2013 Ford E-250 — description of factory-default features

Overview
The 2013 Ford E-250 is a work-oriented full-size van built on a rugged body-on-frame platform and intended for commercial and fleet use. This example is powered by the Triton 5.4L Flex Fuel V8 (FFV) producing approximately 255 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque, and it was factory-designed to accept gasoline or E85 ethanol blends. The E-250 was offered in cargo, passenger, and cutaway/chassis cab configurations; equipment and interior finishes vary by configuration and trim level (commonly XL and XLT).
