Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / February 2007e-150 commercial cargo and recreational cargo?
e-150 recreational price $26535-commercial price $23280=$3255!!! what accounts for the 3255 difference? the specs seem the same and that's a (*&& (*!!X@X^%^ of soundproofing does the higher weight payload package give a base for a sport suspension mod or is it more buckboard only? how's the limited slip work? is a locking axle more on the road more effective? can the truck pull a 2500 lb trailer with the lower axle ratios? does the truck need the $800 a/c for desert travel? what mileage does a 150 get out on the road at 55? > e-150 recreational price $26535-commercial price $23280=$3255!!! > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > what mileage does a 150 get out on the road at 55? I'm not sure, but the Recreational version is likely to have interior panels to cover the sheet metal. I would suggest that ANY vehicle would benefit from an $800 air conditioner, especially in the desert. In many areas, a vehicle without A/C can not be sold because nobody wants it. I think you should consider A/C as standard equipment, and if it isn't standard, then you must order it. In any case, you will certainly enjoy it/wish you had it when the temp is 100+. >I'm not sure, but the Recreational version is likely to have interior panels >to cover the sheet metal.

I would also consider at least a E250 because the rear suspension in a E150 is pretty light duty and even a E250 is not the match of a F250 in rear suspension but better than a E150 and this would help a lot towing. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com Jeff- ford now runs a rebate for the commercial cargo interiors, one type offering wall covering only no racks or bins is fiber covered by plastic film and an aluminum foil insulation at $1000+ at no purchase cost 1000+ for fiber? maybe the $3k is russian birch and carbon foam? ford sales fell dramatically in january but i was dissappointed to read commercial van sales were up. one a/c is standard, one costs $800 more including an aux heater atop a wheel well. http://www.commtruck.ford.com/ctw/default.asp > Jeff- > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > http://www.commtruck.ford.com/ctw/default.asp Pay $800 for the life support systems, you will be happy you did. More accurately, you will wish you did if you don't. |
