Further proof that beauty isn’t only skin deep.
Experience the Evolution. Winnebago Industries engineers worked closely with Freightliner® to create the Evolution Chassis for the 2006 Horizon®. Available only from Winnebago Industries and designed specifically for this motor home application, Evolution represents the next generation of diesel pusher technology with one-piece formed steel chassis rails that are 25% thicker than traditional raised rails for added strength and performance without the restrictive bulk and weight of stacked rails. Formed rails also provide increased mid-section storage, better weight distribution and improved floor plan flexibility. Evolution delivers a premium driving experience with a powerful 350-HP Caterpillar C7 diesel engine on 36RD. Or, on 40 foot models, the 400-hp Cummins® ISL engine and independent front suspension with an impressive 56° wheel cut, for even more luxury performance.


Features

• 5-year/100,000-mile engine coolant.

• 10,000-pound rated hitch with Tow Power seven-way trailer wiring connector makes for easy hookup of an electric brake controller.

• On 36RD 350-hp 7.2L Caterpillar® C7 diesel engine with ACERT™ technology, Multiple Module Data Computer (MMDC) and 860 lb./ft. of torque provides power to spare for mountain travel, load pulling and passing. For even more power the 400-hp 8.9L Cummins diesel engine, on 40 foot models only.
