Awesome American van
Nothing major has gone wrong. Just regular wear and tear.
Brakes, tires, belt tension, etc.
Very, very reliable and dependable van.
Lots of room for storage.

A great American workhorse!
Starter replaced at 126,000.
Coil on number 4 cylinder. Replaced at 135,000.
We use Ford Cargo vans for pick-ups around town lugging medical equipment. We currently own 3 Ford Cargo Vans, and they are all extremely reliable.
The gas mileage ranges from 13-16 MPG, depending on driver / traffic.
The drivers seat is comfortable if equipped with armrests, otherwise - not so great. I never understood why Ford could not put a glove box in the cab, but the center console will do.
We run Hankook tires and have found them to be the best fit for the Ford vans, as well as Motorcraft spark plugs and Mobil 1 synthetic oil.
We plan on adding more vehicles to our fleet, and they will be Fords.

I love this car
Spark plug blew out.
Rotor had a crack.
This car does not do good in snow - very slow to stop.
It is very comfortable riding van, especially with a lot of people.
It handles well off road.

Please, I just want to know if the Ford Econoline 250 1997 model is good to use as a commercial vehicle for the transportation of people?
