Fun video from TFL - 2020 7.3 and Ford Chassis

In this video they drag race the old V-10 vs the new 7.3 in motorhomes. But the more important thing is the tuning Ford did to the F-53 Chassis with bigger sway bars to make the motorhome drive better. They also drive Box Trucks.

I would be interested in seeing the new 7.3 Godzilla engine in the 33' Class "C" motorhomes.

Anyway enjoy.

That's great!! Also really expensive.... pretty much convinced me that if/when I go to a class A gasser it needs to be the new engine and chassis.

As impressive as the power looks, the stability is what seems to be the biggest improvement. Watching the old and new MHs going through the cones it's hard to believe they were going the same speed. The old one looked like it was going to tip over and the new one didn't seem to roll at all. I'm thinking this new chassis is going to eliminate a lot of handling complaints that have plagued the F53.
