Here's what I've been able to find in Ford's fleet document:
-There is no 2020 E-series. Instead, they will have an early release of the 2021 model.
-Production starts in January.
-The 7.3L will come in both an "Economy" calibration, and a "Premium" calibration. I suspect the economy calibration will match the numbers for the current 6.2L in the E-series (330 horsepower). Or maybe be better still, otherwise they'd just keep the 6.2L option like they are in the F-series. So the Premium calibration has potential to be quite a bit more powerful than the V10.
-The 2021 E-series does NOT get the 10-speed. It gets the 6-speed still. I'm hoping it won't take long for the 10-speed to get added.
-Dual alternators (240 + 157 amp) are optional
-The instrument cluster and steering wheel finally get updated to current F-series spec. Which means they are also adding Emergency Brake Assist, Lane departure warning, adaptive cruise, TPMS etc.
