 **Driveline flexibility.** Because these are body-on-frame vehicles (compared to modern uni-body vans), they are much more tolerant of abuse and modification.  [[https://weldtecdesigns.com/product/wtd-ford-e-series-6-lift-kit-for-3rd-gen-vans/|Lift kits up to 6"]] are available, and the bodies are able to fit very large wheel and tire options for serious off-roading capabilities. 4x4 conversions are still available in limited quantities from upfitters such as Quigly or Quadvan.
-**Towing.** Of this there is no dispute; the Econolines are the vehicle you want if you're towing a heavy trailer. Depending on the engine/transmission/axle ratio, the [[https://www.towratings.net/model/e-350+van|E-350 can tow up to 10,000lbs]], almost //twice// what a Transit can pull, and it will do so reliably. The 5-speed automatic transmission that was optional behind the 5.4L V-8 and standard behind the 6.8L V-10 is particularly desirable for those who are pulling a lot of weight.
