1990 Ford Econoline E-150 review from North America
"A high quality van that is excellent for touring or for a large family"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator was replaced at 103K miles.
General comments?
Seats are really comfortable.
Fold down bed in the back is large enough to sleep two people, and I am able to lie comfortably, despite being 6'4" in height.
Power steering is very light, and though the van looks big, it is a dream to maneuver.
Fuel consumption is supposedly 13 miles per gallon city / 17 miles per gallon highway, on the day it rolled off the factory floor, but we are getting 16 miles per gallon city / 20 miles per gallon highway. We attribute this to proper maintenance of the vehicle, since it has had regular oil changes from the day of purchase, and tyre inflation has always been optimal.
