If you've ever driven a full-size van (especially a Ford) then you already know, to some degree, how the E-450 Axis/Vegas units ride/drive (they are just slightly larger than your average full-size van).

If you do go test drive one (be it an E-450 Axis/Vegas or an F-53 based larger unit) keep in mind that the unit your test driving most likely has no suspension modifications and probably has not been aligned. So don't completely rule out a unit or line simply based on a single test drive (unfortunately).

There are various options available to make them drive easier (starting with an alignment). Some people like to put a bunch of suspension mods on and others are happy as is (for myself: An alignment was all it took--even the wife is comfortable driving our Axis).
