I drove a Ford Econoline E-250 today, what do you want to know?

Firstly, these are huge, interior echoes every little noise, and there’s no sound isolation.

Hmmm, the thing behind the seats is different than the one my dad uses. Also, what year is this? Forgot to ask earlier.

2014. We just sold all 3 to the same buyer, they all have less than 5K miles on them, and seem to be ex-UHaul trucks.

What engine did it have?

AH, so they’re newer than my dad’s. His is a 2012 although it’s pretty much identical.

4.6 Mod motor

How far did you drive it?

About a block’s worth.

So it wasn’t very......fast

not even. Felt like a brick wall on wheels.

My uncle has a 2004 and it endows me with increased testosterone every time I prod the throttle.

I had to keep it easy on the gravel, that thing felt like it could easily break traction, despite it being a slow as heck mod motor powered example.

Kinja'd!!!

For as big as they are, they are pretty easy to drive.

surprisingly so, I did two of them, one had to be parked in pretty tight between two smaller cars, the mirrors told me more than looking back.

Hmm, my uncle’s has the 5.4 (still slow) and probably a 200 ft long gravel driveway. No problems so far on it.
