Theoretically speaking, the Thor Axis/Vegas should have pretty good linear stability with its 188" wheelbase. That is 18" longer than Mercedes Sprinter based coaches.

For example both the Ford based Class A Axis/Vegas and the Sprinter based Class Cs are about the same length- 25.5' or 306". The Axis/Vegas has a wheelbase to length ratio of .61 and the Sprinter based coaches have a ratio of .56. Anything over 0.6 generally has good stability.

It is my understanding that Ford upgraded the front sway bar in 2021 along with the new engine which is reported to make stability even better.
