An E150 is a truck. A Chevy Van is a van box on a "C" body car
chassis. There is no reason why it shouldn't be able to ride like a
1974 Sedan De Ville. They just had to beef up the springs to get the
half ton rating.
These are not E-150's. They are E-350's. Big difference. Same with
the pickups. A F-150 is a totally different truck than the SuperDuty
F-250 and F-350 series. Different frame, springs, brakes, transmission,
etc. The F-150 rides like a car. The F-250/F-350 series rides like a
truck.
If I ever replace the pickup I have, I'll probably go for the F-150. I
no longer need the extra capacity. But, at the low rate that I am
accumulating miles on it, I'll probably have it for a long, long time.
