The Ford Authority Take

Ford E-Series sales posted a modest uptick during the second quarter of 2023 as industrywide supply chain issues continue to ease across the board. Continued improved supply at the dealer level has put sales in the green once again last quarter, as FoMoCo is no longer forced to navigate constraints.

Looking ahead, the 2024 Ford E-Series promises minor changes, such as dropping its Economy tune for the naturally-aspirated Ford 7.3L V8 Godzilla engine. Moving forward, the E-Series will offer just one calibration, with an output of 325 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, as its flex fuel capability option has also been eliminated from the lineup. Ford Authority has already spotted a prototype a potential refreshed model out and about, showing off a revised front grille with a vertical element in the middle, along with a refreshed front bumper cover.
