450 small block vs 500 big block
The biggest difference, to me, is the torque. 1200+ in the 450 & 1600+ in the 500. But in the 2 coaches I am looking at (a new Dutch Star vs a new Mountain Aire) there is also a big difference in the empty weight of these 2 coaches. The Dutch Star is 7,200 lbs. lighter.
Assuming one is only towing a car that is in the 4,400 lbs. range as opposed to a heavy trailer or sorts, is the 450 going to be a problem on hills out west?
