V-10
Can anyone tell me for sure year Ford came with the higher horsepower engine. I think 07 or 08.

It was 2006. But a motorhome could be built on a 2005 chassis and be titled 2006. Double check the Vin number to make sure it is 362 HP vs 310. Free Vin decoders can be search on the internet.
Ford didn't make a 2005 F53 chassis. They extended the 2004 model into January of 2006. Then they changed the model year designation to 2006 and started putting in the 362 hp, 457 ft., lb., torque, 3 valve per cylinder version of the V10. From 2000 to 2005 they used the 310 hp., 425 ft.lb., 2 valve per cylinder version of the V10. The 1999 model (first year for the V10 in the F53 motorhome chassis) they used a 275 hp. version of the V10.
There are probably a dozen different versions of the V10 used in all kinds of applications since 1996. The only versions used in the F53 chassis are the 275 hp, 310 hp, and the 362 hp.
