2026 FOREST RIVER XLR BOOST 286B

The 2026 XLR Boost 286B is a mid-size travel trailer toy hauler designed for buyers who want dedicated cargo space without stepping into a fifth wheel. Built on a powder-coated steel frame and engineered specifically for toy-hauler weight loads, the 286B blends durability with practical residential comfort.

At the rear, the fully functional garage features a heavy-duty ramp door system for loading ATVs, dirt bikes, or side-by-sides (size dependent). Integrated floor tie-downs secure cargo during transit, while the garage easily converts into secondary living or sleeping space once unloaded. Depending on configuration, this area can include fold-up sofas and/or a drop-down bed system, making it ideal for families or riding groups. The ramp may also function as a patio space when equipped with railing kit.

The main living area is positioned forward of the garage and offers a functional, open-concept layout. The kitchen includes a residential-style refrigerator, three-burner cooktop with oven, microwave, stainless sink, solid-surface style countertops (package dependent), and ample cabinetry for extended trips. The living space is entertainment-ready with TV backer and connectivity options, along with comfortable seating positioned for visibility and flow.

The full bathroom includes a walk-in shower with skylight for additional headroom, vanity with storage, foot-flush toilet, and medicine cabinet. This is a complete bath setup—not a compromise wet bath—making the unit suitable for longer stays.

Up front, the private queen bedroom provides separation from both the garage and living area. Dual wardrobes and overhead cabinets maximize storage, and privacy doors allow for a true dedicated sleeping space.

Exterior features enhance campsite usability, including a power awning with LED lighting, exterior speakers, backup camera prep, and solar prep. The enclosed underbelly (where equipped) and high-output A/C system support seasonal versatility. A walkable roof simplifies maintenance and inspection.

Overall, the 286B positions itself as a practical, family-capable toy hauler: large enough for real cargo, compact enough to remain manageable as a travel trailer, and equipped with the residential features customers expect in today’s market.
