Ford E-350/E-450 change not mentioned...

This was a few months ago, but Ford did a change for their 2017 model year E-350 and E-450 cutaways. There is no 5.4 engine anymore. You get a V-10 across all the Econoline line now.

All and all, this is a good thing, JMHO. One less engine variation, and I've seen some those engines take extreme abuse and neglect and still keep on going.

The V10 is still being used in the F450/550 cab/chassis trucks.

The 5.4 V8 and V10 were both replaced by the 6.2 V8 in F250/350 pickups and F350 cab/chassis trucks, starting in 2011 or 2012 model year.

I recall the F59 commercial stripped chassis still uses the 5.4 standard. (V10 is optional there, standard in the F53 MH chassis.)

I wonder when Ford will come out with the T-450 and T-550. Not sure what engine they would use, although an EcoBoost V-8 would be nice.

One less engine Ford has to assemble. Once the Transit came out, the E-series cutaway was the only platform left using the 5.4 and 6.8 Triton engines. All other truck series had moved on to a new line of V8 engines (or V6 Ecoboost) that did not fit in the E-series.

Most of the 5.4 E-350 cutaways were going to a (non-RV) market that has moved on to the Transit platform now that a T-series cutway is available in the E-350 GVWR range. Transit and Sprinter are almost the only game in town, as Express cutaways have been unavailable for almost two years now.

So far no complaints on the v-10 in our 2016 E-450 chassis; but its only a month old with 900 miles on it.
