AMERICA'S #1 SELLING CLASS C MOTORHOME CHASSIS*

CAB MOUNTING SYSTEM AND SHOCK ABSORBING BODY MOUNTSInsulates the motorhome cab from road bumps and jolts. Large, durable rubber, donut-shaped isolators are mounted on top of the frame rail to provide a “cushion” between the frame and motorhome cab for excellent ride and handling.

TORQSHIFT® AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION AND TOW/HAUL MODEThis tough, durable transmission features an efficient 0.71 overdrive ratio, a high-mileage internal transmission filter and 36 months/60,000 miles service intervals.The selectable Tow/Haul Mode helps reduce gear hunting, improves power delivery and uses engine braking to help control vehicle speed when descending hills. The driver does not have to be towing to use and appreciate Tow/Haul Mode. Select Tow/Haul Mode by pressing the round switch at the end of the shift lever whenever the terrain causes the transmission to frequently shift. Select Tow/Haul Mode when descending a hill. To decrease vehicle speed, firmly press on the brake pedal and release. The TorqShift transmission will downshift one gear, which produces engine braking. Repeated pushing and releasing the brake pedal again will cause the transmission to downshift one gear each time until the vehicle is in first gear. Brake heating and wear are greatly reduced.

GREAT RIDE, STEERING AND HANDLINGThe front and rear suspension systems include robust stabilizer bars to help deliver solid handling. Front and rear shock absorbers are rated to the load range of each model, and tuned to deliver a smooth ride. The steering gear boost-curve enhances road feel and provides excellent steering feedback to the driver.

AFT-OF-AXLE FUEL TANK• A 40-gallon aft-of-axle fuel tank is standard on E-350

and available on E-450.

• A 55-gallon aft-of-axle fuel tank is standard on E-450 and available on E-350 DRW with 158-inch wheelbase.

An Auxiliary Fuel Port, located on the fuel tank, offers entry point access to the fuel tank for specialized gas powered equipment such as a power generator.
