Overview & Reviews

Ford significantly updates its E-Series "Econoline" full-size van for the first time in years with a bold new look up front and an upgraded chassis underneath, offering improved handling and braking along with greater load-carrying capability. Extended wagons that carry up to 15 passengers feature new, more comfortable rear seats.

• Massive interior, respectable handling, available diesel V8 power, high payload capacity, extremely durable.

• Tight second-row legroom, minimal safety and convenience features, not as many configurations as Dodge Sprinter.

  Steering issues - 2008 Ford Econoline Wagon
  By Forman - June 10 - 3:16 am

  I have been driving 12 and 15 passenger vans for decades.We replaced our last 2000 Chevy 15 passenger van with the 2008 Ford E-350 15 passenger van and have had serious problems with the Ford steering and handling.The vehicle has enormous play in steering column at higher speeds on highway with significant drifting which is dangerous when passing tractor trailers. The van has been in repair shop 3-4 times (4000 miles) for steering issues and was realigned twice already. Roll Stability Control (RSC) sensors have been replaced at only 3000 miles and after replacing are defective again requiring another replacement. Plastic dashboard panel was replaced due to warping and it had only 2000 miles.

  The big box - 2008 Ford Econoline Wagon
  By William - December 2 - 1:33 pm

  I have owned many ford f350 trucks, and switched to a ford e350 van to be able to haul more people and keep my tools inside. All my trucks had problems and this van is no different. The trim was falling apart and making noise, the transmission overdrive went out, and now the fan motor has lost one of its four speeds. I bought it when gas was outrageous and saved a load of money, which I will use to put in some real seats, and have some of the ultra cheap interior plastic panels replaced. If you need a big hauler and lots of space then go for it. Past history has shown me after some very troubling problems, eventually everything gets fixed for free by ford and then you are good to go.

  Room for Everyone! - 2008 Ford Econoline Wagon
  By Sam - April 18 - 9:40 pm

  Our family bought this van after previously owning only mini-vans. It is nice to be able to fit friends and family in one vehicle when traveling to various school functions. It has been completely reliable and easy to drive--thanks to the rear sensors when backing up! Sound system is great and the comfort of rear heating and A/C keeps everyone happy. Fuel mileage runs about 12 mpg around town. It drives the same loaded to the gills as it does with one person.
