Talk:Ford E-Series

message: For whatever reason there was no mention of the 1965-67 Econoline Super Vans.These were built on the same chassis as the other Gen 1 Econoline vans but had a plug inserted into the body between the rear end of the body and the rear door assembly and a lengthened floor to match. I no longer remember the exact difference (I used to own one) but it was at least 12 inches long and maybe as much as 24 inches long. It was only available with the new for 1965 240 cubic inch (3.9L) six cylinder engine. I don't think the 300 cubic inch (4.9L) version of this engine was around back then. If it was, it may have been an option above the 240 on Super Vans.    Michou 13 (talk) 20:52, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

message: The E-Series is getting two new versions.The first one is a crane version this crane can lift 20,000 pounds and the second one is jack hammer version. This version will have a jack hammer at the end of the van chasis.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Techsmoke94 (talk • contribs) 01:45, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The first generation was available with double swinging doors on both sides. I think that was exclusive to Ford and no other American full-size van has had it. IIRC not even Ford offered that door option on the later generation Econolines.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bizzybody (talk • contribs) 00:53, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Is the E Series in the fourth or fifth generation; this page seems to suggest 4 generations (including the current one), but the light truck timeline shows the 08-current as a seperate generation

thread_title: 4th or 5th Generation?

message: ford is not going to replace the e-series with the t series, the t-series will be added to the commercial fleet lineup for widened options in that segment. i have added that to the section but it got deleted again.
please see http://www.leftlanenews.com/ford-reverses-course-cancels-e-series-van-after-all.html for confirmation. if someone could change it accordingly now, thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.87.58.127 (talk) 11:53, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Replacement 

message: Anyone have a couple of answers to these questions:
# When was the short-wheel model discontinued?  1984 For Club Wagon, 1990 For Econoline Van (I have the brochures) 
# When was the extended-length version introduced? (from info I have, it was a mid-1977 release) 
# What was under the hood of the second-generation models?  (that's one reason why I put the tag there) You couldn't reach much, cooling system, and the power brake master cylinder sat sideways and used a bell-crank system, and the battery. The engine came out the side door during overhaul on those... 
Thank you. --SteveCof00 (talk) 09:34, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clarifications 

message: The lede describes "Econoline" as "formerly", but this name is clearly still in use; see page 12 of Ford's 2011 annual report:
:Also new in the world of trucks for Ford will be the North American Transit van, which will replace the venerable Econoline wagon and van in North America in 2013.

message: The Club Wagon was actually part of the First Generation lineup of Econoline vans, as shown in this 1964 Brochure. I have corrected the commons categories accordingly, which left only two images in the second generation Club Wagon category, although I'm suspicious about two rusted out vans being Club Wagons. ---------User:DanTD (talk)  14:08, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

message: I see the page was just moved from Ford E-Series to Ford E Series, without any discussion or consensus.  The reasoning was that the name should not have the hyphen as a standalone noun, i.e. without "van" or such afterward.  However, Ford brands it as the "E-Series" (see ) so I don't see why that should change based on context.  , do you have additional sources showing it as "E Series"?  Also, there's the matter of Ford F-Series as well. --15:15, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Similarly it was moved the other way recently.  Anyway, ordinary English punctuation seems most appropriate, with E series being the noun, and the adjective form hyphenated as in E-series van.  Most uses in sources are the adjective form, and people get used to the hyphen and use it for the noun form for the series as well, but that's really a grammatical disaster, so for the readers' sake it's best avoided.  But I expect Ford fans will want to do what they did with the F series, so maybe it's a lost cause. Dicklyon (talk) 15:27, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: In this case, it doesn't matter if it's grammatically correct or not; it's Ford's model branding (and it would be the same for any other make). It should be consistent whether it precedes van/cutaway or not. --Vossanova o< 22:07, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I personally do not like it when "Series" is capitalized, but I suppose it's up to Ford themselves. I wonder what we do when capitalization and hyphenation changes over the decades? Luckily, Ford seems to have been pretty consistent.  Mr.choppers | ✎  00:21, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I see the page has been moved back, but for the sake of bolstering consensus, I agree with the "E-Series" title; it should reflect the way the manufacturer brands it. --Sable232 (talk) 01:26, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page move 

message: Ford E300 is likely a variant model; orphaned article with almost no notability in its current status SteveCof00 (talk) 12:04, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Support as per nom.  Mr.choppers | ✎  00:21, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

text: I'm in agreement that the E300 page is a glorified draft and it looks like its sources are dying out.  My primary interest arose from that this was a factory-produced model line; Chevrolet van and Dodge Ram van have similar article content (as GM and Dodge also produced cube vans from the factory during the 1970s).  If added here, things will have to be redone from scratch (1975 Ford Vans brochure looks to be a good resource, although it is the oldest that I can find so far); along with finding reliable references, this needs to be presented without information overload.  --SteveCof00 (talk) 10:09, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed merge of [[:Ford E300]] into [[:Ford E Series]]  

message: Coming from the deletion decision, this is 95% of the E-series content that needs to be migrated from that page to here.  For the most part, online, it is very tricky to find the VN58/VN127 code names (outside of sites that are direct copypastes of the Wikipedia content, the only online content I have found is some obscure content related to emissions testing).  So yes, I would say the VN58/VN127 model codes do exist (it's more that whoever made the page 17 years ago didn't make it up so much as didn't back up...but this was WP so long ago).  This link here (https://pdfcoffee.com/automotive-platforms-pdf-free.html) has a VN127 model code for the E-Series (this was published in 2016, so the VN58 code is likely obsolete).  Other than finding the model code details (for the infobox, perhaps?), most of this information is already duplicated.  -SteveCof00 (talk) 08:09, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
