The Ford Super Club Wagon is designed to move large numbers
of people. It comes with seating for 15, although little room is left
for inside storage with all five (yes, 5) rows of seats in place. The
Super Club Wagon is constructed on the one ton Ford Econoline chassis with
an extended body. The Super Club Wagon is 20.2 inches longer than the
Club Wagon, although it rides on the same 138" wheelbase.
I selected a van with the V-10 Triton engine and the
E4OD, 4 speed automatic electronic overdrive transmission. The van
rides on LT245/75R16 tires which are Load Range E. A step rear bumper
aids in access to the rear. The van has a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating) of 9300 pounds. It originally came with a 3.73 gear ratio in a
DANA 60 drive axle. The Super Club Wagon has a GCVWR (Gross Combined
Vehicle Weight Rating) of 15,000 pounds with the 3.73 rear end and 18,500
pounds with the 4.10 rear end.
Our van is white with gray cloth interior to minimize
heat retention in the desert. It had the XLT interior package with
front reclining club chairs, dark tint windows (all except driver and
passenger windows and windshield), power drivers seat, power windows, power
door locks, cruise control, tilt steering wheel, AM-FM Stereo cassette
radio, trailer towing package, illuminated entry system, and dual air
conditioners (rear air can be controlled by the driver or from the overhead
controls above the second row of seats).
