Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Massive people-hauling and cargo-toting ability, powerful engines, wide range of configurations, comfortable seats.

Cons

Trucklike fuel economy, unwieldy size, limited second-row legroom, lots of wind noise.

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 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.

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 …

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!
