New Toy Hauler

We are trying to decide on a new trailer.
The current candidates are the Carbon 327 and the Torque 321.
These are very similar units and we are looking for personal experience with these models or at least these brands.
We are open to others as well if someone has a recommendation.
Thanks

I recently purchased a carbon 327 paid $48k after some haggling, mine came loaded even has 3 batteries and generator. So far we love it and yes it is the lowest priced 5er toy hauler from keystone, but we really don't need a side by side fridge or stereos with 12 inch woofers.

Have you looked at the EDGE line? (Heartland) - We found the interiors to be a bit nicer than the Torque line.

If you haven't already recommend taking a look at Eclipse Attitude/Stellar line. They are similar priced/equipped as the units you have looked at.

That's a generous budget. Remember, over 35% off MSRP is standard on any ordered RV and that can go up on an in stock unit that the dealer is trying to move.

We are looking at these as they meet our needs, 12 ft garage and three slides without being too long or heavy.
We are somewhat low frills types, and are looking for good quality.
Looking to stay around 50k OTD.

We were in the same boat as you, except it was a Carbon 357 vs. a Torque 325SS. After going through both units we choose the Carbon as we felt overall the Carbon was just a little nicer and had a better quality. While we just received our 357 and have only spent 5 nights in it so far, we are very pleased with it...actually we are in love with it.

Other suggestions would really depend on your budget. The two you chose and lower lines from their respective manufacturers with less standards and options. I'm big on certain brands but they may be above what you want to spend.
