2003 Ford Econoline Cargo Review

Summary

What Edmunds.com says

Buying a commercial van for business use is easy. Pick from Dodge, Ford or General Motors. The E-Series is now a decade old in terms of design and engineering, but it remains competitive. If Ford can outfit one they way you want, there's no reason to look elsewhere.

Pros

Massive cargo-hauling ability, wide range of configurations.

Cons

Offers very few convenience features, engines can't match power of GM's offerings.

What's New for 2003

For 2003, all vans get power exterior mirrors, and you can get a deluxe set of mirrors with puddle lamps as an option. Additionally, you can select an optional sliding side cargo door in lieu of the standard hinged side doors. Other changes include new cloth headliners, a few new interior and exterior color choices and a new grille with an integrated blue oval emblem.
