CHASSIS & FUEL

The Forza is built on the Freightliner XCS which provides a solid foundation, boasting 700 lb. ft. of torque or power and is paired with the best of class Allison six-speed transmission that includes grade braking and engine exhaust braking. Comparatively, the Adventurer is equipped with the new Ford F53 chassis with 7.3 litre V8 which is powered by a new TorqShift six-speed automatic transmission with grade braking.

One of the most important difference between the Winnebago Forza and Winnebago Adventure is fuel-type and the many things that accompany this difference. While the Adventurer is a Winnebago Class A motorhome, the Forza is a Class A “Diesel Pusher.” Diesel motorhomes provide increased torque, increased towing capacity, air ride suspension for a more comfortable night and more. However, the first factor that people notice when comparing diesel versus gas is price.

The Winnebago Adventurer’s price starts at $241,455 while the Forza starts at $353,711. A main component of this cost difference is the chassis, so price is a significant consideration when choosing between a Class A diesel or gas RV. With the diesel Winnebago Forza, you are equipped with a 340-hp Cummins ISB 6.7L engine, NeWay air suspension with V-Ride, OptiView dash with a digital instrument panel cluster, and the DriveTech driving system. The Forza also features an innovative slide room lock system to keep your slide rooms secured during travel. These significant and innovative features contribute greatly to the price difference and ensure you will have the power and maneuverability needed to comfortably reach your destination.

Because of this improved and more powerful system, the Winnebago Forza also has a much higher tow rating of 10,000-lb. with a 500-lb. maximum vertical tongue weight while the Adventurer’s trailer hitch maxes out at 5,000-lb. with a 500-lb. maximum vertical tongue weight.

The Winnebago Adventurer has a 7.3L V8 Engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission with tow/haul mode and Hydro-Max System power brakes. The Adventurer also has electronic stability and traction control, a steering stabilizer system and the Sumo Springs Suspension enhancement.

FLOORPLANS

The Winnebago Forza is available in three floorplans, each with ample seating and storage. The 34T floorplan can sleep up to five people, the 36H sleeps 6, and the 38W, by utilizing bunk beds and numerous sleeping areas, has a sleeping capacity of up to eight. Another feature that makes the 38W floorplan stand out are the two full-baths available while the 34T and 36H floorplans both include one full bath.

The Winnebago Adventurer is currently available in two floorplans, the 34W and 35F, with a third coming soon, the 36Z. Both the 34W and 35F include two slideouts, one of which houses the dining and seating area while the other allows access to the walkaround bed, and the 36Z floorplan will include three slideouts for maximum use of space. Both the 34W and 35F floorplans have sleeping areas for five people while the 36Z can sleep six.

EXTERIOR

Both the Winnebago Forza and Winnebago Adventurer include a powered awning with LED lighting in order to create a convenient patio for outdoor entertaining. However, the Forza includes a second patio awning in the 34T floorplan while the 36H and 38W floorplans feature a powered awning over the entry door. Another difference between the Forza and Adventurer is the inclusion of an outdoor entertainment center. While the Adventurer includes a setup with 32″ HDTV, two speakers, DVD player, and AM/FM radio standard, the Forza offers a similar setup as an additional option.

These furnishings include the BenchMark Dinette, TrueComfort+ Sofa, Rest Easy Sofa, StudioLoft bed and more. The 36H and 38W floorplans also include an electric fireplace.

Each floorplan in the Winnebago Adventurer includes a standard king-size bed as well as similar furnishings to the Forza that double as sleeping and seating areas including a TrueComfort+ Sofa, BenchMark Dinette, StudioLoft Bed and more.
