As an automotive tech by trade, my wife was shocked when I purchased the first Ford I have owned since I was 16 years old. I have always been an avid GM guy, have lately been moving to the Toyota camp for the car stuff and KTM's for the bikes I ride. I was pretty happy with the Ford 5.4L V8 reliabilty, but the thing had zero torque below 2,500 rpm. Above 3,500 rpm, it would climb anything. The 6.0L in my GM is a torque monster that can pull most any grade and hold its speed in overdrive. A nice change. The Ford engine have spark plug problems that ALWAYS made me nervous when on the road, a problem I no longer fret when leaving home with a GM chassis. Both units were built by Tioga and are very solid homes that don't flex when going down the road like my 1986 33' Class A did. The roof's and sidewalls on these units are very strong and make the unit a pleasure to drive. What is the GCWR of your chassis? My door sticker is missing and I want to find out this info before towing my FJ40 with it.

Randy that is great to hear nice things on the Chevy chassis like mine.
The GCWR in that chassis is 17550 LBS If it is like mine,a 2006 Tioga on a Chevy Chassis and it seems to be.
I have a copy of the CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY for this rig I found it inside the closet pasted to the wall you might look there or PM me and I will send you a copy of mine.
