* Wheelbase: E-350s came in various wheelbases. Longer wheelbases mean more space and thus, more weight.
* Engine: Different engines (gasoline or diesel) have different weights.
* Options: Added features like seating configurations (number of seats, type of seats), air conditioning, extra safety equipment, and any aftermarket modifications all increase the weight.
* Cargo: The weight of passengers and any cargo significantly affects the overall weight.
To find the weight of a *specific* 2001 Ford E-350 shuttle bus, you would need to find its:
* Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR): This is the maximum allowable weight of the vehicle when fully loaded (including passengers, cargo, and fuel). This is usually found on a sticker inside the driver's side doorjamb or in the owner's manual.
* Curb Weight: This is the weight of the vehicle without passengers, cargo, or fuel. This information is much harder to find for a specific bus and often isn't readily available publicly.
Without knowing the specific configuration and looking up the GVWR and curb weight for that particular vehicle (which might require accessing service records or contacting the previous owner), it's impossible to give you an exact weight. You can only give a broad range, which would be quite large.
