The American Tradition was American Coach's mid-line diesel pusher and one of its best-reviewed coaches, and it remains a sought-after find on the used market. Built on a Freightliner XC-Series chassis with the proven 450-horsepower Cummins inline-six diesel and an Allison automatic, it offered two main floor plans — the 42V and the 45T, both bath-and-a-half layouts running roughly 43 to 45 feet. It carried the brand's hallmarks: full-body paint, Aqua Hot 400D heat, a Firefly multiplex control system, a full-tile shower, king bed, and residential kitchen, with three or four slides depending on plan. On RV Insider the Tradition rates about 4.5 over roughly 18 reviews — the brand's best individual score — with owners repeatedly praising quality and strength of build. The honest trade-offs: it is no longer in current production, so you are shopping used, and the brand-wide warranty and service cautions apply. For a buyer who wants American Coach build at a step below flagship money, a clean Tradition is one of the smartest values the brand has made.
