Looks can be very deceiving. As TyCreek pointed out, it is about the ratio of wheel base to length to start with (e.g. 38' Challenger on a 252 wheel base = 55.2 ratio).
Then the layout, weight distribution and tire size are equally important. BUT if your ratio is low - very difficult to get there from here.
Finally, if ratio is solid and loading is well thought out - correct tire pressure is literally where the rubber meets the road.
Like Dave, after we had our first road trip behind us - I simply could not believe how well the new Challenger 37TB handled. We have since traveled 14000 miles (most in a round trip coast to coast trip with granddaughters) and I can only remember getting "surprised" one time by a what I called a rogue side wind. It was SCARY but not dangerous.
PS: I added a Roadmaster Steering Stabilizer to help with blowouts not for steering troubles.
