Summary
When I worked for a car rental agency, one of the most unloved vehicles in our fleet was a Ford E150 cargo van. At a year old it still had not accumulated over 25,000 miles. This was easy to understand, Slab sided exterior and stark interior left a lot...
Strength
Lockable all weather cargo carrying ability.
Weakness
Lack of creature comforts, paint on bumpers
Bottom Line
A very capable hauler, deserves a good look before a pick-up truck purchase.
