2017 Ford E-350 Super Duty

Reliability tier: verified - see /disclosure/

Engine: 6.8L V10 2V (Triton, 6.8L), 2v

The 6.8L 2V V10 carried the E-350/E-450 cutaway and stripped-chassis lines after the van body ended (MY2014 was the last passenger/cargo van year; only cutaway/strip continued). Van/chassis tune 305 hp @ 4,250 / 420 lb-ft. 2V heads - the 3V never migrated to the E-Series. Engine split per Wikipedia (fact-check 23.10): through MY2016 the 5.4 2V was the STANDARD E-350 engine with the 6.8 optional (both van and cutaway bodies; the van body ended MY2014); from MY2017 the 6.8 became standard with the 6.2L Boss option; Ford produced NO E-Series for MY2020 (the model year was skipped) - the line returned MY2021 with the 7.3 Godzilla (see ford-godzilla-7_3). This config covers the optional-V10 vehicles; the standard 5.4 2V slots are separate configs.

• 2V plug maintenance: keep plugs from ejecting; know the repair path if a seat is damaged
