WHEELCHAIR LIFT

"I have driven this van for 10 years. Very reliable I bought and had a wheelchair lift and tie downs put in so I could take my mom in it. Only draw back is gas mileage but gets about 18 on highway which isn't too bad for a big box."

Huge capacity with some electrical issues

By Van Guy (IL) on Monday, December 19, 2011

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 165,000

Pros: "Huge space. Decent comfort for truck type vehicle."

Cons: "15 mpg. Door hinges weak. Rear drive in snow ."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Decent...my 4th Ford full size van. Comfy seats and smooth and steady at speeds up to 75 mph. Consistent 15 mpg. Huge space and loading ability. I baby it, but door hinges sagging a bit already. Door lock switches and windows act up on occasion. Eats front ball joints, as factory ones have no grease zerks. New ones installed at 75K have them. Uses no oil yet, but front tires wear fast. Better in snow with some extra weight. Extra load passenger tires give a better ride than LT tires. My fourth one, so I guess I'm happy overall. Quiet engine for a truck. USA made."

The E350 Super Duty Van is the best "work truck"

By gsthiel (CA) on Sunday, March 31, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 285,000

"The E350 Super Duty Turbo Diesel van is the best "work truck" I've ever owned. Granted, there are things to be said about a tail gate and a bed, the E350 Super Duty Turbo Diesel with a rack and tow package hauls and transports loads, is nimble, swift, manuvers and parks well. the E350 can be used for a multitude of trades and services."

This van is by far THE BEST vehicle I've ever had

By y2khonorsgrad (TX) on Monday, January 09, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 200,000

Pros: "Low cost of ownership, extremely reliable."

Cons: "Many parking spaces for small cars not vans."

"Besides normal tune-up, tires, brakes, belts, and hoses; this Ford E150 passenger van far exceeded the reliability of any other vehicle I have ever owned; and I have owned over 30 in my 42 years of driving! Only an ignition switch during warrantee and one alternator was required in addition. I bought the van in 2004 when it was a year old with only 20k on it for my wife. We have gone on many trips of several hundred miles with little or no vehicle prep, other than 5k oil changes. She enjoyed the excellent 360 degree visibility from a higher seating, plus the short hood for seeing around things blocking her normal view at driveways. The dual air worked great in the scorching Texas summer heat and has never required additional service. The mileage was surprising for the 5.4L V8; she was able to get 19 mpg where I only got 16 mpg. With right at 200k hard miles it has begun to have some slight mechanical noises; normal, I guess, for the hard life it has endured, but I can't complain for the lack of expenses for 180k miles we have driven it."
