Which is better made; Voltage or Torque?

I'm deciding on either the Voltage 300 or Torque 261. Both are MY 2014 and both are tow behind Toy haulers. Both are similarly equipped and fairly close in price. Thoughts?

Thanks for all of the input. I did look at both and I found the Voltage seemed to be made better and was heavier duty. It has 8 lug axles while the Torque had 6. Torque had the Onan 4000 and the Voltage has the 5500. It also had some extras like patio kit with rails, more storage and better cabinets. So I'm going with the Voltage and I pick it up Monday. Anyone here have one to discuss?

On the voltage, I'd check the hitch weight. The brochure I read says it's 1,881 pounds dry. If you have ever put 2,000 pounds on your pickup, you'd know why I question it. I've had 2,000 pubs of rock in the bed of mine and I wouldn't want to drive very far like that.

Torque is Heartlands lower quality hauler so with that being said I'd go with the Voltage, more of a higher end hauler in my opinion. I would think that a lot of the things that are standard on the Voltage would be listed as options for the torque.

Voltage is a luxury toy hauler. Torque is the bottom feeder for Heartland behind the Cyclone, Road Warrior, and Edge. Pay close attention to the specs, compare them.

Depends if I'm throwing lightening bolts or twisting wrenches. Each has heir place.

Sorry couldn't resist. But watching the tread with interest. I have found floor plans by both that I like

Have you looked at both? I found looking at them inside and out side by side or even the same day helps make that decision pretty easy. There is some cheap junk out there and if you look at enough it really shows.

Clearly the torque is the superior model.. better layout IMO..
