Our small co. E-350 cargo is getting a little long in the tooth, and we're thinking of a modest upgrade. Partly due to the storage bin setup, we rarely carry even 1,500 lbs, and almost never farther than 50 miles. It carries very little load most of the time. I'm sure an E-250 is up to the job; how about an E-150?

Payload is about 3300 lbs. of course that will have to include the weight of the storage bins, and driver.

Thanks. That'll give a wider variety in shopping for a used one.
