And it looks good! They tested a high roof wagon XLT with the EcoBoost engine.

They noted it's far faster than it needs to be, it hits 60 MPH in 7.5 seconds. That's about as fast as the V6 Mustang I had in '05. 22 MPG in their test too.

the 15.9 quarter time isn't shabby either. Thanks for sharing!

 

This looks really promising in terms of performance. Loaded down, it won't go as fast, but I would bet it has way more oomph than an Econoline with a 5.4 in it (which it should based on the hp numbers of the EB engine). And this is a high roof 350.

Oops, just noticed it is a Car and Driver test, not Motor Trend. Not much different although C&D usually seems to get better performance numbers out of their vehicles than MT.

235/65x16" tires seem really small for such a huge vehicle (gotta be load range E at least), but as with the Sprinter, they are maximizing the size of the box by minimizing the size of the wheel wells.

Thanks for the link,

Good catch George, it's definitely C&D who did the review.
