truck cab or van cab? I think cooling issues kept the 6.7 out of the econoline. Truck-cab class c (rare) probably use e v10 for price point.

Truck. Sales person gave me the reason but it was so long i never read all of it. I do not think cooling issues were in the reasoning however.

The 2015 KR is beautiful, i really like the new darker exterior color on the bottom but i do prefer the earlier color of the Seats (think they should have left the seats alone) & if this engine is as good as predicted i would love to have one (just dont tell my 2006...lol)

This Body is going on 15 years old. Anyone know when a redesign is slated?

Specifically, any chance of losing the upside down stacked headlights in the near future?

There is no more E-Series, production has stopped.

We will be getting the Transit as you said, and it will come optioned with a I5 turbo diesel.

Hey dude, lay off whatever it is you're on and come down off your 460 cloud.

As far as the headlights go, the 2011+ I find to be quite attractive.

If the headlight were on top instead of the bottom, My main beef would be much less of a main beef. I bleed Ford blue, but right now, GMC and Dodge headlights are much more appealing to my eye.....not enough to buy one mind you, But I will stay in my 06' until this issue changes.

Actually, the engines are exactly the same, with the same HP and TQ curves......but, a commercial engine HP ratings are measured differently, so the numbers look skewed.

They aren't, and you're not getting short changed.
