2005 - Ford Excursion on 2040-cars
Laurel, Maryland, United States
We bought this Ex after a very long process of deciding we would only ever haul a travel trailer and never buy a fifth-wheel RV. So we treated this truck like we were gonna own it forever - it really has been quite a fantastic truck, and we LOVE it! But the inevitable happened: We bought a fifth-wheel. Now we have nothing to tow with the Ex, so it's on the sale block. As a part of treating it like we'd own it forever, I've been slowly tracking down & taking care of all those pesky things the 6.0L Power Stroke needs for longevity. At last check, the ECT/EOT delta was around 8-9*, and I sent for a Blackstone Oil report at every oil change. EGR Delete Sinister Diesel coolant filter SCT Tuner DashBoss RiffRaff turbo sleeves Gauges: fuel pressure, turbo boost, EGT Turbo rebuilt by Tim's Turbos Blue Spring Upgrade Turbo oil supply upgrade All-metal turbo pipes Also...we just put on brand new tires, and the rear wheels are mostly rebuilt (caliper, bearings, seals, dust shields). This is a VERY clean truck, and I'm continuing to make it CLEANER for you - the new owner! It has the "typical" East Coast underbody rusting, but nothing unusual. I have started grinding it down and It is my daily driver, so the current ticker of just under 123K will continue to increase until it sells (unless I can get back on the motorcycle in the meantime)... Here's a list of the options - I've tried to list them all, but I may have missed one or two. (Please note, the Harley-Davidson steering wheel cover doesn't convey.) all leather seating heated, power driver & passenger seats fold-down rear seat Captain's Chairs seating option 6-CD changer DVD player with wireless headsets (I never used them - I guess they work) reverse collision warning heated, extendable mirrors rear heater/AC climate control tow package (brake controller included)

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
Ford worker files for UAW dues refund, stirs right-to-work debate
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Let's start with some history: Ford's Dearborn truck plant, part of the company's massive River Rouge complex, was the center of a strike in 1941 that led to Ford signing the first "closed shop" agreement in the industry. The agreement obliged every worker at the plant to be a dues-paying member of the United Auto Workers. In December 2012, however, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation making Michigan a right-to-work state, which outlawed closed shops. The new law gave workers the right to opt out of union membership and stop paying dues even if they were still covered by union activities like collective bargaining. For employees at the Dearborn plant, the right-to-work clauses take effect at the end of their current contract in 2015.
As a tool-and-die maker at Ford's Dearborn plant for 16 years, Todd Lemire pays dues to the UAW - about two hours' salary per month. However, he's been unhappy with the UAW's support of the Democratic party, and not wanting to wait until next year to be out of the UAW entirely he invoked his Beck Rights, which state that a non-member of a union does not have to pay dues to support non-core activities, such as political spending. But Lemire wasn't happy that Ford still subtracted the total amount of dues, with the UAW reimbursing the difference, so he filed suit with the National Labor Relations Board, feeling that the workaround violates his rights.
Lemire's case is just a week old, so it could be a while before a resolution. Yet, as September 15, 2015 draws near and the right-to-work laws take full effect for Michigan workers - and others wonder whether it could help revitalize the state's manufacturing base - a case like this adds more fuel to the discussion.
Introducing the 1965 Ford Mustang
Sat, 24 Aug 2013Put on your space suits and diving bell helmets, for it's time to step into a time capsule. The 50th anniversary of a historic model, like, say, the Porsche 911 this year, is certain to bring flights of nostalgia. This historical trip with the 1965 Mustang, though - preliminary hype for next year's anniversary, we know - is a swell museum exhibit for anyone who enjoys bygone days of the automobile.
Lee Iaccoca gave a speech to motoring journalists on April 1, 1964 at the New York World's Fair to introduce a sporty car for younger drivers. His opening line: "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to one of the proudest moments of our lives." The company was so excited by what it had made that the Mustang was Ford's first "International Press Introduction," being introduced to some 2,000 journos around the world on the same day in the US and 11 European cities. Even through its difficult points, no one at the time could have known how well the Mustang would acquit that pride.
After the intro, the press drove Mustangs 750 miles from New York to Dearborn, MI, reading press kits that touted features like the "vertical, three-sectional taillights/turn signals," "170" six-cylinder engine with 101 horsepower and the available Cruise-O-Matic transmission.
