Shopping for a new Pasadena or a used Pasadena? MHSRV stocks one of the largest selections of Thor Motor Coach Pasadena Super C diesel motorhomes for sale anywhere in the country, all backed by industry-leading discount pricing.
Where the Pasadena Fits
The Pasadena is one of Thor's most flexible Super C diesel product lines because both trim tiers and the family bunk model live under the same lineup. The standard Pasadena runs four floor plans (34XG, 38DX, 38FX, and the family-focused 38XL with dedicated bunks). The HD trim currently sells at MHSRV as the HD 38FX. The Pasadena SV is the feature-upgraded sister product line if you want more standard equipment on the same platform. Buyers considering the Pasadena are usually cross-shopping it against the Thor Inception and Inception HD (same chassis and drivetrain, with their own décor and paint packages), the 4x4 Magnitude Grand, or a Class A diesel pusher.
Chassis, Powertrain, and Towing
The Pasadena rides on the Freightliner S2RV chassis with an Atlas Foundation. The Cummins 6.7L ISB-XT diesel puts out 360 horsepower and 800 lb-ft of torque, and the coach carries a 15,000-pound trailer hitch. That combination pulls a full-size toad vehicle, a boat, or a substantial enclosed trailer without over-taxing the chassis, and it's a step above what most Class A and Class C gas motorhomes handle safely.
Cockpit
Cockpit standards include air-ride adjustable captain's chairs, cruise control, heated and remote exterior mirrors, and a side-view camera system. The 10-inch touchscreen dash radio pairs with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM prep.
Exterior, Paint, and Solar
Every Pasadena carries full-body paint with gel-coated sidewalls and the Stealth Black-Out Package standard, with color options that include Zephyr Cove. Oversized basement pass-through storage handles outdoor gear (bikes, chairs, coolers, and full-size camping gear fit without stacking). A power patio awning with integrated LED lighting expands the outdoor living footprint. Standard rooftop solar is a 100-watt panel with multiplex-panel monitoring. An optional 400-watt upgrade brings total capacity up to 500 watts, which is a meaningful off-grid enabler for buyers who want to reduce generator runtime.
Connectivity and Entertainment
The Winegard ConnecT 5G rooftop unit combines a Wi-Fi extender, 5G hotspot, and TV antenna in a single housing. Smart TVs are installed in the living area and the bedroom, and a 40-inch exterior LED TV handles outdoor tailgating or campsite movie nights.
Living Area
Power theater seating comes standard on every Pasadena floor plan, with footrests, heat, massage, USB charging ports, and cup holders. A Dream Dinette booth adds a wireless phone charger with USB plug built into the tabletop plus cup holders. The 38DX, 38FX, and 38XL floor plans include an electric fireplace with a remote for cooler-weather camping.
Galley
The kitchen runs a residential refrigerator with in-door water and ice dispenser, a spacious pantry, and a double-bowl stainless steel sink with pull-down sprayer. An induction cooktop and a convection microwave with air fryer mode round out the cooking setup, so owners can cook whether they're plugged into shore power or running off inverter and solar.
Master Bedroom and Sleeping
Every Pasadena runs a King-size master bed with the Tilt-A-View inclining mechanism (useful for reading or watching TV in bed). A cab-over bunk over the cockpit is standard on every floor plan and includes a shaded skylight for stargazing. The Dream Dinette converts into another sleeping surface when needed. The 38XL family layout goes further with dedicated interior bunk beds for kids. Bedside nightstands include wireless and USB charging ports.
The Pasadena and HD Floor Plans
Pasadena 34XG: The most compact Pasadena floor plan. King bed, cab-over bunk, standard theater seating.
Pasadena 38DX: Mid-length layout. Adds the standard electric fireplace on top of the base Pasadena feature set.
Pasadena 38FX: The longer luxury-tier layout. Fireplace and expanded living area.
Pasadena 38XL (family/bunk model): The family pick. Adds dedicated interior bunk beds on top of the standard cab-over bunk, King master, and dinette, so it sleeps the whole family without giving up the King.
Pasadena HD 38FX: The upgraded trim built on the same 38FX floor plan. Adds HD-specific standard equipment and finish upgrades.
Shopping the Pasadena against Thor's other Super C diesel builds? Compare it to the Pasadena SV (feature-upgraded sister lineup), the Thor Inception and Inception HD, the 4x4 Thor Magnitude Grand, or the Thor Omni. Every one of them is stocked at MHSRV, which sells more Thor Motor Coach RVs than any other dealer in the country.
Thor Pasadena FAQs
What is the Thor Pasadena?
The Thor Pasadena is a Super C diesel motorhome built by Thor Motor Coach. It's offered in two trim levels at MHSRV (standard Pasadena and HD) across five configurations, all built on the Freightliner S2RV chassis with the Cummins ISB-XT diesel and a residential luxury interior. It's aimed at buyers who want serious diesel chassis capability, a King bed with the Tilt-A-View mechanism, and the option of a family bunk model (the 38XL) under the same product lineup.
What chassis is the Thor Pasadena built on?
The Freightliner S2RV chassis with the Atlas Foundation, powered by the Cummins 6.7L ISB-XT turbo diesel at 360 horsepower and 800 lb-ft of torque. Same chassis and drivetrain family as the Thor Inception, so the platform DNA is well-proven in the Super C category.
Is the Thor Pasadena a diesel?
Yes. Every Pasadena runs the Cummins 6.7L ISB-XT diesel. There is no gas engine option on the Pasadena. Buyers who need diesel torque, extended range, and the low-RPM pulling character of a diesel Super C should look at the Pasadena as one of Thor's top options in the category.
Is the Thor Pasadena a Super C?
Yes. The Pasadena is a Super C diesel motorhome. It uses a heavy-duty Freightliner S2RV medium-duty chassis with the Cummins ISB-XT diesel and a coach body with a cab-over bunk over the truck cab. That's what separates a Super C from a light-duty Class C (which uses a smaller cutaway chassis) and from a Class A (which uses a flat-front bus-style cab).
How much can the Thor Pasadena tow?
Every Pasadena carries a 15,000-pound rear trailer hitch rating. That's a substantial tow rating for the Super C category and covers a full-size SUV or truck toad, a boat, an enclosed cargo trailer, or a smaller toy hauler behind the coach.
What floor plans does the Thor Pasadena come in?
Five configurations across the two trim levels: the standard Pasadena 34XG, 38DX, 38FX, and 38XL (family bunk model), plus the HD 38FX trim. Every floor plan runs the King-size Tilt-A-View bed, the cab-over bunk with shaded skylight, and standard theater seating.
What is the difference between the Pasadena and the Pasadena SV?
Both the Pasadena and the Pasadena SV share the Freightliner S2RV chassis and the Cummins ISB-XT diesel. The Pasadena SV is the feature-upgraded sister product line with additional standard equipment, finish upgrades, and floor plan configurations. Pick the standard Pasadena for the base Super C diesel platform and the family bunk 38XL. Pick the Pasadena SV when you want the higher-content build on the same chassis.
What is the difference between the Pasadena and the Pasadena HD trim?
Both share the Freightliner S2RV chassis, the Cummins ISB-XT diesel, and the King bed with Tilt-A-View. The HD trim adds trim-level standard equipment, finish package upgrades, and (currently) a specific 38FX floor plan configuration. Pick the standard Pasadena for the wider floor plan choice (34XG, 38DX, 38FX, 38XL). Pick the HD 38FX for the upgraded standard equipment on the 38FX layout.
What is the difference between the Pasadena and the Inception?
Both are Thor Super C diesels built on the Freightliner S2RV chassis with the Cummins ISB-XT diesel at 360 horsepower and 800 lb-ft, and both lines carry the 34XG, 38DX, 38FX, and the 38XL bunk model. With the platform and the layouts matching, the differences come down to décor packages, paint options, and how each line's trim levels are equipped: the Pasadena offers an HD trim on the 38FX, while the Inception runs a full Inception HD line across its lineup. Compare the specific coaches on the lot, since standard equipment shifts by trim and model year.
Which Pasadena has bunks?
The 38XL. It's the family bunk model and adds dedicated interior bunk beds for kids in addition to the standard cab-over bunk. Combined with the King master and the convertible Dream Dinette, the 38XL can sleep a family of six comfortably.
Does every Thor Pasadena come with a King bed?
Yes. Every Pasadena floor plan runs a King-size master bed with the Tilt-A-View inclining mechanism as standard. That's uncommon in the broader Super C category, where Queen master beds are more typical at similar price points.
How many people does the Thor Pasadena sleep?
Every Pasadena sleeps at least four (King master, cab-over bunk). The convertible Dream Dinette adds a fifth sleeping spot when needed. The 38XL family layout goes further with dedicated interior bunks, bringing total capacity to six or seven depending on how you configure the dinette. Convertible layouts are floor-plan specific, so verify the sleep count on the exact unit you're considering.
Does the Thor Pasadena come with solar?
Yes. Every Pasadena comes standard with a 100-watt rooftop solar charging system monitored through the multiplex control panel. An optional 400-watt upgrade brings total roof solar capacity up to 500 watts, which is meaningful for buyers who plan extended off-grid stays or want to reduce generator run time.
Can I drive the Thor Pasadena without a special license?
Check your state's rules before you buy, because the Pasadena sits above the weight line that several states use. Thor lists a 32,700-pound GVWR across the current Pasadena floor plans, which is over the 26,001-pound mark. A commercial driver's license generally isn't the issue, since federal rules exempt motorhomes driven for personal, non-commercial travel. What does apply in some states is a non-commercial upgraded license: Texas, California, Wisconsin, and others require a non-commercial Class A or B for motorhomes above 26,000 pounds, and the thresholds and wording vary. Confirm the GVWR on the specific coach and your own state's DMV requirements before purchase.
How much does a Thor Pasadena cost?
Pricing on a new Pasadena varies by trim level (standard Pasadena or HD), floor plan (34XG, 38DX, 38FX, or 38XL), options, and exterior paint. MHSRV discounts every new Pasadena well below MSRP. Contact the sales team for a current out-the-door quote on any specific in-stock unit.
