2011 Ford Escape Xlt Sport Utility 4-door Fwd 3.0l Flex Fuel - Red Sangria on 2040-cars
Johnston, Iowa, United States
Up for auction: 2011 Ford Escape XLT FWD 3.0L Flex fuel V6 Exterior Color: Red Sangria Interior Color: Charcoal Options: 3.0L Flex Fuel V6 (Rated to burn any grade of gasoline up to E85) Automatic 6 speed transmission, Towing hitch, Rear Defrost and Wiper, Cloth seats, Driver and Passenger side air bags, anti-lock brakes, TCS (Traction Control System - simply controls wheel spin by electronically limiting the amount of power going to the spinning wheel.) Sound system with AM/FM, Sirius Satellite, Single MP3 capable CD, Microsoft Sync with Bluetooth, USB, Line in, iPod controls through USB This one owner SUV has been regularly serviced per the Ford recommendations. All service records are available. It has never been in an accident. This vehicle is mechanically flawless and all accessories work perfectly Tires are at least 75% life, and rotated regularly. There are 113,500 miles on it, but they are all highway miles. On the highway, using regular (no alcohol) unleaded, the MPG approaches 28 on the interstate, and I have seen it at 31 on 55 MPH roads. I have consistently burned regular unleaded, and there have only been a handful of times it has had E10 ('Super' grade with alcohol) fuel. On this particular vehicle, the MPG is 10% or higher or better using regular. I have taken good care of this car, it only has minor exterior imperfections - a few rock chips on the front nose of the hood, a small scrape where a truck backed into the front bumper at a stop light, a small scratch in the paint by the passenger side mirror. The interior is about the same, with the usual wear and tear of someone who spends a lot of time in their vehicle. The vehicle has not ever been smoked in. The vehicle will be detailed before it is handed over to the winning/paying bidder. The title was paid in full in June and it will be in our hands by the time this transaction is over. Should you need it shipped, I will help load it on the transport of your choice, but do not have a preferred company. This has been a great vehicle for us, but it is time to downsize.

Ask me if you need a link to Autotrader, or if you have any questions or need any other pictures. Thanks for looking! Boutontechnologies |

2016 Ford Explorer configurator reveals $30,700* base price, Platinum starts at $52,600*
Wed, Nov 26 2014The a la carte menu for the 2016 Ford Explorer is ready for your... umm... exploring. The first page of the refreshed model's configurator reveals the lineup, including the new Platinum trim, and price increases for three of the carryover models. The base Explorer doesn't change by one red cent: it can still be had for $30,700. The XLT needs $33,400 (a $400 price bump), the Limited goes for $41,300 (a not insignificant $2,900 price increase), and the Sport requires $43,300 (a $200 increase). That new Platinum model goes where no Explorer MSRP has gone before, beginning at $52,600 (*all prices are subject to an $895 destination charge). However, since Ford has put almost everything in it, you can't jack the price up too much further unless you lose your mind in the accessories catalog. You can quickly head that way lower down the order, though. The Limited's price jump appears to be due to the voice-activated navigation system, which comes standard; it was formerly part of a $2,600 option package. The Limited goes up by just $995 when specced with the new 2.3-liter EcoBoost, which raises the power over the 2.0-liter EcoBoost it replaces to 270 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, but doesn't incur any fuel economy penalty. All-wheel drive tacks on another $2,000, safety features like active park assist and lane departure warning come as part of $3,000 Equipment Group A, and you'll still have another three pages of options to get through. On the other hand, if you just want to get your family bundle into an Explorer without spending a bundle, the base model doesn't offer any packages and only has one option over $200. Let the research begin.
Ford exec downplays idea of aluminum-intensive cars
Thu, Jan 15 2015Ford certainly made waves when it rolled out the all-new 2015 F-150 made primarily out of aluminum. But while trimming weight off its vehicles is a top priority for the Detroit automaker, we shouldn't expect the lightweight metal to be used as widely on passenger cars as it has been on its new pickup. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress on Wednesday, top Ford exec Joe Hinrichs said that using aluminum in passenger cars isn't as beneficial as it is in trucks – primarily because the weight savings isn't as dramatic, or as deeply needed. Though improved fuel economy is certainly one advantage of aluminum construction in a truck like the F-150, low prices at the pump have prompted Ford to highlight another advantage, and that's capability: With less weight on its own, a lighter-weight truck can carry and tow more than a heavier one, because it all comes down to combined weight ratings. Ford is expected to make the new F-Series Super Duty largely out of aluminum for the same reasons, and we wouldn't be surprised to see the next Expedition use the material as well. But while certain components in Ford passenger cars will be made of aluminum, we shouldn't expect entire chassis and bodywork assemblies to use the material as extensively as on the F-150, or on more upscale passenger cars from the likes of Audi or Jaguar. Dearborn is, however, investing in other lightweight materials. It has a joint venture with Dow Chemical to put carbon fiber into mass production, much as BMW has with its i3. The Blue Oval will use a combination of carbon and aluminum on its 2017 GT supercar, and it has stripped weight by removing amenities from the 2016 Mustang GT350R, but apparently neither is a method Ford can practically apply to its volume models.

New 2020 Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator recalled for minor safety issues
Wed, Aug 7 2019Ford has announced a small recall on 2020 Explorers and 2020 Lincoln Aviators. Select units might be missing a manual park release cover, while others might have instrument clusters stuck in Factory Mode. The recall affects 14,135 SUVs in total. While a vehicle is in production in a manufacturing facility, Ford might put them in what is known as Factory Mode to help reduce battery drain. Affecting the instrument cluster, this mode disables warning alerts, warning chimes, and does not show the PRNDL gear selector display. Ford says one vehicle was in an accident at a production facility as a result of the issue, but nobody was injured. Separately, Ford found that some of these Explorers and Aviators might be lacking a manual park release cover. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards require a manual park release cover that is only removable with a tool. Without the cover, there is a very minor chance the manual park release could be accidentally actuated, which could allow the vehicle to move on its own. The recalls affect 13,896 vehicles in the U.S. and 239 in Canada. The Explorers were built between March 27, 2019, and July 24, 2019. The Aviators were built between April 10, 2019, and July 24, 2019. Owners can use Ford's recall number 19C06, and if affected, can take their vehicles in for fixes.
