maintenance help keep it reliable. I
have had no major probles even with the
high mileage (139,000) at time of
rating.

Tough, nice to drive, comfortable,
quiet, just about everything you would
want in a work truck. From now on I'm
a "Ford man".

1996 Ford E-250 XL Econoline 3dr Van
A great van for my business on the raod.
It weighs 7000 Lbs. loaded with all my
tools, but it hauls it day in and day
out.
I feel comfortable in it, which is
good, as I work 16 hour days some times,
It has a functional design, Very
useable intior design, and plenty of
power, which is useful for mergeing in
tight traffic. NO major problems, At
106,000 miles, only … repairs have been
the brakes.

1994 Ford E-250 Econoline 3dr Van
This vehicle is comfortable to drive.
That's about it. It has had multiple
transmission problems as well as some
engine problems. As you might expect,
it has a lot of sway when turning.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 1996 Ford E-250, so we've included reviews for other years of the E-250 since its last redesign.
