Review

All my driving is in town which is much harder on vehicle than highway. I have had only one problem in 8 years, a sensor failed under warranty. The electric mirrors are flimsy and could use improvement. The rear suspension (8600 lb.) is a little overrated as the springs have been flattened since I first loaded it up with all my tools. The paint on the bumpers is very poor quality. Since I have no repair costs except for one brake pad replacement on the front, and the routine fluid and filter changes I would say it is very dependable. I have never had it tuned up yet. It handles very well at highway speeds is very quiet. I have always been GM fan but I am impressed with this van.

Favorite Features

Style and appearance of body. Power for a 5.4L engine. Comfort of seats.

Suggested Improvements

Electric mirror stability. Paint on bumpers. Springs and chassis have excessive rusting. Inside latch on rear doors, I caught it on my tool belt and broke it. Flimsy.

Review

I have been driving Ford Trucks for many years after being forced to drive chevy's for most of my life, and without question, Ford Trucks are unmatched in quality and durabilility. When you drive one you can feel how strong it really is. I have had to replace my brakes once in 100,000 miles at 70,000 miles along with the original tires. My maintenance has been Oil Changes and a tune up at 60,000. I have spent less than $1000 in 6 years. How many Dodge or Chevy owners can say that!

Favorite Features

Built for work, Hard work!

Suggested Improvements

Exterior redesign is over due, even though components have continued to get better.
