Fun Facts
The Ford V10 used here is often called the 'Modular' engine and is related to the V8 found in Mustangs. These buses are the primary choice for 'Skoolie' conversions into tiny homes because of their flat interior floors. Unlike the E-Series vans, the cutaway chassis version still stays in production even after the Transit took over the van market.
