The E450 is reserved for more heavy-duty commercial purposes but both models come with the same configurations that include passenger and cargo vans, cutaway, and chassis cab designs.
Then another big difference comes in the towing department. The E350 is only capable of towing up to 10,000 pounds, while the E450 can tow up to 14,000 pounds. This big difference prompts trailer owners to go with the larger and more powerful van.
