Well this is my comparison :
1st off not a exact comparison, I sold my 2008 33 foot class A with the V-10, 5 speed trans, with banks power pack system and 5 star tuning on motor. [19,500 lbs]
Bought a new 2021 class B+ 25 foot with the new 7.3 V-8, 6 speed trans, premium HP/Torque motor. [10,000 lbs]
I was towing my 4000 lb Tacoma behind the new class B+ and the motor stayed in 6th gear 90 percent of the time from Salt Lake city to Las Vegas, the motor was much quieter, less RPM's, never went below 4th gear, in fact it only went to 4th gear once the whole trip and it used only 3/4 of a 55 gal gas tank from Salt Lake to Las Vegas towing 4000 lbs..
[ estimate 9.5 mpg ] [ maybe 10 to 11 mpg not towing ?]
I will have to say from this perspective I really like the new 7.3 V-8 with the 6 speed transmission..
Oh and down sizing is now cool, I can travel more places easier and cheaper..
