About Ford Motor Company Buses
Ford Motor Company, based in Dearborn, Michigan, doesn't build bus bodies itself. It supplies the cutaway and stripped chassis that body builders turn into shuttles, school buses and limo buses. The E-Series (originally the Econoline, introduced in 1961) is still sold as a cutaway, while the Transit replaced the E-Series passenger van in the US for the 2015 model year.
What Buyers Look for in Used Ford Buses
Buyers usually compare the body builder and floorplan, the chassis and GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, the maximum loaded weight), engine (the 6.8L V10 on older E-Series, the 7.3L V8 on newer ones, and diesel on most F-550 and F-650 buses), lift and securement condition on ADA units, and seat count against their drivers' licensing.
