2015 Ford E-350 E-350 SD

The E-350 is Ford's full-size van, the one you see as a shuttle, work truck, or family hauler. It drives like the big, heavy vehicle it is, with a commanding view and a ride that soaks up bumps without drama. Inside, there's room for up to 12 people, and the simple vinyl seats and rubber floors wipe clean in seconds. You'll need to plan parking and turns, but the trade-off is space that swallows strollers, campers, and whole bunk beds. Stepping up from the stripped-down E-150 adds a stouter suspension and a higher GVWR, so the SD is built to handle heavier loads on the job site. The 5.4L V8 makes 255 horsepower through an automatic transmission; it's not quick, but it pulls steadily from a stop and never feels overworked with a full load. The SD's standard heavy-duty alternator and dual batteries mean you can run auxiliary equipment without worrying about draining the starting battery.
