2000 Ford Econoline Wagon 2 Dr E-150 XLT Passenger Van

Review

We have our 4th E-150 on order. It's a truck, don't expect sports car handling or mini car gas milege, but is very quiet. The only unexpected repair for 3 vans has been a power steering pump that leaked and had to be replaced. The 5.4 L pulls everything and holds 6 or more bikes behind the third seat(we mountain bike and camp) if you have 3 or more kids, travel alot, and take everything with you, you can not beat it.

Favorite Features

capacity, quiet, reliability

Bad Steering, very bad brakes, very bad front end, dumb dealer repairs, bad Ford feedback, low qulaty assembly & parts. Won't buy again!

Wish it was like the 1970's vans, both style & build wise!!!

Suggested Improvements

Bring back good designs, confort, quality or send all your "exec's" to Chevy's junk yard!

Ford- poor quality

Review

This is our first ford and we bought it new. In its first two years, the AC system broke down five times (compressor was replaced twice, expansion valve replaced four times, electrical switch replaced, flapper door repaired), the transmission had to be rebuilt, a door latch broke, the connection between the steering column and the steering box needed replacement twice, one front seatbelt replaced, a horrendous grinding noise at start-up from the AC compressor from day one to this day (the dealer showed us a Ford service bulletin that says such a noise is normal). Other than that, the truck has been trouble free.

Favorite Features

Lots of interior room.

Suggested Improvements

Improve quality of AC system and transmission.

Ford E350 XLT V10 Super Duty Wagon

Review

I have had this van for alomst a year and a half. I am currently (10/8/02) selling it on Ebay because I am "udgrading" to a diesel Excursion. This van is perfect for everyday driving and when it's time to pull a BIG (9500 pounds) load, it is there for you with the V10. I would still keep this van if I could afford it. Overall, I would rate it an 8.

Favorite Features

V10, Mega Interior Space

Suggested Improvements

Smooth out the ride, offer 4x4 as a Factory option

Review

I have 5 kids, so the minivan was not an option. This is a tank - I have a 7.3L diesel engine in mine, which should run for a few 100,000 miles. It is great for long trips, but not something that you want to use to run back and forth to the grocery store. Take out the seats and it will carry almost anything. It does not have all the nice touches of the luxury mini- vans - it is a bus. I have not had any mechanical problems. The fit and finish are not great - since I traded in an acura on this van it took a little getting uses to the molded plastic doors and loose fitting pieces.

Favorite Features

The kids never complain of not having enough room. The separate rear control for the air conditioner.

Suggested Improvements

It needs more cup holders and rear trash holders. The middle console could have been better designed to actually be useful for storing things - it is basically just a couple of open compartments.
