Chevy Vortec vs Ford V10
I'm looking at a 2001 Coachman Mirada which came with both the Vortec 8.1 and the Ford V10. Which one is better for gas mileage, power, and reliability?

I am happy with my Ford which is on the 2003 chassis. There is no problem to carry out a conversation as the engine noise is not a problem. The engine runs very cool no matter how hot it is outside.
I just did a longer trip and averaged 8.4 mpg towing a Pontiac G 6 with the air on the whole trip and the generator on when ever we stopped. I think that is reasonable.
Not sure what is meant by the tail wagging as I have not experienced this at all. I do like being able to take the MH to a Ford dealer for any necessary work relating to the chassis.
I believe the brake recall for Workhorse affected every W20 and W-22 chassis they built.
At present time Workhorse has not built a chassis in at least a couple years as Navistar basically closed down the MH chassis plant and switched the production to another plant where they make delivery trucks I believe.
