Both the F53 and E-Series Class C chassis still show only the 6 speed transmission.
And a detuned 7.3 that is essentially not any better than the outgoing 6.2. The 7.3 has 35 less hp and 30 ftlbs more tq.
Yet you can get a full power 7.3 10 speed in a F550 or F600.
Heck, the Transits will even spank the E series RVs with an Eco boost and a 10 speed.
If you get a regular E series cutaway you can get a full power 7.3 though. Just the RV/bread truck options that get saddled with the inferior drivetrain.
Very well laid out towing guide though!
