2026 Grand Design Lineage LVTI

Grand Design is especially popular with RV enthusiasts, particularly for their fifth wheels. Building on this reputation, Grand Design introduced a motorized model at the Hershey RV show, claiming it offers a unique construction approach. Clearly, they aim to leverage their well-known success with towable units—here’s how they describe the new Lineage.

“The Lineage Series VT isn’t a conversion — it’s a purpose-built adventure van designed by Grand Design for travellers who demand more from every journey. Built on the AWD Ford Transit chassis, the VT is the only RVIA-certified all-wheel drive adventure van on the market, offering true off-grid capability with the safety and reliability of a fully inspected motorhome.”

This off-road capable Class B vehicle is constructed on the Ford T350 (long) Cargo chassis. It is equipped with a 3.5L V6 GTDi engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission, delivering 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.

This unit addresses the increasing demand for sustainable travel options and the rising popularity of nomadic lifestyles. The design incorporates several exclusive, industry-first features, including a fully integrated pop-top option that accommodates sleeping for four individuals. Built on the Ford Transit chassis, it delivers reliability, capability, and serviceability that meet the requirements of adventure van owners throughout North America.

Some other unique features:

• • • A fully convertible AquaHaven Rainshower System, allowing campers to adjust the space from living room to shower. Featuring a venting window, expanded shower height, luxe rainfall shower head and flexible hidden drain.
    • An industry-first Stealth Split AC System that moves AC components off your roof to save space while delivering superior cooling at 20K BTU capacity in near silence.
    • A custom Ford Raptor-Style Grille that makes a bold statement while driving.
    • An industry-leading 48V Lithionics System that delivers reliable power for longer adventures away from shore power, up to 3 days even with AC.

• • • An industry-first Panoramic Double-Pane Skylight developed and manufactured in Europe provides an immersive experience with exceptional optical and thermal performance on the road.
