The 1997 Ford E-250 is a part of the brand’s popular E-Series, a line of full-size vans built for both commercial and personal use. It's powered by one of three engine options: a 4.9-liter inline-six, a 5.4-liter V8, or a 7.3-liter turbo-diesel V8, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The E-250 is rear-wheel drive, perfect for hauling and towing heavy loads. It comes in regular and extended body lengths with an optional Club Wagon passenger model. While it lacks modern infotainment tech, this workhorse van offers straightforward controls and a spacious cabin. Notable features for its era include standard driver and passenger airbags and optional ABS.
