We are a 2000 F53 and I would consider that an "older" unit as it is now 14 year old. I guess it's all what we each consider as older/newer.
Not exactly. Ford introduced the
NEWER 1999 model year F53 chassis in 1998 with V10 and 4R100 transmission. NO 1998 model year chassis was made. All previous chassis had a 460 V8 with E4OD transmissions. There was engine and transmission improvements in the 2006 model year chassis. No 2005 model year chassis made.
So, all 1999 model year chassis and later are considered the new F53 chassis with wider wheel base, improved load capacity and improved drive train.
