2013 Ford E-350 Super Duty

Reliability tier: verified - see /disclosure/

Engine: 5.4L V8 2V (Triton, 5.4L), 2v

The 5.4L 2V V8 was the STANDARD E-350 engine through MY2016 (the 6.8 V10 optional; from MY2017 the 6.2L Boss replaced the 5.4). 255 hp @ 4,500 / 350 lb-ft @ 2,500 (Edmunds/KBB/Ford brochure, MY2014 spec; same rating across the 2V run). 2V heads - the 3V never migrated to the E-Series. Van-body 5.4 ended with the van itself in MY2014; cutaway/strip continued to MY2016. Ford produced NO E-Series for MY2020 (Wikipedia; fact-check 23.10).
