- tmmarExplorerI had that setup in my '08 coach that I had for over 5 years. Ran great and never had any problems or issues with it. I wouldn't worry about speed or torque. It will take you down the road just fine.
ps- I haven't updated the picture of my coach just yet. - frelsangExplorerthank you for all the response and feedback, keep coming please

I am looking at the new Winnebago Forza, see if anyone has the same engine, and want to know if this is a reliable engine, how about the speed and torque if GCWR is 33000lbs, GVWR is 27910lbs.
I know a fellow that bought a HR 3 years ago 36sh ft some slides and he,s extremely disappointed in the power especially pulling toad
its reliable but poor power for the weight.not on flats just when accessing mountain passes and steep hills - wolfe10ExplorerNot concerned about the engine, but would sure prefer the Allison 3000 to the 2500. MUCH more robust.
- kedanieExplorer IIOur sig coach has the Cummins ISB 6.7 and Allison 2500. We are at about the same weights and flat tow our Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's not a rocket ship but the combination goes down the road without problems. We seem to be averaging right at 10mpg running at 65. It will loose some when the wind blows or if we are doing a lot of climbing. It never gets below 50 even on the steepest hills.
Keith - ScottGNomadThe 6.7 has proven to be very reliable. I wouldn't worry about that power train at all.
As for performance, it's all up to the individuals perspective. More torque will always get you down the road better and for 33000# I would prefer a Cummins C series engine but the the 6.7 will do the job.
