From reading this forum almost daily for a decade plus, the Ford C's are a dice roll. Some apparently handle OK, according to their owners. Others, to a vastly varying degree, respond mildly to wildly to road irregularities, cross winds, and /or passing trucks.
IMO, your best bet if you must insist on Ford is to find a floor plan you really like on a dealer's lot, verify tire pressures, and take it for a long test drive including rough roads & passing trucks. Note cab comfort on both sides. If you like the results, buy it on the spot.
Chevys seem to give a much better chance of driving well right out of the box, but generally are the shorter & lighter units. Cab comfort is better.
Jim, "Mo' coffee!"
From my personal experience, reading, and discussing issues with owners I think the biggest difference is the driver...period. Some have no problem and some complain and complain.
As for me, I had a Jayco on an E450 and put 65,000 miles on it. I did an alignment when it was new and replaced the shocks at 50,000 miles, never had a problem with handling.
