What’s new
Ford's Econoline (E-Series) van gets few changes for 2004. A Chateau model is added to the lineup, whereas it was previously only an option package. Aluminum 16-inch wheels are available on all Econolines; in fact, even the standard-issue steel wheels are 16s this year. The 4.2-liter V6 has been dropped on E-150 models, while E-350 models now offer Ford's excellent new 6.0-liter turbodiesel V8 in place of the 7.3-liter diesel. Several features from last year's Econoline have been deleted -- among these, underseat storage, the passenger-side vanity mirror, seat-mounted grab handles and overhead lighting in the second row.
Edmunds says
Although the Econoline still provides one of the most spacious interiors on the market for big families, its lack of significant upgrades leaves it a step behind GM's more modern full-size vans.

FORD 100% BETTER THAN CHEVY
JOE MASTENCIA, 12/09/2002
2002 Ford Econoline Wagon E-350 SD XLT 3dr Van (5.4L 8cyl 4A)

Killer Traveler Van
suburbank2500, 07/25/2003
2002 Ford Econoline Wagon E-150 XLT 3dr Van (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
This van is my daily commuter; It's got
the Traveller package, and the kid
quiet option (2 screens with a VCP).
I've always been 'get the bigger motor'
but the 289 (4.6L) v8 is just fine. I
get about 20-21 on highway, 15-17
mixed. the ONLY thing is it's a rear
wheel driver, so I'll have to retrain
myself for winter. Don't waste your
money on some tinny, mini-van. They …
don't have nearly the room and cost
about $2-$3K more

Great Van
Superdad, 08/02/2008
2003 Ford Econoline Wagon E-350 SD XL 3dr Van (5.4L 8cyl 4A)
This van replaced my 1999 150 van with the 4.6. It is night and day. Granted 1/2 ton to 1 ton jump but the difference was huge! I wish they made more of these in diesel. One tough van!
