We have a 96 XLT with a 4 Liter engine. Great camping vehicle for outdoor people. Haul bikes on the rack or inside for security. Space inside for two people to sleep if the seats are removed.
Plenty of ground clearance without having a SUV.
We added a limited slip differential which has been nice in Colorado.
Down sides are 14 tires are hard to find. Might get 15 rims for more tire options. Access to engine is difficult and Ebay will be your parts store for many items. Its a lower cost option to a metris. Oct 19, 2021

Ford should not have discontinued the manufacture of the Aerostar van with its clean looks, durable 3.0 and 4.0 Liter V6 engines, rear wheel drive, 4x8 load capacity, and fuel economy that is still competitive with todays slicker but more maintenance-prone minivan alternatives. Bring it back with dual sliding side doors and an optional dual-door tail gate for contractors and families.Jan 15, 2021

1997 Ford Aerostar 4. 6cyl. where is the PVC VALVE LOCATED.
I have spent weeks looking on the web and underneath and on top of my van to find the pvc valve. I can not find it and it seems like everyone else has the same problem. Please help.

I think I have a rearend problem. I have some whining with acceleration. What's your thoughts?
I am getting some whining with acceleration, so I think I have a rearend problem. I had a mechanic check it because I a small oil leak in the rearend as well. However I get about 13 miles per gallon, which isn't good and I am wondering if I should invest to repair and if there is someway to get better gas mileage. Thanks. It is a white van, no major bells or whistles.
