 This is an awesome vehicle that I purchased for hunting, fishing and camping.  Unfortunately, family and business needs come first and I reluctantly have to part with this rig.  I purchased this truck with 150k miles on it and have taken meticulous care of it since.  It came with the EGR Delete kit, which is a costly but important modification for this year of the 6.0, and can increase the life of this engine dramatically.  It also already had the 4" turbo-back exhaust system and Bullydog cold air intake.  I have installed the "blue spring" fuel pressure regulator, which was another issue with these engines that caused them to not get enough fuel when under load.  I have a Bullydog Power Pup 10-stage programmer I will also include for the successful bidder.   The wheels are 18" Chrome plated and the tires are 325/65 Firestone Destination ATs with decent tread left.

This truck is a BRUTE, as illustrated by the heavy duty bumper guard up front, made of 1/4" steel.  I recently replaced the front hub assemblies and rotors, ($1800!!!) but otherwise it has been bulletproof.  4x4 works smoothly.  The truck was a Florida vehicle until last winter, but even though it is tagged with Minnesota plates, it still has seen very little road salt.  It's very clean.  I've owned 9 Powerstroke diesels and this is my sixth 6.0.  I know how to take care of them and I know their strengths and weaknesses.  This is a good one.  I would confidently take this truck anywhere.  I have another Powerstroke 6.0 pickup that is a "project" truck for me and it doesn't run as smooth as this one, but I need to keep a truck and don't need the SUV.

The steering is a little sloppy, as it needs some new rod ends, but it's aligned and doesn't dog track or anything.  The front bumper is the only real flaw on the truck, as the passenger side has a little dent on it.  If that was replaced, the body would be 99% straight.  The interior is worn where it typically is, on the drivers' seat, but otherwise just normal wear and tear.  Not a lot of stains, no rips, etc.  I will upload better interior pics or email them upon request.  I haven't had a chance to get pics during daylight since deciding to sell it.

"Subtle" would not be a good word to describe this truck.  It's loud and it stands out.  My kids named it "Big E" and their class mates think it's "cool". 

I buy on Ebay, but not sold a lot, so I'm a little out of my comfort zone.  I will make one last "road trip" in this rig if you cannot pick this truck up, for a negotiated amount. 

 This is really a special interest vehicle and needs to go to someone that is specifically looking for this special American muscle!

In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Green Editor John Beltz Snyder. They address a couple interesting news topics, including an upcoming Ford pickup that's smaller than the Ranger, as well as a future electrified Dodge Challenger. They also opine about the new Honda Urban EV prototype that's scheduled to debut at the Geneva Motor Show. Then they talk about the cars they've been driving, including the new Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid, Volvo V60 and Audi A6.

Ward's calls out Ford's EcoBoost engines for their crummy fuel economy

Thu, Jan 8 2015

With a name like EcoBoost, one might expect Ford's line of turbocharged engines to be somewhat, um, economical. In other words, replacing displacement with a turbocharger is supposed to deliver better fuel economy. Based on the experience time and time again of multiple Autoblog editors, your author included, this is simply not the case. Now, Ward's is calling out the cruddy efficiency numbers of Ford's EcoBoost line of engines. The column dresses down not just the new 2.7-liter V6 of the 2015 F-150, but also the 2.3-liter of the Mustang, the 1.5-liter from the Fusion and the 3.2-liter PowerStroke diesel found in the Transit, while also explaining why just one Ford engine was named to Ward's 10 Best Engines list. In its testing of all four engines, Ward's editors never came even remotely close to matching the 2.7's claimed 26 miles per gallon (for two-wheel-drive models), with the truck's computer indicating between 17.6 and 19 mpg over a 250-odd-mile run. Calculating the fuel economy manually revealed an even more depressing 15.6 miles per gallon. Criticisms with the 2.3-liter four-cylinder focused on its strange soundtrack, although it was business as usual with the 1.5-liter and 3.2 diesel, with Ward's criticizing the fuel economy of both engines. The 1.5, which Ward's claims is sold as a hybrid alternative, failed to get over 30 miles per gallon, while the five-cylinder turbodiesel's figures couldn't stand up against FCA's 3.0-liter EcoDiesel. The entire column really is worth a read, especially if you were disappointed in Ward's decision to only salute Ford's three-cylinder EcoBoost while shunning the rest of the company's new turbocharged mills.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets

Tue, Jul 17 2018

Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
