2015 Pleasure Way Plateau TS questions?

We are about to make a choice (between two models) and purchase one of them tomorrow.
We would like to hear from those of you who have experience with these units as a last minute "heads-up" for us to consider!

- Our first choice is a PW Plateau TS on Mercedes 2.1L ( I think on 2500 chassis)

- and the other one is PW Plateau TS on Mercedes 3.0L built on 3500 chassis...

Which engine gives better MPG and smoother ride?

Overall any experience with these units, positive or negative would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance friends...
  • I think all TS models are built on the 3500 chassis. We have a 2014 (2013 chassis)TS, 3.0l on the 3500. Drives nice and gets 17-18 mpg. No experience with the 2.1l but reports are that it gets better mileage.
  • Thanks for the info...

    What I learned is that the 2.1L is a 7 speed engine with 166HP compared to 3.0 is 5 speed with 188HP...

    So, I was wondering if either one has smoother ride than the other?
