Ford E-Series chassis cabs and cutaways to survive mass Transit onslaught
Filed under: Aftermarket, Truck, Work, Ford, Specialty
In March 2013, Ford announced we'd be getting chassis cab and cutaway versions of the Transit. Since incoming Transit vans will soon be rolling over the grave of the E-Series van, it was assumed that all E-Series models would go six feet under as well. According to a report from PickupTrucks.com, however, that's not the case, the report claiming that the highly modifiable E-350 and E-450 chassis cab and cutaway versions will continue being produced in Avon Lake, Ohio "at least until 2020."
Being decades old, the be-cabbed E-Series platform has found its way under an army of heavy-duty shuttle buses, work truck and ambulances. Ford spokeswoman Jessica Enoch verified the production horizon, telling Autoblog that the particular E-Series configuration "are a higher GVWR than the Transit chassis cab and cutaway (available this summer), which is more Class 2 and a new segment for us." So there you have it.Ford E-Series chassis cabs and cutaways to survive mass Transit onslaught originally appeared on Autoblog on Fri, 18 Apr 2014 08:32:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
