Maybe the most gas thirsty vehicle

I love my new (used) van. However it is misnamed Econoline. I got the 6 cylinder to save at least a gallon or two mpg but see little difference with the more powerful V8 so consider a very thirsty 8 as the 6 is fairly underpowered up hills. Also, need winter tires if in snow or ice, worst traction of any vehicle. Typical van! I knew that going into this, so I am very happy otherwise. It's a great tool shed on wheels, and visibility and safety seems above others. Drive slow and coast (in gear) down hills and maybe gain a mile per gallon. Yet to get above 16 and half mpg even with a v6. Otherwise awesome.

Great ride! Getting 13.94mpg at 250K+ miles and only after that point did I replace the starter, radio, blower motor (probably because I run it full-blast all the time), and the battery for only the second time since new. It does also need a windshield which I hear don't last long, and there are things that are showing wear. HOWEVER, it has run smooth since day one and the big stuff is durable. The stuff that has been replaced is cheap and EASY to replace which is important because it'll save you labor at the mechanic shop. I'm looking to buy a second one now because I like this one so much. UPDATE: 9.9.21: 278K miles, still runs silky smooth. UPDATE: 3.12.22: 292K miles and climbing, no issues. UPDATE: 9.14.22: 302K miles, driven daily, no issues. UPDATE: 3.18.24: 334K miles, lots of small wear issues came up that were repaired or replaced but the drive train is still solid and original. Runs great.

I have 350k miles...and runs like a new vehicle, keep oil changed, keep tires up to right air pressure. Keep radiator flushed every 30kmiles...change Tran fluid every 40k miles, keep breaks good...keep all parts lubed where accessible.....do all this.and you will get 1million miles out of it

I purchased a 2004 E250 Cargo van in 2006 when I began my mobile automotive repair business. It had 29K miles when I bought it. I used it daily and it was very reliable. 3 years of hard driving and it only needed brakes, oil changes, wiper blades and a drive belt. Unfortunately, I was involved in a head on collision and the van was totaled with 60K miles. I walked away from the accident with a broken bone in my foot, and torn ligaments as well, but otherwise intact. They are great vans and I highly recommend them and a bulkhead if you are carrying tools.
