Ford E-series

If you are looking for an Econoline Cargo that offers extensive customization and superior handling then the all new E-series van is the vehicle for you. The 4.6-liter V8 is sufficient only for those who don’t plan on hauling a lot of stuff through the Maryland area. Any of the uplevel engines should suit most buyers just fine, particularly the torquey and relatively fuel-efficient diesel V8. A new extra includes a Microsoft-powered in-dash computer that affords high-speed Internet access as well as mobile printing via an available wireless printer.

For businesspeople who demand additional customization, Ford offers several special packages that equip the E-Series with a variety of racks, bins and drawers, as well as the above mentioned lineup of “Work Solutions. Work Soltutions include a Microsoft-powered in-dash computer that affords high-speed Internet access as well as mobile printing via an available wireless printer.
