That would be because you haven’t driven one. Newer V-8 motor/6 speed hands down better than the V-10

The only way I would buy a class C with a Ford V-8 is if it came with the 6.7L power stroke Diesel, just like my 2022 F-350 has. It’s my 3rd superduty with the 6.7L and my first with the 10 speed transmission.

Judging from the 2011 & 2016 trucks I had, the 6.7L is a beast, and in the 2016 going up 5% & 7% grades 5-8 miles long it never kicked out of 6th gear (3.73 gears, DRW) it easily maintained 65-70 mph (in cruise control) going up and down the hills of West Virginia towing my 2020 30’ Puma 5th wheel. The only problem with the 2016 is that it got at best a 10.1 mpg average for the 1,600 mile round trip.

My current rig is quite a bit shorter than I was used to driving, 2006 Peterbilt 379, C-15 cat, 8 spd and a 53’ refer.

Variations

While you bought a rv with a 2019 chassis and even though the nada price is lower your rv is titled as a 2021 so as far as nada is concerned you will need to view the 2021 values to understand it’s true value. But you bought a 2021 rv regardless of what the chassis is listed under. From the many posts that I’ve seen over the past few years as long as the issues with it are minimal count your blessings.

OP: The forum will go on for years from people who haven’t read earlier posts and discovered you’d come to peace on this; that kinda goes with the territory. In the spring when you finally get to head down the road (heavily overloaded with all the stuff your wife has acquired) you’ll enjoy the heck out of it.
