Ford E-Series 4x4 Van Buyer's Guide (4th Gen) W/Ujoint Offroad | Inside Line

Coming onto the scene in the 1960s, the Ford Econoline chassis has been used for everything from C Class RV’s and Ambulances to basic delivery vans and overlanding explorers. With an array of gas and diesel engine options, along with millions produced over the years, it’s no surprise that the E Series continues to thrive on the roadway today. While you can still purchase a brand-new E-Series van from Ford today, it’s only offered as a cutaway (forward cab and stripped chassis only).

The good news is that the more conventional and popular fourth generation models (1992 to 2014) are plentiful. Even better is that many of these can be picked up on the cheap. On this Inside Line, our Senior Off-Road Editor Ali Mansour talks with Ford E-Series upfitter Chris Steuber from Ujoint Offroad about what you need to know before purchasing a 4th Gen E-Series.
