lol..some dude tried to sell us a '98 ford e250xl for $7500 today

[Goosemaster]

KBB says if it were in EXCELLENT condition, tops is $4950:laugh:

thank GOD I convinced my dad to hold off...and the guy is supposed to be a friend...wouldn't go down to $6k....:|


I naddition, it is only a 250 and we usually carry a lot more than a ton of materials or worksite trash so it was going to be too weak.

 

[Merlyn3D]

it's a ford...I'm surprised it's even worth $4950

Seriously though, our '90 e350 is a fvking monster. Jsut imagine...5.4 liter v8 with loads of power...accelerates like a bat out of hell even when loaded with 1.5tons (spec is 1 ton)

fvking beast that thign is...when you give it gas....mmm...makes a mustang 5.0 sound like a small crying child.


VROOM!

We only bought one.

we have a ford e350. It is just getting to be a pain to drive because of gas prices and maintenance.

in the end, as I later found out, we will be using the e250 for carrying around tools and supplies, and leave the e350 for the heavy stuff like job site waste disposal and big 1ton+ loads.

I have an '03 E150 5.4L...and I must say, it hauls ass for a full-size van.

true dat, but load it up and watch the suspension, the shafts and everything give way

Like I said, the day our 250 was at 9000LB, it still was as responsive as ****

I routenely had 2+ times rated weight in my truck. It was rated for something like 3500 lbs in the bed, and on more than one occasion I had 2 pallets of concreete in it (56 bags, 60 lbs each a pallet, for about 3400 lbs each, 6900 ish total ) along with all the crap in there.

I love my truck. But I have to replace the carpet, I think it has mold in it. The fvckers who stole it got the interior wet at some point.

Dead boies? :evil:


Seriosuly though, thsoe thigns can take a beating that I still can't even beleive sometimes....

We treat it like sh!t and it performs outstandingly (our 350)*

In terms of how rough we treat the truck. Maintenance and all that stuff is like clockwork/ consistently routine and adaquate.

It looks like if the airbag goes off you are going to get that handle right in the nads.
