I see many of the comments go toward Chevy vs Ford on the C. Is there any real good reason other than the Ford vs Chevy?
The Ford E350 and E450 are most affordable, most capable, and most friendly for wheel base adjustments which is why they are most popular. But they are the least comfortable, handle worse, are least fuel efficient, and are most noisy which is why the others are in the game. I personally don't find the deficiencies to be but only a minor nuisance except for the poor handling of which I was able to address our E350 rig with some aftermarket suspension upgrades. To be even more fair about it, I wonder how the other chassis' would fair if used in the exact same application with the exact same wheel base.
The Super C category of class Cs are in a league of their own, built on serious truck chassis's.
