Ford Econovan
FORD ECONOVAR
This long passenger van may not seem like something
every rigger should know about, but it’s ideal for carting
a shadowrunner team around, and it happens to
be a very common shuttle vehicle. While most riggers
tend to go with the Bulldog or Governor, the Econovan
has something important that they do not: seats.
As a passenger van, it has several rows of seats and
can even be purchased or quickly modified to fit a trollsized
seat or two. It can fit more, but too many trolls inside
reek havoc on the suspension. The point is, those
inside can sit on seats, not just sprawl around the rear,
making it safer and a whole lot more mundane looking.
As a popular shuttle, the Econovan is a regular target for extractions when trying to snag a target on the move. It’s also a great ride to use to sneak into somewhere that shuttles employees from off-site housing to the office. Gate security usually lets it pass right in, or out, as long as it looks legit.
As one would suspect, the Econovan comes with practically no added features, but Ford offers a list of upgrades in both comfort and security. EnviroSeal is common along with upgraded onboard systems. Variations on seating arrangement are often installed on vehicles carting executives who don’t do bench seating. Ford even offers a wetbar and small fridge option. Secondary companies—usually related subsidiaries—offer custom packages that turn the van into a mini RV.
