However for those with good roads the firmer ride of a Ford may be good.
That's hints at a very subtle but important point!
Let's take a Chevy 4500 cutaway van under a ~14000 lb. Class C motorhome and compare it to a Ford E450 cutaway van under a ~14000 lb. Class C motorhome.
Now compare them on typical CA roads. What is the difference in the rear end suspensions between the two that would make the Chevy have less pounding in the rear than the Ford? Wouldn't they both have just leaf springs with shocks ... and maybe torsion bars for side-sway control? How could the Chevy take freeway roadcracks in the rear any better than the Ford?
By the way, my E450 with front coil springs rides fine in the front over roadcracks - it's the rear where the problem is, and I really wonder how Chevy does it any better back there? I'm betting that a Chevy 4500 does no better in the rear on CA roads.
