I'm selling my 2005 Ford Excursion Eddie Bauer Edition 6.0 Liter Power Stroke Diesel 4x4. This SUV is in excellent condition and gets hand washed/waxed every other weekend. When i purchased this SUV from a fellow EBayer in 2011 I immediately upgraded the suspension with a BDS lift (3.5 inch) nothing crazy, and added BDS dual steering stabilizers. The ride and handling characteristics of this huge SUV improved 100%. It went from squirrely to tame immediately - while it was in the shop, I had the crew install a Banks Big Hoss IQ system (bankspower.com/products/show/41/35) which adds approximate up to 138HP and up to 231 lb-ft of torque. I always drive it on Econ mode as it gives plenty of power when i need it. I've never used the drag mode or the other settings (there are 6) because LA traffic doesn't let you do much! And i never felt the need for more when it was loaded for the few camping trips we were able to make - I would cruise the 101 freeway loaded up with gear at 85MPH - breeze. Car camping is a pleasure as we would use a queen size air mattress in the back and our 80lb Rottie still had room to stretch out at the foot of the bed! The roof rack holds 6 bright RIGID LED lights - Left, Right and Rear. I have a 20 inch Rigid LED bar that i was going to install, but never got around to it. The Garvin roof rack holds a Full size Shovel, Axe and a 48" High Lift Jack but these are not included in the sale but the mounts are. The lights are activated by a 6 bank switch plate - obviously only three are in use (see pics). I was going to have a custom floor mounted piece made for the switches, but again, i haven't been able to find a decent maker or stock type - I know they exist, just haven't found one - Jotto makes one but it needs to be rigged to fit without their 28" mounting plate. Heated Seats, Power seats for both driver and passenger - Tow Package, REar AC, Power rear vented back panel windows - Loaded. Rear camera, parking distance control......full steering wheel controls...etc. I added a Pioneer AVIC Z140 Stereo head unit w/ SAT (SiriusXM), Bluetooth, HD radio etc.I also added Pioneer speakers front and rear with a Rockford Fosgate Punch amp. I connect my IPhone5 directly or via BT and it works great - I use Pandora frequently - I connect it via the charger when i need to charge my iPhone or iPad. In the center console i installed a console combo safe from console vault - I lock up valuables with confidence. I can show u how to change the combo - takes about 2 seconds or set it to 000. 2k miles ago in October, i spent $4000 on new EGR cooler, new Oil cooler, a fuel pressure regulator seal, oil change, UC-9 flush and turbo inspection. Turbo is in excellent. All the work performed was at a large local dealership and is guaranteed. I have all of the receipts. The tires are in great shape maybe 75-80 % (Nitto Terra Graplers - 325-65-18) The wheels are in excellent shape as well. The Excursion rides and drives great - No Vibration or drifting - Stops straight under heavy braking and is not too rough - Actually rides well for such a beast. The transmission shifts perfectly and when i had the vehicle serviced - there were no issues. The windows are professionally tinted all around and the interior leather has held up well - no rips - just gentle use. The Excursion has 115557 miles on the clock which is rather low for a 9 year old Diesel or any Diesel for that matter - that's approximately 12000 miles a year. We're not desperate to sell at all- this isn't a fire sale nor are we dying for a few bucks - but my work now provides me with a company vehicle and that would make four vehicles to park and we just don't have space at the house - So the big girl has to go. Email me with any questions - i'll get back to you as soon as possible. I can take additional pictures if you need specific areas. But I have tried to show as much as possible, but can accommodate requests as best I can. This is a serious sale for a serious safe and clean vehicle. There is a small loan on the Excursion, however, for the sake of a quick and clean sale, I'm willing to pay off the note prior to any sale for ease of transfer IF AND ONLY IF A DEAL IS MADE and the funds are good and the transaction is 95% done. All funds must clear my bank before release is to take place - No shipping, no possession by anyone before funds clear through our bank and are unavailable for reverse wire return, etc. Cash is good as well. I have sold and purchased on EBAY for @ 15 years- All of my info is upfront and nothing exists in any gray areas, so i expect the same from the buyer. \ Hate to be a hard A**, but it only takes a few jerks to load up on caution. Thanks for looking - email me for further details. Good Luck

Check out Ford's fully automated self-parking car [w/video]

Wed, 09 Oct 2013

As automakers continue to find uses for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle technology, Ford of Europe has announced that it is developing a self-parking system for future use. More advanced than the Active Park Assist already offered in many Ford products, the new Fully Assisted Parking Aid can take full control of the vehicle and can navigate angled and perpendicular parking spots.
While today's Active Park Assist can only parallel park with the driver controlling the gas, brake and gear selection, Fully Assisted Parking Aid can operate steering, gas, brake and gear selection all while making sure the car is properly parked in the intended space. As with APA, the driver pushes a button to make the car look for a proper spot (at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour), and when an adequate space is located, the operator pushes another button (either inside the car or outside via remote control) for the car to park itself - the button must be pressed throughout the whole parking maneuver. Even though Ford says that the car can effect gear selections on its own, the system must still start from Neutral, and the automaker isn't saying whether the car can put itself into Park when done or put itself in Drive when the operator is ready to go.
Ford is also taking the opportunity to announce its new Obstacle Avoidance technology. This automated system is able to detect objects - including pedestrians - in the road, warn drivers of said objects and, if needed, stop and steer automatically to avoid hitting the obstacle. Both systems are still in the prototype phase, so there is no word as to when we could see either on a production vehicle.

Final 2015 Ford Edge performance and fuel economy data released

Fri, Feb 6 2015

Ford unveiled the brawny look and heap of new tech of the all-new 2015 Edge last summer, and confirmed some of the pricing in November. However, until now buyers couldn't be entirely sure what they are getting for that money in terms of power and fuel economy, but the Blue Oval is finally spilling all the beans. For customers looking for performance, the Edge Sport is the place to be with its stiffer suspension and plusher interior. The trim level uses a version of the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 found in the latest F-150, but in this case the engine is tuned to 315 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. That's a 10 percent jump in power and 25 percent improvement in torque compared to the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter V6 in the last-gen model, according to Ford. The mill should be a bit more useable too with peak twist coming on at 2,750 rpm, rather than 4,000 rpm in the previous Edge, and the Active Noise Cancellation system should keep it quiet inside, too. Front-wheel-drive versions of the Sport get EPA-estimated economy of 18 miles per gallon city, 27 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined. Opting for all-wheel drive reduces the figures to 17/24/20, respectively. Of course, not everyone is looking for the power of the Sport trim. In a first for Ford, the standard engine for the Edge is a 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder with 245 hp and 275 lb-ft. In front-wheel-drive form, it's rated at 20/30/24 mpg or with all-wheel drive at 20/28/23. For something in the middle the naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 brings 280 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque and carries EPA estimates of 18/26/21 with front-wheel drive or 17/25/20 when powering all four wheels. Every powertrain gets a six-speed automatic. Sales for the latest Edge begin this spring starting at $28,100, plus $895 destination on all models. Upgrading to the Sport pushes the price up to $38,100. Performance and Power: 2015 Ford Edge Sport Certified as Highest-Performing Edge Yet • 2015 Ford Edge Sport is the most powerful Edge yet, thanks to a 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 making 315 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque • All-new Edge Sport, re-engineered from the ground up, features special sport-tuned suspension, specific Sport styling for exterior and interior, and a long list of available driver-assist technologies • Scheduled to go on sale this spring, pricing for 2015 Ford Edge starts at $28,100; Edge Sport starts at $38,100 – only a $500 increase from 2014 DEARBORN, Mich., Feb.

Ford Transit production fires up, American Pickers among first takers

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

Not long ago, the History Channel showed a seemingly unending stream of World War II documentaries, but it made a switch a few years ago to include an increasing mix of 'reality' programming. American Pickers was one of the early attempts at this new formula, with cameras following hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz around the country in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as they tracked down collectibles and "rusty gold" for their Iowa shop, Antique Archeology. The show has since gone on to become one of the channel's most popular programs.
Starting in the new episode airing tonight, the affable hosts will swap their Benz for a 2015 Ford Transit, a nicely timed bit of marketing to coincide with the launch of the model's assembly at the Blue Oval's Kansas City Assembly Plant, which also kicks off this week. Ford is touting 2,000 new jobs created as part of its $1.1-billion investment in the plant.
No strangers to product placement, the guys from American Pickers say their switch away from the Sprinter is because they wanted to balance cargo capacity and fuel economy to make the most of their cross-country jaunts. They opted for the largest Transit available with a long wheelbase, extended body and high roof, giving them 487 cubic feet of cargo room. Hauling power comes from a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel engine with 190 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. Fittingly, the van wears the same Antique Archaeology logo over white paint as their old Sprinter.
