Ultimate Towing And Family Trip Excursion - Many Add-ons on 2040-cars
Hopkins, Minnesota, United States
2005 Excursion Eddie Bauer 6.0 Diesel White with low mileage and $12,000 in upgrades.
This Excursion was ordered by the owner of a dealership in North Dakota as one of the last Ford Excursions off the line before they stopped making them (they dont make them any newer than this vehicle). He used it sparingly for several years and I purchased it from him in 2010 and have taken it on several trips towing our camper. Other than those trips I have not really towed much with it. It didnt even go into service until 2007 and was under warranty when I purchased it. I am the first owner from the dealership. Since 2010 then I have taken extremely good care of the vehicle and upgraded the parts of the vehicle that were lacking. This is truly how the vehicle should have come from the factory as Stock. It has been setup to be the ultimate Excursion Tow Vehicle and family trip vehicle. This is a one of a kind vehicle that is perfect for the family that wants to tow a camper or boat in a rock solid towing platform plus all the comforts of a luxury vehicle. 2005 Excursion Diesels in great condition and under 100k miles (which is really just getting the engine broken in) are going for around 25-30k. Consider that in addition to belonging to this group I have also added the following upgrades which have cost over 12k and at the same time I have left the engine stock never having modified it in any way - so no worries that it was abused. They do not make these vehicles anymore and there is really nothing like it - I assume if you are viewing this you already know this fact. Some key facts: 2005 Ford Excursion Eddie Bauer Towing Package 4x4 Heated Mirrors Entertainment Package Oxford White with Medium Parchment Leather Interior Upgrades: Set of 5 (full size spare) 285/75 R16 Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor Pro Grade (these are stiff sidewalls and the absolute best for towing) V/B suspension upgrade which gives it about a 2 inch lift. Rear leaf springs use a F350 leaf on the bottom of the stack which gives the back about a half inch more but is perfect for towing heavy loads. High output alternator Rancho RS 9000xl adjustable shocks Helwig Sway Bar Bullet Proof Diesel upgrade FICM RedHead Steering gear (to remove the play in the Ford Truck Steering). New soundsystem with Kenwood double din stereo and navigation. new speakers and sub. $1000 of soundproofing and a backup camera. This was over 5k and was installed less than a year ago Engine compartment Hood Pad Upgraded door Seal Mod (door seals are rock solid) Prodigy Brake Controller |

Ford car-camo artist works his craft on Australia's new Falcon XR8
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Ford is among the kings of concealment when it comes to test cars. On one recent Mustang SVT mule, the automaker went to the extreme of putting baffles over the exhausts to hide how many there were. Sounds like a lot of work, right? In a new video, the Blue Oval has decided to take fans behind the scenes to show them what it takes to camouflage a prototype. In this case the subject was the recently unveiled 2014 Falcon XR8 for Australia.
Ford's prototype build coordinator Down Under has the very appropriate name of Neil Trickey, and it's his job to obfuscate the important bits of test cars to keep them out of spy shooters' camera lenses. Trickey calls his job a "dark art," and he shows off some of the tricks of his trade in the video. It turns out that the fabric we often see on mules is a type of lycra, but his team isn't above getting out a can of spray paint to conceal parts, too.
Scroll down to watch a video about a man who you probably wish could be a little worse at his job.
Evo grabs Ford's Fiesta R5 rally car by the scruff
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Evo and host Henry Catchpole were thinking of excuses reasons to borrow the bonkers Ford Fiesta R5 rally car for a day or two, when it struck them: the car is street legal. With access to the R5, some of the world's most beautiful driving roads in the English Lake Country nearby, and a handy video crewing hanging around, the plan seemed to write itself.
Based on the resulting video, it was a good plan. Without spoiling the video for you - something we can't really do in text as the best part is listening to the rally car run - Catchpole finds the Fiesta to be sublimely quick and massively satisfying. Even taking the car for a spin on a pseudo rally stage, after leaving the English countryside, does nothing but add to his assessment of the beastly little Ford. Scroll on below to see for yourself, and enjoy the ride.
Ford builds one-off 50th anniversary Mustang Convertible for charity
Thu, 08 May 2014At the New York Auto Show this year, Ford revealed a special-edition Mustang to honor the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples will be made, all of them fixed-roof coupes. But the Blue Oval automaker has just announced that it's also building a single 50 Years edition convertible that it will raffled off for charity.
The first production example of the new Mustang Convertible to roll off the line this fall, this one-off will pack many of the features on the 50 Years coupe, including its white paintjob, chrome trim, aluminum dashboard, two-tone upholstery, contrast stitching, special 19-inch wheels and special-edition badging throughout.
This unique cabrio will also be fitted with a special performance pack including Pirelli PZero rubber, Brembo brakes and a limited-slip differential to help get the 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque from the 5.0-liter V8 through the six-speed manual transmission and down to the road. It'll also feature a serial plaque with the number 0001 of 0001 and chairman Bill Ford's signature.
