2001 Ford Excursion turbo diesel 4x4 - clean title - non smoker car
Rare excursion model - seats 9, three rows of cloth seats and has the turbo diesel motor and 4x4. Never seen another one like it. I searched for months for this vehicle and finally found it on Ebay. I purchased this Excursion from Ebay in 2006 with 117,000 miles, flew out to Texas and drove it back to California. Has never given me any problems and has received routine maintenance that I did myself. I don't trust other shops, I wanted to see the exact oil going into my engine. 7.3 powerstroke turbo diesel with 215,700 miles - only full synthetic oil used, very heavy duty Ranch Hand front bumper Rebuilt automatic transmission with 2,000 miles, transmission upgraded with billet torque converter, heavy duty bands, and shift kit, new rear main seal - wasn't leaking but while the transmission was out - why not put a new one in, Slotted brake rotors and brake pads have a lot of life left. Tow package and electric brake controller, XLT model with gray cloth seats with no rips or tears, interior is in excellent shape, hexo floor mats on all the rows and a rear cargo mat since I've owned the car to protect the carpet, carpet is stain free and in great shape, original floor mats under hexo mats, power windows, a/c works, heater, cd and tape deck, cold air intake with cleanable aem pro 7 filter and a aem pro dry filter so you can have one clean while cleaning the other, fuel injection wire harness was replaced at 204,000 miles along with the glow plugs, water pump/thermostat was replaced at 190,000 miles, Goodyear Duratrac E rated tires with 3/4 tread, aftermarket 17" wheels, four wheel drive works great, I switched out the factory vacuum hubs for Warn manual hubs that always work when you need them to. Only issue with car is the interior lights don't turn on when you open the doors, the interior lights work but not automatically when you open a door, just never got around to checking into it. Small scrape/dent on passenger side front fender, 2 small dings on front edge of the passenger side front door. Rear door hatch lock is getting weak because it sometimes locks and sometimes doesn't, Steering is a little loose but I'm sure good for a 215,000 mile car, small chips on hood, these things you can see in the pictures, Will be sad to see it go - any questions feel free to ask - I have bought a lot of cars from Ebay and that is why I have told you every little thing about the car. Car has original owners manual and haynes manual, when I bought the car I was given one key and key fob remote, I purchased another key and key fob remote but never programmed the remote. |

VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.

Ford Ka Concept shown in Brazil, could enter production by 2014
Wed, 13 Nov 2013The Ford Ka (pronounce it like a Bostonian saying "car") is the Blue Oval's sub-Fiesta offering in a number of markets that aren't North America. It's been a staple in Europe since it launched in 1996 and in South America since 1997, where it's enjoyed quite a bit of popularity as an affordable, efficient city car.
The European and South American models grew apart over the years, until Europe ended up with a Fiesta-inspired car and Brazil retained a more evolved version of the original Ka's styling. With this Ka Concept, which is really a concept in name only, Ford is previewing a Ka not just for the European market, but as the brand's new, global small car. With city car sales expected to grow dramatically in coming years and the ever increasing price of fuel, Ford's move to get a new, competitive car into the market on a global level isn't surprising.
Wearing Ford's new, familial grille, the Ka Concept features the same crisp, sculpted sheetmetal that's adorned the Fusion and Fiesta. Developed in-house by Ford Brazil, a production version could launch by 2014, according to Ford's press release. It's unclear what engines will sit under this car's hood, although we'd bet the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Fiesta will be available at some point.
