5.4L vs 6.8L in small Class C
We have been looking at Class C vehicles in the 24' range typically denoted as 22H, 23C, etc., we will not be towing a "toad". I see mostly units with the 6.8L V10 but occasionally one pops up with...

Alternative view: I don't use tow haul unless in hilly areas and I find a need. I find it to be over the top hyper. Banging off downshifts on brief downhills, racing engine to over 4500 RPM on a hill that will run out imminently. There is no way it can read the terrain as well as a set of eyes. For my tastes it holds gears too long on acceleration as well. Frankly I think as implemented it is of marginal utility. Good for engine braking when needed. But I think a set of paddle shifters would be better-simply select the gear of choice. On acceleration it is an alternative shift program of some usefulness if you feel you want to run out the gears a bit longer.
At least on my 24' I don't see any way towhaul could increase fuel economy. Everything it does points to just the opposite.
At some point a GPS tie in with the towhaul could give a better shift strategy for those who want automatic shifting in all conditions. At least the system would know the hill would run out in a half block.
