Utility
The typical minivan/van will most definitely prove more practical than the Ford E-250 for those of you with frequent child-cargo. The Ford E-250 is a better choice than the average minivan/van regarding transporting cargo, especially if you often need to carry a lot of loot or big pets. The Ford E-250 outpulls the average minivan/van by a massive margin.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Ford E-250 than the average minivan/van because of its larger tank. The average minivan/van and the E-250 compete for the same parking spaces. The Ford E-250's longer wheelbase will result in a smoother, more stable ride; on the other hand, the average minivan/van may give a sprier feel in daily traffic.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the typical minivan/van to the dealership as the Ford E-250. The average minivan/van isn't much costlier than the Ford E-250 as far as MSRP.

Handling
With its tighter turning radius, the typical minivan/van is most certainly more maneuverable than the Ford E-250, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the other hand, remember that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The average minivan/van's engine is somewhat smaller than the Ford E-250's, but not terribly so.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Ford E-250 offers a bit more head room than the typical minivan/van, there really isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the Ford E-250 provides a bit more head- and leg-room than the average minivan/van, there honestly isn't much of a difference.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Ford E-250 isn't quite as generous as the typical minivan/van's.
