Looking at one of these and the description says 360 hp. Started doing a search for other used models and they all say roughly 350 to 385 depending on the RPM. Further research shows the specs for the engine a Cummins ISB-XT Diesel Engine is indeed 350-385.But a video by the manufacturer who did a fairly long presentation when it was new said that “ all Tuscany models now come with a 450 hp diesel”Is the guy whose doing the video full of it and giving out incorrect info??

Here is an idea, call Cummins with the serial number. They have all the info about all their motors.

They have all the info about all their motors.It’s not a question for Cummings, as stated, I already know it’s 360 hp for that engine. But it’s a question for the manufacture or someone that owns one to know where the discrepancy lies. Just curious if maybe they change their minds and made it an option only?

If you know it's a 360hp, why are you posting? If it is 360, it's 360 and any thing you hear from anyone else is nonsense. Or, you could call Cummins with the serial number.

And it's a Cummins - 6.7L ISBe to be exact.

Yes sir! One seller from ad responded that it’s only for anything longer than a 40 footer and comes with a tag axle then it has the bigger 450 engine. Which basically means the guy on the video lied!!! LOL

It could be a ISB 360 or an ISC 360, big difference between them. :W

The 2014 Tuscany XTE had the ISB 360HP.

We have a Tuscany 40DX with the ISL9 450 HP. I think the Aria is a somewhat dumbed down Tuscany with the ISB engine. Way to little engine for that size of coach at least out west with mountains in my opinion.

Unless I missed it, no one here has pointed out that you must be talking about the Tuscany XTE (which has the Cummins ISB engine), not the Tuscany (which has the 450HP Cummins ISL). Yes, it would have been nice if they hadn't called them both "Tuscany," but I think they have since resolved that by introducing the Aria and Venetian and doing away with the XTE.

Did you happen to notice the fine print on the last page of the brochure or the Terms of Use page on Thor's web site? They have well paid lawyers thinking about stuff like this.

That's where the fine print comes into the picture. It usually says something like "Prices and specifications subject to change", or something to that effect.

He actually said all Tuscany models not all models

2014 brochure only one engine offered 450hp

I know, this thread is about Tuscany models as in the title and opening statement so when I said all models I assumed everyone knew I was referring to all Tuscany models :) Plus the video is about the Tuscany model so of course... lol

But yes the brochure is wrong so something is amiss
