Ford Econoline Van, The Total Utility Van
What is a van? A van is a vehicle that is commonly and mostly
used to transport goods, cargo, and people of course.
Oftentimes, it is like a container truck however a van's size is
much smaller. Also, these often come as a rather box-shaped
vehicle that is like larger automobiles. However, it is much
taller and usually higher off the ground. But there are also
smaller vans but still serve the same function as the usual
vans.
One of the vehicles that fall into this category is the Ford
Econoline Van. This vehicle has been built to haul and tow just
about everything and anything. Of course, just like any van, it
has been crafted with roomy and spacious interiors that could
transport cargo and passengers. Since rolling off the Ford Motor
Company's manufacturing plants, the Ford Econoline Van has
certainly earned a good reputation as a van and as a vehicle.
Sales numbers show that this vehicle has certainly been a steady
bestseller for over 25 years, since the year 1961, and is still
counting. It is also popularly dubbed as the Ford E-Series. The
entire line up for this vehicle make is composed of full size
vans. Upon its first public appearance, it was introduced with
different versions which included the cargo version, the
passenger version, and the pickup truck version. Each of these
trim levels came with a powerful inline-type engine with six
cylinders.
At present, the Ford Econoline Vans are sold in two varieties
which comprise of the E-150 and the E-350. These varieties are
available in body styles that include a wagon and a chateau. The
wagons are offered in the XL and the XLT trim levels and come
with either the regular length or the extended length option.
The extended vehicles share the same wheelbase measurement
however what differs is that the extended ones come 20 inches
longer in its total body length. As for the engine options of
the Ford Econoline Vans, there is a 4.6 liter V8 engine, a 5.4
liter V8 engine, a 6.0 liter V8 engine, as well as a 6.8 liter
V10 engine. All the vehicles in this line up come equipped with
four speed automatic transmission units.
The Ford Econoline Vans has been a favorite for many people who
choose vehicles which could transport and carry groups of people
and cargo as well as hold the capacity for towing and hauling.
Through the years, this vehicle has undergone various changes
and redesigns to give it a more sophisticated and comfortable
appeal inside and out. Aside from that, the Ford Econoline Vans
