I have no problem with the Econoline.
Maybe I'm just used to them since I've been driving them since about 1978.
The only real plus I can give the Econoline is that it's a damned sight better than the Express. But that ain't really saying much, if you think about it. Horrible fuel mileage, ponderous handling (if you even call it that), a ride that'll knock your teeth fillings out empty or loaded, brakes that require major advanced planning (even with 4 wheel discs and ABS- how do they manage that?), awful seats, total lack of modern amenities... I mean honestly, this is 2014. Any proper van has sliding doors on both sides, powered, backup camera, Navigation, etc etc etc. It's like driving a brand new commercial vehicle... circa 1980.
Yes, it's cheap, durable, and reliable. That just isn't good enough anymore.
