2025 Ford E-Series Cutaway

Under the hood, every 2025 E-Series Cutaway comes standard with a 7.3-liter V8 (gasoline) engine, often referred to as the “Premium-rated” V8. It produces approximately 325 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque at around 3,750 rpm. This engine is paired with a Ford TorqShift six-speed automatic transmission with Tow/Haul mode to help manage load, grade, and stop-and-go situations.

For businesses in Lititz, that means you’ll have enough muscle for heavier loads, such as larger equipment or full upfits, while still maintaining control and efficiency on local routes. The powertrain is also built for durability to endure frequent use—an important factor in Lancaster County’s mixed terrain and variable weather. In configurations like the E-450 DRW, you get a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) up to 14,500 lbs and a maximum payload (minus body weight) up to about 8,980 lbs, depending on wheelbase and options.

Safety is increasingly important for commercial operators, and Ford has equipped the 2025 E-Series Cutaway with an array of both standard and available driver assistance technologies. Standard features include traction control and electronic stability control to help maintain stability in adverse weather or when dealing with uneven loads.

On the optional side, the Driver-Assist Technology Package offers enhanced systems: adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, distance alert or indication, lane departure warning, post-collision braking, and auto high-beam headlamps. These features are especially useful for drivers in Lititz who may encounter rural roads, changing light conditions, or highway travel, helping reduce driver fatigue and improve safety over long or repetitive drives.

The 2025 E-Series Cutaway is offered in three main model configurations: E-350 Single Rear Wheel (SRW), E-350 Dual Rear Wheel (DRW), and E-450 DRW. The single-rear-wheel model is great for lighter duty work where maneuverability, lower cost, and moderate payload suffice. The dual rear wheel versions offer greater stability, higher payload, and more capability when you need to carry heavier loads or mount larger bodies.

Wheelbase options include 138 in, 158 in, and 176 in, with corresponding variations in GVWR and payload. For example, the E-350 DRW with a 158-inch wheelbase can have a GVWR up to 12,500 lbs and a payload (minus body weight) of around 7,200 lbs under some build configurations. Meanwhile, the E-450 DRW configuration delivers the highest rated capacity—GVWR up to 14,500 lbs and payload close to 9,000 lbs depending on setup. Also, Ford includes multiple upfit prep-packages (such as motorhome, shuttle bus, ambulance, school bus, etc.) plus factory-integrated upfitter switches. These options help businesses in Lititz customize the Cutaway for specific purposes without having to modify basic electrical systems later.
