The 1996 Ford E-250 is part of the Ford Econoline series, also known as the Ford E-series. This is the third generation of the E-250, a full-size van designed for commercial use and people transportation. It comes with rear-wheel drive, and payloads range from 1,640 to 3,920 lbs. Engine choices include a 4.9L inline-six, a 5.0L V8, and a more robust 5.8L V8. A notable feature is its substantial interior space which can be customized for various purposes, including cargo transport, work van, or passenger vehicle. However, the '96 model comes without many of the driver-assist technology that are common in modern vehicles.
