The 2001 Ford E-Series, also known as the Econoline Van, is part of the fourth generation of Ford's full-size van offering. It's offered with a range of engine options, starting with a 4.2L V6 generating 195 horsepower to a powerful 7.3L turbo diesel V8 producing 215 horsepower. These powerplants are mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission and are rear-wheel-drive. Trim levels range from basic cargo vans to more upscale passenger versions, such as the E-150, E-250, E-350 Super Duty, and E-450 Super Duty. Although devoid of many modern safety features, the E-Series vans are known for their reliability and durability. Their boxy shape and plentiful cargo space make them popular choices for businesses and conversion van companies.
