That is good. The 6-speed TorqShift is used only on the F250 in 2020 so perhaps that indicates a fit issue in the E350/E450
From this video, i'm not sure it's a fitment issue. https://youtu.be/sD_1CFr2lAg?t=114
I suspect it might have more to do with 1) vehicle configuration (3rd overdrive probably won't be beneficial in a full-profile vehicle) 2) driveline and axle limitations (because the greater torque multiplication of the 10R140 would probably damage the current driveline and differential).
That said... it would be nice if they went back up to a 11.25" ring gear in the E450, like some had for the first couple years. Then GCWRs could go up to match the new power output.
