I've had this van for a month and can't imagine why anyone would buy it with any other option out there. It rides like a covered wagon, has no nice options, can't get in without opening the drivers side first and then hit the button....even to get in the rear cargo area. I will be getting rid of it and would tell anyone to buy anything but this. The gas mileage is horrible and it rides like it's 10 years old.

Vehicle has performed as well as the 2000 Windstar it replaced but with more power for trailer-pulling and better fuel economy.Rear door rattles and front door mis-alignment were corrected by dealer. Very stable on highway; excellent visibility. Easy to lower rear seat to carry longer cargo.

Not as refined as others but tough as nails.

My company (land surveying) purchased the base cargo version of this van new as a field vehicle. I’ve maintained it since new. I acquired it when operations shut down because of COVID. It has plenty of power until you hit highway speeds but is adequate then as well. This van has been put through the wringer, well maintained but always carrying a lot of weight and constantly being started and stopped, driven over rough ground, short drives, opening and closing the doors all the time, you name it. I have severely overloaded it with bags of concrete for home renovation projects, etc.. It never complains. I wouldn’t hesitate to use it for taxi service, construction, or something like that. It is not as refined as other minivans from the same era, but part of that is probably because it is the cargo version. (No seats in the back, less sound deadening.) I really can’t complain about it otherwise. It has had a few issues over the years such as a bad coil pack, a few vacuum leaks, ABS sensors get dirty and throw codes sometimes. All minor. It is the perfect vehicle for me because I am doing major renovations on my home. I can fit just about anything I need in it and it is way more convenient than a pickup, because of the side doors and the low floor height. It seems very safe as well, being solidly built. I’m very happy with it. Also, considering that the newest ones are are 14 years old now, I see a surprising number of them still on the road. I’m very happy with it. Maybe not the best car to go on a date in, but that is what my other car is for.

I drive a company issued 3.9L cargo with maybe 200 pounds of extra weight in the rear. The driving dynamics are odd to say the least. It tends to stay on center, but it does not like to turn. The ride is smooth, but noisy. Combined gas mileage is 20 MPG, which is not too much of an improvement coming from a full size Ford E250 with 5.4L V8 that got 14 MPG on average. On quality, they painted the hood support rod to the hood and paint was damaged. At least I won't see it that often.

Have one van with about 240,000 miles and works great, has the 4.2L, 2006 sel and have pulled about 5,000 behind this van , was not that happy pulling that much but have pulled lots of trailer loads and is still running good, second van we bought with about 156,500 miles and came with totally bad transmission, I rebuilt it and that is a supper smooth van now. Good car.
