1994 Ford Econoline E-150 review from North America
"A stylish reliable bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A vacuum lever broke on the rear heater causing the heater duct to remain open at all times. This part was easy to replace and cost around $20.00.
One stud bolt connecting the air intake manifold to the engine rusted through causing coolant to leak through the bolt from the engine. This was a major concern until I found it and replaced the bolt with a new one ($1.96 at Ford) and I have never had a problem with it since!
General comments?
I have owned this van for only 2 years, but I have put 41,000 miles on it. I fell in love with the van's good looks (I have the Chateau version) immediately.
I have been very impressed with performance from the 351 V-8. It is fast, both at start, highway passing speeds, and top speeds. The transmission shifts wonderfully and the paint and interior are beautiful.
I am impressed by a van with this many original miles yet with such reliability and power. I routinely take this van for trips of up to 2000 miles without the slightest concern and gas mileage is consistently 16 mpg.
The interior is comfortable and allows passage from front to back easily with its four captain chairs and rear bench seat. This is a great van for a family with children as it is very convenient to seat and unseat kids. The van has easy access in the middle with two swing-out side doors instead of the traditional sliding door.
I recommend this van for anyone looking for reliable, roomy, and stylish transportation.
