Looking at the specifications for the 2021 E-Series it appears Ford has dropped the V-10 and is now putting their new 7.3 gas engine in the cutaway's.

Meh, I owned a 6.0 for 10 years & never had an engine related issue, but then again I never chipped or modified the powertrain in any way. The 1st year of them (2003) Ford cheaped out on the IH spec'd injectors. I would say the 6.0 was a horrible engine to hot rod. For years every time I was at a fuel pump & someone else was there with another 6.0 I would ask them if they had lots of issues, it was very rare I ever encountered someone who said they did and 99% of those guys were running chipped trucks. .
We’ve got a bunch of 6.0 Fords, never had a lick of problem with ANY of them, but then again we maintain them, properly.
A local diesel specialty shop near here our mechanics use have always said, the most abusive thing you can do to a diesel pickup is to leave it idling, or putting around, they need to WORK!!
I personally think the 6.0 PowerStroke ‘story’ is much like the Pinto ‘story’. The truth is the Pinto was safer than the competitions models.
No, the 6.doh was a terd, from the first to the last. Yes, you could make it sorta, kinda, almost reliable if you spend a pile of money to tear into it and re-engineer out the many problems...but it's still an inherently poor design. I watched the 6.doh turn two companies from all-Ford fleets to never buying diesel Fords again.
