I still love the view, and the gas mileage for a driving brick, tons of space, body is holding good, knock on wood - no mechanical problems Also having the rear a/c compressor laying flat on the ground taking up as much room as possible - was again a cheap and easy, too much effort and engineering to put it where it properly goes which is up on top or on the top sides out of the way - really Ford! Ford it is called either a passenger compartment or cargo area, Ford really cheaped out when they put the jack, blower and battery where people and cargo are supposed to go.

The biggest complaint is the person who designed but never tried to get in and out of the drivers seat, there is absolutely no room to swing your feet out, and no where to put your left foot comfortably.Īnother dumb idea was to put the battery under the drivers seat, and the blower motor under the passenger seat, plenty of room under the hood to put this.
Took out a seat in the middle for more storage and legroom, way to heavy.
Put it in the engine compartment under the air cleaner, probably where they should have put the battery. Jack - relocated the vehicle jack which was literally stuck on the inside of the van where you are supposed to put your luggage. added about 1 inch of ground clearance, lost 1/2 mpg, ride is a lot better. Still have the van, still would have bought it!Ĭhanges - the factory tires were horrible, added some over sized all dual purpose truck tires Cooper AT3, now I can go around a corner without the traction control kicking in. Headliner separated by the side door, ford is ordering me a new one, overall it is doing fine, and if you need a giant van that gets decent mileage this is the route to go. The seats are removable if you are a gorilla, super heavy, don't plan on moving them in or out on a regular basis, also they are not interchangeable - super bad design. The side door was fixed and closes better, but it still won't close easily unless another door or a window is open. The not so good - still can't find aftermarket dash mount back up camera, the factory one is so small you can't really see behind you. The Good - still getting great mileage, averaging 17mpg, still lots of space for people and luggage, still would buy it again. Overall I like the van, I just wish ford would have thought a few things through, and especially made a power sliding door option on that mammoth side door.

I have ordered 12 volt powerpoints to install by the seats. I have already replaced the toy rear view mirror with one that allows me to see out those large wonderful side windows. Overall I would do it again, I am changing out my seats for custom seats, and hopefully an aftermarket back up replacement monitor will come out soon. The rearview mirror is from the same toy car, it is so small you can almost see out the back windows. The back up camera display is from a toy car, it is so small that it is dangerous, you can barely make out the objects as you are backing up. No handle on the inside of the back door? A few oddly placed cup holders by the windows, again they could have put two or three by each seat row. ONE powerpoint in the back by NO seat, for a passenger van they could have put a few by each seat row. The back seats in the old E350 used to be a nice large bench seat, now they are broken up into individual seats, not sure if that is a good idea or not, my kids use to lay down in the old seats, and even fall asleep, impossible to do in the new van.
The side door is a bummer to use - it is heavy and doesn't close easily, kids can't open or close it, we mainly enter/exit from the back doors. The transmission is a 6 speed and is very … smooth. I am averaging 17.5 in mixed city/highway driving, and have achieved 24 mpg on the highway that was pretty much level. Lots of room to walk around, lots of space behind the seat, reasonably quite, The engine seems twice as powerful as my old 5.4L V8. Just Purchased an XLT 350 Medium Roof with the 3.5 Ecoboost.
