The Ford E-Series has existed in The Blue Oval’s lineup for a really long time to this point, and for good reason – it’s a popular workhorse that has proven it self time and time again in various settings. Though Ford no longer sells new van versions of the E-Series, older examples continue to prove popular in today’s world – many of them converted campers. There was also a time when many third-party companies transformed these vans into luxurious family road trip haulers, and in that realm, this 2004 Ford E-150 is a real gem of a find.
This 2004 Ford E-150 Explorer Van conversion is up for auction at Hagerty with just 52k miles on the clock, and it’s in pretty fantastic condition. Explorer Van is one of many third-party outfits that turned regular old E-Series vans into super comfy, luxurious haulers designed to soak up the miles, and that’s certainly the case here. This one was reportedly kept in a garage since new, and that shows on the outside, which remains in stellar condition, save for a single dent and scratch. It rolls on a new set of American Racing alloy wheels wrapped with 235/65R17 Micheline Defender 2 tires, too.
Thanks to its raised roof, there’s plenty of room inside this Ford E-150 conversion for all kinds of upgrades. Those include dual captain’s chairs, a power-folding leather couch, privacy shade windows, a TV, a touchscreen entertainment system, and lots of wood grain. Other amenities include air conditioning, power windows, power locks, and power mirrors.
Power for this super clean Ford E-150 comes from the naturally-aspirated 5.4L V8, which in this case is paired with an automatic transmission. It also has power steering and power brakes, making it a bit more reasonable to tool around in.
We spotted a similar 1995 E-150 conversion van last year that popped up for auction, in equally nice condition. That one also featured a high-roof conversion from Centaurus, and had just 39k miles on the clock at that time.
