Pros: Roomy, Kid and Parent friendly

Review: Our E-350 Club Wagon XLT is the ultimate vehicle for a large family (we have 8). We took out the front bench, giving us plenty of room to climb in, store suitcases, etc, and still seat 12 passengers. The 6.8L v-10 engine is more than we need (it's a ...

Pros: Size, TV/VCP, interior room, comfort
