Handling is not something that this vehicle is known for and it lives up to this by driving like a fore ton hunk of metal. The interior is nice easy to maintain but the seat cushions are not as thick as some of the other full sized vans. The Econoline is priced at eighteen thousand dollars for the basic and thirty thousand dollars for the top end model. The Econoline gets 12 mpg city and 21 mpg highway.

No matter what van you decide on remember when you go to buy a new model that the car industry is willing to make a deal, the base invoice price is the price you should be shooting for when you walk into your local car dealership. If your buying a used model van remember these vans have been driven and used hard the mileage on one of these is not the same as on your go to work Corolla. The best thing you can do to protect yourself is to bring a mechanic or some automotive repair manuals along to inspect it.
