  Ford E-150 Chatuea - 2002 Ford Econoline Wagon
  By JK - November 30 - 2:00 am

  I think this is a better vehicle than the GMs. Especially for the money. However, I highly recommend you go with a quality conversion. The conversion industry is on its head, and for $3,000 - $7,000 more than factory you can get an awesome highway beast.

  Loving the Travler Package - 2002 Ford Econoline Wagon
  By tripping_in_virginia - January 13 - 10:00 am

  We have had mini-vans and sedans. Looked at SUVs for the extra space but found the full-size Traveler package fo the Ford van beats everything hands down on space and the basic comforts now offered in travler packages like video, game plug in ports, reclining buckets for all four passangers up front, leather seats and lots and lots of cargo room. Plus the baby can haul any camper or boat you may wish to pull down the highway. We are very budget minded so one way to offset the fuel economy issue is that we use this for our only vehicle. It has handled very nicely around town and obviously excels on the open road.

  Killer Traveler Van - 2002 Ford Econoline Wagon
  By suburbank2500 - January 24 - 10:00 am

  This van is my daily commuter; Its got the Traveller package, and the kid quiet option (2 screens with a VCP). Ive always been get the bigger motor but the 289 (4.6L) v8 is just fine. I get about 20-21 on highway, 15-17 mixed. the ONLY thing is its a rear wheel driver, so Ill have to retrain myself for winter. Dont waste your money on some tinny, mini-van. They dont have nearly the room and cost about $2-$3K more

  Not a Good Buy - 2002 Ford Econoline Wagon
  By Irony - November 18 - 10:00 am

  I have replaced the front brakes including rotors every 3 months approx. 3000-4000 miles. Ford told me this was normal wear for this vehicle. The price to have this done at a Ford Dealer averages $800. The tires wear out quickly on this Van as well.

  Red Ford E150 - 2002 Ford Econoline Wagon
  By Jim - September 27 - 10:43 pm

  We bought this van in winter of 2004 as mainly, a people carrier as there was only a short commute back then. but this van quickly turned into a mainly all purpose car, groceries, long cross-country trips, towing, you name it. For such a giant of a car, it handles well in the (Its not a Subaru) and when we moved and the work commute turned into a hour long one to Chicago, it served very well, although the MPG it delivers convinced us to get a 2007 Toyota Prius. We have logged 111,000 miles on it but with the exception of a starting problem (cant start if the engine is too warm sometimes)we hope to get years more out of it, and has been very reliable. Save your money, I suggest! Get a Ford

  ford van - 2002 Ford Econoline Wagon
  By wriddle - December 11 - 2:00 am

  nice van, mediocre fuel economy, very comfortable, minor build quality issues which have been corrected under warranty. would definitely buy another one when this one wears out. 5.4 engine is the way to go.
