2002 E350 Super Duty 15 Pax Summary:
(This is an update to my post in May '06)Purchased the van 5 yrs ago, with 66K kms on it. Now have 244,000 (152000 miles) and still going strong. The 7.3L diesel is awesome, tons of power. The paint finish is holding very well. I installed full length alum checker running boards which really helps getting in an out of the van and keeping the dirt off the sides. Mechanically, it's very good; change oil religiously, rear end too. No major problems yet aside from the R4100 tranny frying due to bad electrical connections. The only issue is when some parts need replacing, some are only from Ford, like the dual battery cables. Had to replace it as one battery terminal clamps wore out from the battery moving around. One runs from under the van the other from engine compartment and holy crap was is a rip-off. Aside from that the van is great, wife really likes it; it's great on long trips very comfortable to drive; room for the whole ball team. It rides nicer than a gas pot 15 pax van due to the added lbs of the diesel and it handles well but tires make all the difference ; using Nokian Vativas. Get on average 90k kms (55k miles) rotating every 5000 kms. I highly recommend these tires. The sound system is great and no other issues. This is my favourite vehicles out of the last 15 vehicles I've owned for business and personal. I love driving it on the highway with so much power on the hills.
I recommend this van with the diesel anytime. Strengths:
Good driver position; interior wearing well with 8 kids pounding it; tons of power with the diesel, tows a trailer nicely. Weaknesses:
Some parts from Ford are outrageously expensive. Poor air circulation in the rear of the van, one more pop-out window would be nice. Similar Products Used:
