1998 Ford Windstar GL
Continuously ranking high in Crash tests, the 1998 Ford Windstar GL epitomizes
the family van for the American family. The GL is the next to the base model trim
for the Windstar differentiating in just a few features. Standard features include,
Air Conditioning, Rear Air Conditioning, Power Steering, Power Windows, Power
Door Locks, Tilt wheel, Cruise Control, AM/FM Stereo, Cassette, Dual Front Air
Bags, ABS (4-Wheel) and a Roof Rack. At the heart of the 1998 Ford Windstar GL
is a 6 Cylinder, 3.0 Liter, 150 Horsepower Engine with a torque of 170 @3250rpm
and a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs.
The Windstar is pretty practical for do-it-yourself homeowners. With the rear
seat removed and the middle seats out of the way, there's enough room to lay sheets
of plywood flat on the floor. And with a 1700-pound carrying capacity, you could
carry a pretty large load. This rig has a lot of other trick stuff, too. The rear
window wiper goes on automatically if you back up with the front wipers on, and
if you leave the turn signal on for more than a half a mile, a chime goes off
to warn you that the signal is still going. There are eight different option packages
available on four different versions of the Windstar, so a buyer can option one
out to fit specific family needs.
