This sport trac runs great it has never failed to start even when it's been -40 in the winter. It has just had it's regular maintenance items replaced and it's ready to go. Things that were just done were new plugs, wires, fuel filter, battery, idle air control, k&n air filter, oil change and filter. The truck runs, shifts and 4x4 work great. The truck also had a. 3" body lift installed to accommodate the 33" nitro terra grappler tires and the 18x9 fuel contrast cut wheels. The tires have about 3000 miles on them and have tons of life left. Also installed was a Reese towing package that is heavy duty. The truck came loaded from the factory and also came with the aluminum flip out bed extender and hard flip able tonneau cover. An in dash Sony touch screen DVD player has replaced the factory stereo. As for things this truck needs it is minor but feel they should be addressed. The trucks A/C does work great however when the body lift way installed the company cut a line and it needs replaced. Worked great up until that though. It's not a big deal at all. The front tie rods need replaced as they are worn and rattle a bit when hitting bumps on the road. And lastly the rear window switch stopped working. I never rolled down back window anyway so I didn't replace it. Everything else on the truck to my knowledge works great and has no issues. As for exterior, the truck does have normal little scratches that would be expected on a used vehicle. The rear bumper has a gash in it next to the hitch from previous owner and windshield has a rock chip on passenger side which has been repaired so it won't crack or anything. If you have any questions feel free to ask.. Thanks

Hertz Penske GT latest hot Ford Mustang at the rental counter

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

Just a couple days after announcing the resurrection of its Rent-A-Racer program, Hertz has revealed a new car being added to its Adrenalin Collection of rental cars. To signify its new partnership with Penske Racing in NASCAR, Hertz introduced a limited-edition version of the Ford Mustang GT, officially called the Hertz Penske GT, at last weekend's NASCAR races in Daytona. If you're like us, the rental specials remind with the original 1966 Shelby GT350-H and its later homage, the 2006 Shelby GT-H.
Visually, the Hertz Penske GT starts out with a black and yellow paint and graphics scheme as well as identifying badges, and Hertz has raided the Mustang parts bin for bits and bobs like a Boss 302 front splitter and Shelby GT500 rear valence to give the coupe its own unique look. The model has also receives performance improvements including upgraded suspension and exhaust, Brembo brakes, a retuned ECU and Recaro bucket seats. As a bonus, Penske Racing's Nationwide Series No. 22 Ford Mustang has been painted to match the new Hertz Penske GT. Other cars in the Hertz Adrenaline Collection include the standard version of the Ford Mustang GT, Chevrolet Camaro SS, Chevrolet Corvette convertible and Dodge Challenger R/T. Scroll down for the official press release for the Hertz Penske GT, or you can always head to your local Hertz airport location to see if they have one on the lot.

J Mays' legacy

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

Mays is by far not the first designer to use heritage design cues in his work.
The announcement that J Mays will be leaving his chief creative officer role at Ford Motor Company on January 1 ends a 13-year run in one of the industry's top design roles. While best known for having a hand in reborn classics like the Volkswagen New Beetle, Ford Mustang and Thunderbird (above), Mays' legacy is more complicated and nuanced than being considered the father of what is known as "retrofuturism".

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost

Fri, 09 May 2014

I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.
