I strongly suspect the 6.2L will be de-rated for the E450, to meet the MDT duty-cycle testing. Also, it will the "base" motor when it comes out, with the V10 still being the optional motor with the highest capacity. The GCWR of the 6.2L is 17,000 (or 17,500) in the E-series vs 22,000 for the V10.
Very interesting ! I don'y know that it will be de-rated, but like the use of the 6.2L vs the 6.8L in the F-series, GCWR limited the "Boss" to the lower end of the scale. The 6.2L should provide better fuel economy.
