This is not what you asked but is a data point. I have the 25B (Itasca 2014) on a Chevy chassis. It is the 324-hp 6.0L GM Vortec engine (V8) and 6 speed auto transmission with overdrive and tow haul. In the literature it is compared to the E450 and of course GM claims it performs better. I chose the Chevy over Ford for the extra cab space and more comfortable ride and because the GVWR is 12300 lb rather than 11500. Fully loaded I run 10500 lb. with 1 person.
I have found it to be as powerful as I want it to be. I have taken it all over the east coast and through the Blue Ridge Mountains. I do not currently tow but I have enough GCWR to do that.
I get 9.5 - 10 mpg.
