Positioned at the heart of the full-size van market, the rear-drive Club Wagon was designed to appeal to buyers who needed a large people mover but who wanted to travel in comfort and style. Cargo versions were known as the Econoline. Competitors in this market were the Dodge Ram Van, GMC Vandura/Rally and Savana Vans, Chevrolet Express, Mercedes-Benz/Dodge/Freightliner Sprinter and the Chevrolet G-Series/Sportvan.
Year-to-year changes[]
1991[]
The Club Wagon and Econoline each had two trim levels -- E150 and E250 Long Wheelbase.
1994[]
For this model year, the Club Wagon was available in three different series -- Regular Wagon, Heavy-Duty Regular Wagon and Super Wagon, in one of three trim levels: the base XL, the midlevel XLT and the top-of-the-line Chateau. In a major departure from the competition, the Club Wagon was offered only in a single wheelbase.
The base engine was a 4.9-liter ohv inline 6-cylinder, the only inline Six in the full-size van market. Optional gasoline engines were all V8s: a 5.0-liter ohv V8, a 5.8-liter ohv V8 and a 7.5-liter ohv V8. The optional turbocharged diesel V8, the newly reconfigured 7.3-liter, completed the powerplant lineup.
The standard transmission on 6-cylinder vans was a 3-speed automatic. A 4-speed automatic overdrive was the only optional transmission offered with the 6-clinder engine. The 4-speed automatic was standard on every other engine in the model lineup.
1995[]
For 1995, the Ford Club Wagon/Econoline benefited from a series of systems improvements. The big news was a new, optional 7.3-liter turbocharged diesel engine, which replaced the naturally aspirated version. In addition, driver's-side airbags were now standard equipment across the line, and all models received a new stainless-steel exhaust system.
