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

Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses

Wed, 25 Jul 2012

Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.

Ford bringing 10 custom Transit Connects to SEMA

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

With 57 vehicles planned for its SEMA display, it comes as little surprise that Ford has plenty of teasers for its show cars. After showing us what it has in store for the Mustang, Fiesta and Focus ST, now we're getting a look at some of the custom creations based on the redesigned 2014 Transit Connect van.
These nine Transit Connects are decked out to various degrees of customization, but our favorite might be the chopped and lowered Transit Connect from Mob Steel (shown above), which has a similar slammed stance that we see on some custom VW Buses. On the opposite extreme, LGE & CTS Motorsports has jacked up a Transit Connect to make a Cross Country cruiser that we wouldn't mind taking on a road trip.
There are seven other teasers from various companies, and you can check them all out in the gallery above or in the press release below. Ford is also promising a tenth Transit Connect for SEMA, so stay tuned for that as well.

These horribly misguided front-drive design studies nearly became the Mustang

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

As we eagerly await the unveiling of the all-new sixth-generation Mustang, Ford has been giving us some great information over the past few months showing what has gone into shaping its venerable pony car. As many changes as the Mustang has gone through in its 50 years, though, it appears the fourth-gen model played a decisive and pivotal role in the car's future.
As is part of Mustang lore, the front-wheel drive Ford Probe was originally developed as a next-generation Mustang in the Eighties before cooler heads prevailed. The Blue Oval has just released a handful of images showing how bad things could have been - including a full-scale clay model of a front-wheel-drive Mustang (shown above). Fortunately, the FWD Mustang plan was scrapped and Ford went to work designing a rear-wheel-drive replacement for the Fox Body Mustang, with three design studies making it far enough to become full-scale models. These include the soft "Bruce Jenner" Mustang, the over-the-top "Rambo" Mustang and the middle-ground "Arnold Schwarzenegger" Mustang, which finally became the basis for the 1994 'Stang.
By early 1991, the design language of the fourth-generation Mustang had been worked out, and the rest, they say, is history. Scroll down for the fascinating press release telling the story of the fourth-gen Mustang, and be sure to check out the gallery of horribly misguided sketches and various design studies that were all on the table in the late 1980s.
