We stayed in touch with the Thor plant to be able to “pull the trigger” on our recent new purchase to get a E450 chassis on the first batch of the 2017 Axis 25.2 models. (Ours does have a 2016 VIN E450 chassis on a 2017 VIN 25.2 Coach.)
So there will be some new 2016s and some new 2017s with E450s and some with E350s. However, I’m led to believe they are going back to E350s on the 2017 models. Hope this helps.

Wow! That is really interesting and good information to know if you are in the market for a 2017. I have a 2016 Axis 24.1 on a 450 chassis and I can tell the difference in ride and steering from my 2014 Vegas 24.1. I like the 450 and would look hard to get one, if I were in the market for. 2017. There had also been some discussion about the possibility of the Ford V-8 showing up in the 350/450 line in 2017 or 2018. That will also be something to watch for.
