Capacities: Passengers & Cargo
E-Series Cargo vans are designed to haul payload and thus are limited to either 2 people (two front seats) or 5 (with rear bench). Cargo volumes depend on engine and the presence or absence of a rear bench. They can range from 146.4 cubic feet to 278.3 with a max payload of 3710. On the other hand Econoline Wagons are designed to haul passengers and thus the E150 will accommodate 7-8, the 250 will allow for 12 while the E350 Extended Length can support a staggering 15 passengers.
Econoline Van Towing
Towing is variable based on the model (Regular or Extended Length) but more importantly the equipped engine (4.6L, 5.4L or 6.8L). As a rule of thumb Econoline Cargo vans can tow more from 6,000 to 10,000 pounds, however Wagons are also capable of reaching this towing capacity as well.
