Responding to the concerns about the safety of these large vehicles, Ford is making its “AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control” standard on 12- and 15-passenger E-350 Super Duty extended-length wagons for 2006.
The stability system senses roll rate and automatically applies selective braking to reduce the risk of rollover. The only other change for 2006 is making a redesigned engine cover console standard on all models and adding a transmission-oil cooler to the Trailer Tow package.
Everything else remains the same. The people-mover version of this van is called a “wagon,” and it comes in six seating configurations, accommodating from seven to 15 occupants. The cargo hauler is, logically, called a “van.” The lineup consists of E-150 and E-350 Super Duty passenger wagons; E-350, E-450, and E-550 Super Duty cutaways; and E-250, E-350, and E-450 Super Duty commercial cutaway/stripped chassis.
Wheelbases vary from 138.0 to 176.0 inches, and body options can vary the overall length from 212.0 to 257.4 inches. The standard E-series offers up to 257 cubic feet of rear cargo space, with up to 309 cubic feet in extended van versions.
Engine choices include a 4.6-liter V-8, which is the standard engine. Among other available engines is a 5.4-liter V-8, standard in the E-350 Super Duty wagon and optional in the E-150 wagon. Engine options for the E-350 Super Duty include a 6.8-liter V-10 and a 6.0-liter diesel, which puts out 235 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque.
