Ford V10 vs Pending V8
I understand Ford has developed a 7.3 liter (IIRC) V8 as a replacement for the 6.8 Liter V10 that has been around for some time. I've also been told the 2021 model Motorhomes come out in March, 2021....

Just a word of caution from an ex Ford employee. Years ago it was usually a bad idea to buy the first generation of anything new. I'm not saying Ford hasn't improved over the years, but, IMO, it's a good idea to let Ford work the bugs out. (in the field) Time eventually heals almost everything. Think: popping spark plugs on the first gen V10. Failed COP coil packs. Timing chain tensioners. Phasers. The list goes on. Etc., Etc., Etc.

Great advice and true. If you look at most new products be it auto's or cell phones etc. The consumers are the test pilots and the manufacturers learn from true life use.
Now, I'm not sure of how different these engines would be than what they have manufactured before or is the idea of having a V-8 in a motor home something new to them.
If a buyer is wondering if fuel mileage will increase I honestly doubt it.If it does it will be a small increase.
I find it amusing that a friends 42 foot Entegra bus gets the same MPG as my 29 foot Cambria.
Fun costs money, and I gladly pay it.
