The Right Tools Start with the Right Foundation
E-Series can offer some of
the most advanced technology in the business since it already has one of the
most capable chassis in the business. Some of the standard and available
functionality built into E-Series includes:
- Standard on all E-Series
vans and wagons, Ford's AdvanceTrac with RSC features unique functionality and a
level of performance that competitive stability control systems can't match.
Unlike competitor systems, AdvanceTrac with RSC uses a second gyroscopic
roll-rate sensor to determine the vehicle's body roll angle and roll rate. If
the unique roll-rate sensor detects a significant roll angle, the system applies
additional countermeasures - such as applying brakes to one or more wheels or
reducing engine power - to enhance vehicle rollover resistance
- Flex
fuel-capable gasoline V-8 engines: All E-Series vehicles equipped with either
the 4.6-liter or 5.4-liter V-8 engine are capable of running on E85 (85 percent
ethanol and 15 percent gasoline), pure gasoline or any blend in between
- Compressed natural gas/liquefied petroleum gas: CNG and LPG fuel-capable engine
available on 5.4-liter V-8 and 6.8-liter V-10
- Safety equipment: Includes an
optional dash-mounted front passenger airbag cutoff switch on vans and cutaways
and an optional factory-installed integrated trailer brake controller that
permits direct operation of a trailer's electronic brakes
Comfort and

on the instrument panel connects E-Series to MP3 players and other portable
audio devices

power point
