On paper the new pushrod 7.3L V8 should be quite an improvement over the V10. However, as with any new design, there are risks.
Ford is betting big time on this new engine by installing on trucks from F-250 up to F-750. Personally, after owning two V10s I’m willing to take a chance on the new more-powerful V8 provided someone builds a decent motorhome on its chassis.
For now larger trucks and motorhomes will continue to have the 6R140. Ford is introducing 10-speed version (10R140 ????) on pickups and smaller trucks.
