Ford product schedules are really messed up. (Retiree, IMHO, Mark Fields let things slide because they were making money. Jim Hacket, with Billy Ford's blessing, wants to "catch up" on hybrids, BEVs and autonomous. Everything else seems to have gone back burner.)
The new engine (>7.0L and naturally aspirated) is built off of the current 6.2L (with many updates) and is aimed squarely at the Super Duty (F250-F450) and Medium Duty (F650-F750 plus bus and motor home chassis) markets. Likely it will make the 2019MY in all of the above.
Ford is also rumored to be working on an 8-10 speed RWD transmission to replace the 6R140 in the same trucks, but I have heard even less about that.
