A high point in the standard cargo van market is the Ford E-250. In 2009 Ford released an upgraded version of the E-250 with one versions: Base. Sales for the E-250, especially the E-250 Base, were brisk during 2009 and 2010. The improved reliability and the sporty styling were responsible for the sales boost.
The 2009 E-150 is an important vehicle to Ford for the standard cargo van market segment. The Base is a member of a series of three trim levels for the E-150 which include Base, XL, and XLT. The three-door van with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Ford. There is strong competition from vehicles from Toyota.
The Express 1500 Base is equipped with a General Motors 5.3 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The Vortec engine is mated to a General Motors 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.
There have been several award-winning vans from Chevrolet over the years, including the Chevrolet Express 1500 of 2008. There are three trim levels to the Express 1500, including Base, LS, and LT. The Base version is one of the more popular options, outselling other configurations. Like in 2007 the popular 5.3 liter Vortec has made this a popular choice for standard cargo van buyers nationwide.
