1998 FORD E-250

The Ford E-250 is a cargo van model from Ford's E-Series/Econoline line. It is a versatile vehicle that can be used for a variety of commercial purposes, such as cargo transport, mobile workshops, and shuttle services. The E250 is known for its spacious interior and powerful engine, making it a popular choice for businesses and individuals who need to transport large amounts of goods or equipment. Though the E-Series has been its own unique platform since 1968, it uses many components from the F-Series line of pickup trucks. Since 1980, E-Series has been the best selling American full size van held 80 percent of the full-size van market in the United States. The E-series is a tow vehicle, due to the available GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) of up to 20,000 lb, and its relatively low curb weight. Ninety-five percent of van sales are to commercial or fleet-end users; about half are cargo vans. The E-Series cargo area features a double-wall design which leaves the exterior sheet metal less vulnerable to damage from shifting cargo. In early 2007, the E-Series was listed by Autodata as one of the top 20 best selling vehicles in the U.S. The E-250 was discontinued in 2014 at which time the average MSRP was $30,060. Ford replaced the E-250 with the Ford Transit.
