Camper vans have been all the rage over the past few years, but many Class B owners are now looking to upgrade to something a little larger, yet just as easy to drive. That’s where the new 2026 Jayco Granite Ridge Class C coach enters the picture. This model is larger than a van, but not ponderously so. The 22T floor plan, featured in the video above, also happens to ride on a Ford Transit 350HD AWD chassis, giving it some serious off-road capabilities. And as you’ll see in the YouTube clip, the interior is comfortable, well-appointed, and roomy.

The Jayco Granite Ridge was one of the more exciting motor coaches we saw at the recent Hershey RV Show. Outside, the rig is impressively burly, sporting all-terrain tires, a roof rack, and a collapsible ladder. Starlink internet also comes standard, as does a heated gear garage with Molle panels, and removable wireless speakers courtesy of JBL. It even ships with a Firefly multiplexing system, allowing owners to control lights, climate, power, and more from a touch screen or an app on their smartphone. In other words, this Class C model has both brains and brawn.
Inside, the 22T floor plan features two twin beds that convert into a king, a sizable wet bath, and a versatile dinette that pulls double duty as a lounge when the table is removed. The kitchen comes equipped with a mini-fridge, a single-bowl stainless steel sink, an induction microwave, and a portable induction cooktop that can be stashed away to conserve space. Heating and cooling come courtesy of a 17,000 BTU hydronic heating system and a 13,500 BTU air conditioner. A gas generator and 360W solar panels provide power while living off-grid.

Currently, the Granite Ridge is available in two distinct floor plans. In addition to the 22T model detailed in the video, Jayco also offers the 23S, which swaps the Ford chassis in favor of a Mercedes 3500 AWD version. That model also replaces the L-shaped dinette with bench seating and two removable tables, and has larger wardrobes and a bigger outdoor awning.
The Jayco Granite Ridge promises to be one of the more exciting Class C models to hit the road in 2026. Check out the video to get a sense of everything it brings to the table. And to learn more—including full specs and features—visit the Jayco website.
