Thor Gemini AWD 23TW vs Coachmen Cross Trail XL 22XG

Thor · Class C

The difference that matters

All-wheel drive is the Gemini AWD 23TW's headline. It pairs a 3.5L EcoBoost V6 with an AWD system, a 5,000 lb tow rating and an 11,000 lb GVWR, and comes with a 4.0 kW dual-fuel generator with an automatic transfer switch, a ceiling-ducted 15,000 BTU air conditioner, 100 W of solar and a tankless water heater. It sleeps three.

The Coachmen Cross Trail XL 22XG sits on a Ford E-350 with a 12,500 lb GVWR and a 2,500 lb tow rating, sleeps four in a no-slide layout and has heated tank pads and generator prep. It carries more fresh and black water, 41 and 31 gallons against 31 and 19, while the Gemini's gray tank is larger at 37 against 28. Lengths are within a foot, 23.6 and 24.25 feet.

Snowy passes, dirt roads to trailheads and a small trailer behind point to the Gemini. A fourth berth and larger fresh and black tanks point to the Cross Trail.

Thor Gemini AWD 23TW: Ski-area or dirt-road drivers, as a couple, who want AWD with a generator included.
Coachmen Cross Trail XL 22XG: A small family who want a fourth berth and more fresh water in a no-slide Class C.
