 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.

Ford blamed in drug mule lawsuit

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

If a college student is caught smuggling drugs across the border, one might think the kid got what was coming to him. But when a Mexican student at the University of Texas in El Paso was caught by Border Patrol agents with duffel bags filled with marijuana in his trunk, the man used a classic excuse: He claimed they weren't his.
While a claim like that is almost unbelievable, Ricardo Magallanes, the student, is now suing Ford for handling its vehicles' key codes negligently enough to allow drug smugglers to break into his Ford Focus and stash the drugs, The Daily Caller reports. The twist here is that four other people who lived in Juarez and worked in El Paso were involved in the same type of scheme - allegedly unwittingly, just like Magallanes - and all the cars were Fords except one model from General Motors. FBI agents also found an employee at a Dallas Ford dealership that had accessed the key codes to all four of the cannabis-stuffed Fords.
While we all may not own Fords, the case still causes us slight paranoia. We'll definitely be checking our trunks before we cross any more international borders.

Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years

Wed, 01 May 2013

While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."
