Overview

In the realm of fullsize passenger vans, the 2014 Ford E-Series Wagon Van is well known. Prices go up to MSRP $37,320, with a total of 2 trims with two wheelbases being offered. With gorgeous, and in fact quite roomy, interiors, the E-Series Wagon offers seating for up to 15 people. The standard engine on offer is a 4.6L V8 mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. This engine maintains a combined MPG of 14 while making 225 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque. However, if more power is required, one can get a 5.4L V8 for an additional $975. This engine is also mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission, making 255 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. The optional engine returns a combined fuel economy of 13 mpg. There is also a 6.8L V10 engine coupled with a 5-speed automatic transmission. It produces 305 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. Ford offers a decent amount of practical as well as cosmetic features, further increasing the prospects of the E-Series Wagon among competitors like the Chevrolet Express 2500 Passenger Van, the GMC Savana Passenger Van, and the Nissan NV Passenger Van. 

Buying Advice

The XL and XLT are two trims that come in two different load ratings. Only 3500 trims are available with an optional extended wheelbase which increases the seating capacity up to 15 from 12. Meanwhile, only 8 individuals are allowed in 1500 trims. That said, we advise upgrading to the XLT trim. You can also select the XLT Premium Package worth $3,030 for features such as Ford's Sync voice control interface, keyless entry, alloy wheels, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and more.
