It won't increase the capacity, but anything that assists carrying the load will in the end help extend its life

Ford didn't say no, they said we don't see a market for it. If the diesel buzz continues, it's a lock. It'll drop right in and it's already certified.

You'll be eating shoe in the 2017 model year

I'm aware of what it's about and just like aluminum and the ten speed automatic the I5 diesel is likely to show up in the volume model first and then be a fleet order option only, makes lots of sense. Lots of road crews still running the 7.3. And the I5 numbers are about where the legendary 7.3 topped out at An engine…

There's a 3.2 I5 that ford has for its cab forward trucks and the new transit that's already certified, I could see that it would be extremely popular with fleets, also ten speed and 3.2 diesel sounds great in a f-150 long lasting diesel engine and aluminum rust free truck, yes please...

helper Springs and air bags will... Help. Yeah the 2500 have been scarce on the ground always and I suspect that it's one of the reasons that the resale of the gas powered excursion stays so high.

This is the first and most important rule of owning an rv, no dumps in the chemical toilet.... Ever.

These come with the 3.0 v6..which is a piece of shit

Then be a big boy and step up to a suburban 2500 with the 7.4 or 8.1 big block. 12,000 lbs all day long.

crackpipe, these things can be had for $3,000 or less all day long. Because you have to be an idiot to drive a motor home with 150hp, these things are about as fast as my grandmother having relations, a danger to yourself and everyone else on the highway

You bought this craptastic crap can instead of an m35a2 with 8 wheel drive and an allison automatic and a cummins engine for 8-10k? I am dissapoint!

If I didn't know any better I'd say that gm has a vendetta against diesels, they built the two worst ever the 5.7 and the 6.5 the Detroit diesel 6.2 was a turd too in their vehicles.

... I just might do that, there's plenty fusos around in delivery service

America, where we don't like our legs being an integral part of the front crumple zone.

Not happening, it it was never written down there's no information to be released

Aurora and whatever were flying now that's 3 generations past it made the sr71 obsolete

if they had went balls out they would have got there in about 45 minutes or less. AFAIK the top speed is unofficially mach 3.8+

incorrect, they will remain as long as they are ordered. It's a pure profit vehicle the tooling was paid off before I was born. As good as the transit is the e series is Still better when it comes to armored trucks and ambulances and road service and tool and box trucks you see on construction sites.

It's still being made in Kansas e-350 and e-450

it's built in the old e series factory in Lorain Ohio, plenty around.
