I was disappointed at the carrying capacity and the length motorhome that could be built on Sprinter. Surely Ford Transit would be better. NOPE! Smaller, lighter MoHo's being offered on the Ford. So now what?
Ford is continuing to build the E450 cutaway chassis which is pretty much the industry standard in Class C. They have, quietly, upgraded the engine and transmission. Besides the old V10 you can get the 6.2L V8 and the standard transmission is now the same 6 speed used in the F450 and up pickups.
