Ford Windstar Introduced in the mid-1990s, the front-wheel-drive Ford Windstar minivan campaigned with an emphasis on, and reputation for, safety. And in the hotly contested family minivan market of the time, that was an especially solid piece of ground to be on. As long as buyers didn't need to haul adults in back on a regular basis, the Windstar served a family's needs just fine.

Default Cargo Capacity

How does the Windstar cargo capacity compare to the E-150 and other full size Ford vans?

Thanks,

Did some digging after posting that, and found numbers of 136 cu ft and 144 cu ft listed for the Windstar. I suppose the two numbers are with and without interior side panels.

Numbers I found on the E-150 are about 240 cu ft, a much larger difference than I expected.

However, the 2000 spec showed hiway mpg for the E-150 at 12. That's much lower than I expected. My younger son's daily driver and business hauler, a '97 E-350, gets about 10 in mostly around town driving. His '87 E-350 14' box van, with carbed 460 engine, gets 6 to 7 mpg, but isn't driven often.

6 MPG.... woot!!!

I was bored today and figured out how much money my van costed me with gas....

248,000 miles
Average $2.50 per gallon

13,000 gallons or $32,000 I could've bought 2 more windstars for that much!!!

Now you see what damage bored minds can create
