difference between Forest River and Forest River Midwest?
I'm looking at upgrading to a Grey Wolf 25RRT and ran across a 2020 Grey Wolf 25RRT Midwest , different from the normal 2020 Grey Wolf 25RRT I have seen mostly of. I cannot find any differences in features, does anybody know what the "Midwest" reference is for?

Could just be a "Dealer Brand". I have a Cherokee 304, which is branded for the Dealer as a "Patriot" Edition. It came with a few more options that you wouldn't find on a regular Cherokee 304. Dual A/C on 30A service, Electric Stabilizer Jacks...etc.

You might have something, I did notice the "midwest" one also had electric stabilizer and what looked like LED lights under the steps to the entrance door. Hadn't noticed them on others.

I've seen a few out there that ForestRiver builds specifically for a certain dealer. The "Patriot" Edition for the Cherokee is exclusive to A/C Nelson Dealership.

odd that the "midwest" seems to have more features but is $1500 less than others I have seen.

Forest River builds in factories in Indiana, as well as southern California, if that might make any difference. Thor does as well.

^^^^^^This! FR has some divisions that have factories in the West, in addition to the main Midwest factories. The West factories are in Oregon and SoCal. They often have models only available in their region.
BUT FR also will make models with different outside graphics and interior decor, for large dealership chains.

The Wildcats are built in Oregon. Thought that would make them better in the QC department...............NOT!

Last time I went to the FR corporate website you had to choose a region. US map was basically split in half with the left coast designated as "Midwest". Wildcats are also made in So. Cal,(some) Sonomas is made in Hemet,CA, my Surveyor was made in Oregon. Some models are not offered in both regions.

My 2016 Wildcat 295rsx was built in Goshen and in 2016 they also built them in Dallas, Oregon. Then in 2017 they discontinued the 295rsx in Goshen and replaced it with a similar but not as feature rich version. However, Dallas Oregon continues to build the 295rsx but without the Maxxis tire option and without the standard 2nd A/C but they do add tank heaters. You can only buy the West models (like the Dallas Oregon ones) from a dealer out west.
