Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Massive cargo-hauling ability, wide range of configurations, powerful diesel engine option.
Cons
- Offers very few convenience features, aged design, gas-powered V8 engines can't match strength of GM's offerings.
What’s new
Changes this year are limited to minor transmission and interior trim revisions. All engines now feature electronic throttle control.
Edmunds says
Although the option of a powerful diesel helps in the engine department, the E-Series is still a relic compared to the recently revamped full-size vans from GM.

2003 Ford Econoline Cargo E-250 3dr Ext Van (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
I bought this van over a year ago with 330,000 miles on it, its the ext. 3/4 ton version with a 4.6l. I was skeptical at first but for $1500 I figured it was worth a shot. We drive it everywhere, its been on several 6-8 hours trips. I use it to haul Mx bikes to the races. The 4.6l gets around 16-17 mpg on the highway fully loaded which is 4 bikes, 4 guys and all of our gear for a … weekend of racing and riding. If you need something to haul stuff, this is it. Find one that was well maintained and you can't go wrong.

2003 Ford Econoline Cargo E-150 3dr Van (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
After one month of ownership I am very
happy with my new van. Very well built,
extremely quiet, even more quiet then
my 1997 Chevy Cavilier was. Handles
like a dream with excellent visiblity
and a solid braking when needed. I
bought this van remembering how much
fun I had owning a 78 Ford van years
ago. It's big, it's comfortable and I
feel very safe in it.
Over $400 to replace spark plugs

2003 Ford Econoline Cargo E-350 SD 3dr Van (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
This is a strong well-made van, but Ford engineering can make a problem a very expensive repair. It cost me over $400 to have the spark plugs changed, $700 to replace the fuel pump. But overall, it is a comfortable van that carries a lot of cargo, and is fairly quick with the 5.4 engine while getting an average of 17-18 mpg highway.
The cruise was not working intermittently. "Could be a … lot of things" they said,"bring it in". But first I went on youtube for answers. I learned it might be the sensor on the bottom of the master cylinder. A 30 dollar fix, easy do it yourself and now it works again. The van is now 15 years old, still going strong and dependable at 180,000.
Dold it, it was purring like a kitten ss the guy drove it away.
