1996 Ford Econoline Conversion review from North America
"Great value if you need room for seven people and all their stuff"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed new shocks/brakes/tires after 50,000 miles.
Needed to replace the engine coolant temperature sensor.
Air pump was replaced after it got too noisy.
Needed transmission flushed due to dirty fluid after 55,000 miles.
General comments?
Good value for the size and interior space.
Slow acceleration with the 5.0 liter engine.
Poor rear visibility for city traffic, but fine for the open road.
You sit up very high, so forward visibility is great.
Mine is a conversion van, so interior has a few squeaks and rattles.
Price was far less than for a large SUV, plus more room.
