What was wheelbase in that 2000 F250? I had short base and it did handle like passenger car.
Now with my 2007 F350 on coil front I am racing BMW at green lights.
The main problem on MH is narrow tires requiring high pressure.
Years ago I bought wide rims from Carlise (?) and going from 80 psi tires to 50 psi tires made it day and night.
Technology those days change on weekly basis, so comparing experience from 10 years ago to today is like comparing dinosaur to horse racing.
Find RV show, dress nicely and ask for test drive.
I don't think real drive-by-wire technology come on the roads yet.
The throttle-by-wire went into 3rd decade on the roads and was ironed to be rock-solid, while brake-by-wire systems were eventually abounded.
Radar-adjusted cruise control is available only on top brands and seems to still have baby teeth.
Computer-controlled steering is called "driverless" and even those cars pass test, seems they have long legal road to go.
