2004 Ford Taurus Sel Wagon on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
|
This is a beautiful Silver Frost Metallic 2004 Ford Taurus SEL wagon in excellent condition with only 45,000 miles. I purchased this vehicle in June of 2006 from Autoway Ford in Brooksville, FL. and have used it as a daily driver. It is extremely reliable and with the luggage rack on the roof and the internal cargo area it's great for moving supplies for your home projects. It's Front wheel drive with dual front air bags. The Ford Taurus has been one of the 10 best selling vehicles in the U.S. and rated as one of the best family cars in terms of safety. In fact safety, comfort and reliability are the trademarks of this vehicle. It has a 3.0 Duratec liter V6 aluminum block ( a $1200 option hwhen new ) with 201 horsepower and 4 speed automatic transmission. This wagon provides up to 81.3 cubic feet of cargo space and this SEL model is the top of the line offered for Taurus wagons. It has automatic climate control, power adjustable pedals, a leather wrapped steering wheel, AM/FM cassette player with 6-disc CD changer, four wheel disc brakes, 7 spoke machined aluminum wheels, keypad entry, dark paledo wood-trimmed interior, adjustable luggage rack and a unique bumper shape with step pads at the rear. In addition, it has a flip-up rear window in its tailgate which is useful if you just want to reach in and grab something quickly without opening the tailgate. In addition, this vehicle has dual color keyed remote power adjustable exterior rearview mirrors. These SEL wagons are better equipped than the sedans as ABS is standard and it has a rear anti-roll bar for better handling. This particular wagon comes with the vinyl cover that rolls up and covers the rear cargo area which you don't often see on these wagons so you can conceal any valuables in the cargo space if you wish. ( please see the pictures ) The exterior metallic paint is in very good condition and the body has no dents or dings since I have always been very careful to park it away from other vehicles when grocery shopping. It has been senior owned and operated since purchased in Brooksville, FL and has been a joy to drive. I am selling my wagon since I have medical issues to deal with otherwise it would remain in the family. All of the window glass is immaculate with no cracks or chips and the power windows all operate as they should. The engine is always very responsive and the acceleration is good when you need to merge with traffic. The interior is in excellent condition and the leather is supple and well preserved since I have always maintained it with leather conditioner. All of the instruments work and the interior lighting at night is very well positioned and marked for night time driving. The floor carpeting is in terrific condition since it has been covered with rubber mats and vacuumed on a regular basis. This wagon would suit anyone since it so reliable, safe and has excellent performance. As you can see I have an excellent buyer/seller record with E-Bay and I am an honest person who just wants to find a good home for my car.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost
Fri, 09 May 2014I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.
Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.
Lincoln Continental production likely to shift to Flat Rock
Fri, Jun 12 2015Lincoln production may be returning to Michigan, according to a new report from Automotive News. While the brand's current big sedan, the MKS, is built alongside the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer, and their Police Interceptor counterparts at the Blue Oval's Chicago, IL factory, the production version of the Continental won't be screwed together in the Windy City. According to AN, "industry sources" claim the Continental will join the Ford Mustang and Ford Fusion – on which the big Lincoln is loosely based – at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. The move isn't just based on convenience, though. Ford is selling a lot of Explorers, and shifting Lincoln production away from Chicago Assembly frees up production capacity for the popular SUV. "Chicago Assembly Plant is vital to our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to manufacture the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor vehicles even after we phase out production of the MKS in 2016," Ford told Automotive News. "We will continue to match production to demand." Looking at the numbers further backs up the argument against Lincoln production in Chicago. Last year alone, Ford built nearly 285,000 Explorers and over 73,000 Taurus sedans, compared to just 8,300 Lincolns. Finally, as AN tells it, Ford is almost telegraphing the Continental's arrival in Flat Rock. The facility has a four-week shut down scheduled from June 15 through July 13, which is twice as long as the typical summer vacation, while there's another two weeks off slated for September.
