We purchased the 235S with the Chevy 6.0 L. I previously had a Ford V-10 on my Starflyte. It is a gutsy engine with a ton of torque. You need to watch the oil level, they have a tendency of burning oil at speed. I checked it before each weekend. Make sure you specify NO Firestone tires if you order the Ford. We had two blowouts in the sidewalls on non recalled tires. One I contributed to due to a nail in one of the duals that allowed a slow leak that may have weakened the tire. I didn't catch it (inside dual tire) until after a trip. The other went all on its own with less than 20,000 miles on it. Now I check the tires also before nearly every weekend trip.
We've had the 235S since March. Used it nearly every Spring and Fall weekend for Dog Shows. Love the slide out, made some enhancements inside and out. Don't like the rattle in the slide when pulled in and driving, don't like the lack of check out that the dealer did. BUT, I even have had some friends buy the same model! So we love it! We went with the Chevy mostly because my wife liked the leg room the Chevy gives you versus the Ford in the cabin area. Check out both of them.
