Review

From the day I purchased this vehicle, the idiot lights malfunctioned and once a year I have to replace the windshield due to defect in design. It has a lot of pep still at over 300,000 miles and it is still used daily. No major problems to date other than regular maintenance.

Favorite Features

None

Suggested Improvements

4 wheel disc brakes, better (wider) rear cargo doors, not like the chevy or GM though, they have a very poor design.

Review

Having been a van owner since 1973, this vehicle -by far- is the best full size van I've ever owned. There is no better vehicle for traveling. The van has incredible load capacity and passenger room. The 4 captain's chairs provide the type of comfort one needs for long distance traveling as well as the ease of getting in and out of the van. Rear heat/AC controls provide the back seat passengers with full control to their liking. The AM/FM/Cassette with 6 speakers distribut the sound beautifully. Being able to move between front and back as full sized adults is an excellent attribute when traveling as well.

Favorite Features

Removable seats, large passenger compartment, 4 reclining captain's chairs with arm rests, 5.4L V8 with cruise control, large console, remote control door locks

Suggested Improvements

Paint is peeling from roof/top. Ford has an ongoing Class Action Suit for this problem.
