Is 300HP Enough
We are thinking of switching to a Class A or a Super C to use for towing our race trailer which weighs 7-8K when loaded. We like the Fleetwood Excursion which sits on a Freightliner chassis with 300HP...

I bet she will only tow 5000 to 6000 lbs when doing the math. The Allison 2100 transmission limits the GCWR to a total of 30,000 lbs, the engine is limited only by the permitted input foot pounds torque (550 lb-ft) and HP (300HP) limitations of the transmission.Lipets wrote:
