I’ve read that FORD will continue the E SERIES cutaway at least until ’20 so it’s anyone’s guess what they’ll do after that. They just started offering the 6.2L V8 as an alternative to the long proven 6.8L V10 which apparently is going to be replaced by a 7.0L V8 in a few years in other FORD trucks. So it’s going to be interesting if they’ll have a heavier TRANSIT 450/550 or just have the modified F series SUPERDUTY. FORD is rather vague at this point.

Any idea how much longer Ford will offer the E-450 cutaway?
