What's New for the 2005 Ford E-Series Wagon?
Only minimal changes are made to the 2005 Ford E-Series Wagon this year. A heavier-duty four-speed transmission is optional on E-150 models, while extended E-350 wagons receive a five-speed automatic. Electronic throttle control is now standard fare. The 5.4-liter Natural Gas V8 has been discontinued, along with the armrests for the third and fourth rows of seats. XL trim levels see the only improvements, with a new style of cloth upholstery.
Advantages of the 2005 Ford E-Series Wagon:
- Nicely styled for a large van
- Comfortable interior
Objections to the 2005 Ford E-Series Wagon: - Oldest full-size van on the market
- Engines not as powerful as those in GM vans
- Not as large inside as Dodge Sprinter
Editor's Advice:
When it comes to full-size vans, you must choose between Dodge, Ford and General Motors products. The 2005 Ford E-Series Wagon does not fare terribly well matched up against the competition from General Motors, suffering from greater age and less powerful engine choices. However, the Ford offers nicer exterior styling than anything in its class, and is sized better than the Euro-influenced Dodge Sprinter for daily driving in North America. For personal use, the handsome E-Series Wagon, particularly in Chateau trim, deserves a look.
