2021 Ford F53 Chassis v8 engine
I noticed that the new Ford class A motorhomes built on the F53 chassis are now using the V8 engine instead of the 6.8 V10 does anyone know the why? How does the V8 compare to the v10?

Maybe the doghouse will be smaller giving you more room in the cockpit. V-10 was 362 HP then detuned to 320 HP in the newer engines the 7.3 is supposed to be 350 HP. Only time will tell if performance or MPG will improve in a 18,000 lb MH. Some initial reports I have read about Class C's with the new engine have been good.
