The Ford E-350 is the 1-ton member of Ford’s E-Series (formerly Econoline) full-size van platform – the “350” designation follows the same GVWR-based naming Ford uses on the F-Series (150/250/350 = half-ton/three-quarter-ton/one-ton). Understanding which body style and generation a given E-350 is helps make sense of any parts diagram for it, since the platform has been sold in genuinely different configurations.
Body styles
- Cargo van and passenger van (2-passenger up to 15-passenger) – built and sold through the 2014 model year, replaced by the Ford Transit for 2015.
- Cutaway van chassis – the cab and front structure only, with the rear frame left open for a third party to build a box body (delivery trucks, ambulances, small buses). This continues in production.
- Stripped chassis – no body at all beyond the cab, for the heaviest custom builds like motorhomes.
Three wheelbase lengths have been offered: 138, 158, and 176 inches, and the platform has never been sold with factory 4×4 (aftermarket conversion companies like Quigley offer it separately).
