2009 Ford E-150 Review

This car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.

The Ford E-150 cargo vans or passenger wagons are built on a rugged platform and offer large interiors with vast cargo capacities. The Ford E-150 comes with a standard 225-hp 4.6-liter Triton V8 with an optional 255-hp 5.4-liter Triton V8. Both engines are mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Standard features include four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, underbody full-size spare, air conditioning, tilt steering wheel and variable intermittent wipers. The cargo van is available in the regular or in the extended length version. The regular length van offers both a commercial and a recreational trim while the extended version offers the commercial trim only. The recreational trim is nicely primed for modifications to suit the buyer's needs. The E-150 passenger wagon comes in the rugged XL trim or the well equipped XLT trim which can carry up to eight passengers. For 2009, The Ford E-150 receives a new instrument panel incorporating a glove box. The V8 gas engines are now flex fuel capable and the recreational trim on the cargo van and both trims on the passenger wagon now come standard with electronic traction and stability control.
