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?
  • The 7.3V8 has about 21 year newer technology and from the reports I have read it shows. Not the the V10 was bad, but Ford learned a lot in those 21 years.
  • Dont forget,,,, 2021 Class A's are being built on 2020 Ford Chassis and drivetrains.
    There is some overlap.
  • I thought Ford dropped the V-10 engine when they started producing the 7.3 gssoline V-8 engine.
    Is the V-10 still being produced?
  • The Godzilla is a better engine in a lot of ways. More efficient, more power, more torque and quieter.
