Our 2007 Ford E350 with the 6.8L-V10 engine has the 5-speed TorqShift transmission which was installed in all E350/E450s from 2006 to 2016. Starting this year 2017, Ford installs a new 6-speed transmission in their DRW cut-away E350/E450. It offers better performance & behavior, and "Maybe" a ~10% improvement in fuel economy. If it is all true, I'd love that transmission.
