2006 Ford Econoline Cargo E-350 SD 3dr Ext Van

Plenty of cargo space and class-leading towing power are found in the 2006 Ford Econoline Cargo E-350 Extended Van, the super-duty version of the rear-wheel drive commercial cargo van, with 309 cubic feet of storage room and the ability to tow up to 10,000 pounds.  A standard 5.4-liter, 255-hp V8 can be replaced by either a turbodiesel 6.0-liter, 235-hp V8 (with 440 lb-ft of torque!) or a 6.8-liter, 305-hp V10.  A 4-speed auto tran is standard and 5-speed automatic is optional. Electronic throttle control is new this year.  The van seats two, with an optional second row available, and the vinyl front bench seat can be replaced with cloth captain's chairs.  

4-wheel disc and ABS brakes, a front independent and rear live axle suspension, front stabilizer bar, and dual front-side airbags are standard.  A limited slip rear differential is optional.  Air, radio, intermittent wipers, a front power outlet, cupholders, tilt steering wheel, and a tachometer are standard, but you can add power features, cruise control, daytime running lights, a security system, rear air conditioning, and a CD player.  The power and solidity of the 2006 Econoline Cargo E-350 Extended Van are what sells it, despite the low fuel economy.
