Review

All my driving is in town which is much harder on vehicle than highway. I have had only one problem in 8 years, a sensor failed under warranty. The electric mirrors are flimsy and could use improvement. The rear suspension (8600 lb.) is a little overrated as the springs have been flattened since I first loaded it up with all my tools. The paint on the bumpers is very poor quality. Since I have no repair costs except for one brake pad replacement on the front, and the routine fluid and filter changes I would say it is very dependable. I have never had it tuned up yet. It handles very well at highway speeds is very quiet. I have always been GM fan but I am impressed with this van.

Best Features

Style and appearance of body. Power for a 5.4L engine. Comfort of seats.

Worst Features

Electric mirror stability. Paint on bumpers. Springs and chassis have excessive rusting. Inside latch on rear doors, I caught it on my tool belt and broke it. Flimsy.

Review

I have been driving Ford Trucks for
many years after being forced to drive
chevy's for most of my life, and
without question, Ford Trucks are
unmatched in quality and durabilility.
When you drive one you can feel how
strong it really is. I have had to
replace my brakes once in 100,000 miles
at 70,000 miles along with the original
tires. My maintenance has been Oil
Changes and a tune up at 60,000. I have
spent less than $1000 in 6 years. How
many Dodge or Chevy owners can say that!

Best Features

Built for work, Hard work!

Worst Features

Exterior redesign is over due, even though components have continued to get better.
