Mercedes 2.0 vs 3.0

[Nodak52]

I am contemplating buying a Winnebago View but cannot decide between a 2024 with a 3.0 L engine or a 2025 with the new 2.0 turbo charged Mercedes engine. Does anybody have a recommendation or advice?

Gemini says the 2.0 L (211 hp) w/9 spd..tran. is technically superior in terms of power and efficiency. The 2025 is awd as well. The V6 ( 188 hp) has a distinct growl while the I-4 is quieter but has a distinct high pitch when climbing steep grades. Old school RV'ers prefer the V6 due to it's simpler proven reliability.

Thank you for your insight, it’s very much appreciated. Because the 2.0 is so new I’d certainly want the full manufacturers warranty as offered only as a new RV. The used 2024 View with the 3.0 V6 only has 4,100 miles but has proven reliability. Again, thank you for your response.
