I have had both a Chevy and the Ford. Chevy was first (31' Four Winds). It seemed to float on the road and was underpowered in my opinion. Traded for a different floor plan (32' Coachmen) with the Ford V 10. To us, it rides better and has more power. We can cruise 65-70 mph with no effort, except on the steeper hills. Gas mileage might be a wee bit lower but not a deal breaker. It is harder to get around the dog house to get into the back. But again, we wanted this floor plan and would probably have been ok with the Chevy.
