I have owned both the ford V10 chassis and the chevrolet powered chassis and prefer the chevy. Better fuel mileage, less maintenance,, fewer repairs, less cab heat and a much smoother ride in general. Both were were 30 feet .the 6.0 motor is strong running. Great combo in my opinion.
Less maintenance!!! You must be kidding? We've had our 2011 E450 for just over 3 years. Local Ford dealer sold us 5 service visits for $120. So now it has had 6 oil changes (4 coupons left from second batch), filters and lubes and total cost $120 + $20 for $160 over three years. For three years my former Tahoe LTZ was far more than that. Same with my wife's former Equinox.
Repairs - not even one thing has gone wrong. Not a single repair or warranty claim and it has 2 years power train left. Suspension - airbags came with the Impulse and it rides better than the Kodiak 8.1 I traded on it - and it is no noisier than the 8.1 we had. Only complaint, if I have one, 8.5 to 9.0 mpg and I was hoping for a bit more. But then Kodiak was 7.6 mpg so I gained a bit.
