E-Series Van vs. Transit Van

Some of you may know there are rumors that Ford is planning to phase out the best selling E-Series van for the new Transit.

So the big question is; which one do you guys prefer?

E series. The transit has too much of a European double decker bus look to it, too narrow and too tall. A good strong wind would blow that thing over...

I'm hoping they find a way to make them coexist. The Transit is better for commercial use, and the E-Series is better for a passenger vehicle in my opinion. If I had to choose one or the other, I'd say E-Series. I've always been an Econoline fan (especially the 4X4). I really really like the old 60's Econolines.

I also hoped Ford would make the Ranger and F150 coexist. Didn't work out so hot, did it?

See how sweet the Econoline is (or can be)?





And this is my favorite Econoline made....

Wow that Econoline is a beast.

Technically anything for the old Excursion should work on the Econoline right?

Here's one going down the tracks.

Check this Duramax out from our track (about 4 miles from me). Yes, that would spank the Stang. This is a "street legal" drag night.

I've seen a 9 second 1/4 mile f250 running the 6.0l diesel that was daily driven. Pure sex!
