Yes, and there is a big difference between a 16,000-pound GVWR chassis and one limited to 12,500 pounds.
In addition to having two slides, I'm sure the FR3 also feels much bigger because it's 99.5 inches wide instead of 94 inches, and the overall height is almost a foot taller (12'-2" vs 11'-3").
Other than length and one similar floorplan option these motorhomes have little in common from my perspective.
I'm biased towards the Axis because I prefer smaller motorhomes, and if anything would want either Thor or someone else to build an even smaller/simpler/lighter Class A on Ford E-350. I'd like one without the chassis stretch (would still be much longer than FR3 158-inch wheelbase), and a lower overall height. The more I research it, the less I understand why the Axis is so much taller than some Class Cs built on Ford cutaway.
