2001 Ford Econoline Cargo Review

Summary

What Edmunds.com says

The Econoline is the best full-size van on the market, and when equipped with the Traveler package, makes sense as an alternative to a large SUV.

Pros

Massive cargo-hauling ability, powerful engines, wide range of configurations.

Cons

Offers very few convenience features.

What's New for 2001

2001 Econoline Vans are virtually the same as last year, with a deluxe engine cover console, a passenger-side airbag and a heavy-duty battery now being standard on all models. A Premium Van Package has been added for commercial vans. Recreational vans can be ordered with a CD-equipped stereo.
