I've owned this truck since 2009. It runs perfectly and is very comfortable to drive.

In 2010 I added a Volo Fuel enhancement computer to the truck giving it an extra 6 miles to the gallon. This truck will give you 20-22 miles per gallon. Also, a professionally built hydrogen generator is installed, but not turned on (the fuse is taken out which supplies its power). The acrylic casing on the steel plate container for the generator is cracked from water freezing in it. The truck runs perfectly with the generator switched off. A new steel plate container will cost about $40.00. Before my casing cracked, I was getting 24-27 miles per gallon with the hydrogen generator working its magic. That is unheard of gas mileage in any truck. If you've never heard of the benefits of a hydrogen generator, please look it up. They are completely safe and will save you tons of money at the gas pump. Again, the truck has been running perfectly fine with only the Volo Fuel Enhancement Chip and no hydrogen generator for the last year. You will get at least 20 miles to the gallon with 89 octane. I only use Mobil 1 fully synthetic oil, which has been changed every 5000 miles. I had a full service at the Elizabethtown, KY Ford dealership last year where I got all new plugs, plug wires and all fluids changed. The tires are practically brand new. I purchased them in June, 2013 (they are 60,000 mile tires with just over 4,000 miles on them). I only drive this truck when I need to go to town for something. I walk to work, so the truck hardly gets any miles put on it. It is a 2004 model with just over 133,160 miles. Last year, I had Autosound of Elizabethtown install a Remote Started on the truck. It works perfectly.
 

There is no deferred maintenance on my truck.  It is in perfect running condition all the way around.  No Rust.  There are several hairline scratches and some small scuff marks around the body, but the paint is in very good condition in my opinion.  No replacement of any transfer case or differential fluids.  I just had the front Left side wheel bearing replaced Nov, 2013.  Both front brakes were replaced and the rotors were redone Nov, 2013.  Replace Front Right Wheel Bearing on 5/5/11.  Brand New MAXX-65N Battery on 8/13/13.  Remanufactured Alternator (P8499) on 8/9/13.

The EFIE computer's website is: http://voloperformance.com/  There you can read about the FS2 HHO Chip that I installed.

The HHO Kit is from: http://www.alternativempg.com/  There you can read about the HHO Kit that I installed.  I purchased the Fuel Cell, Reservoir Tank, and Installation Kit.  I purchased an amp meter and installed it myself.  I am skilled in electronics and you can inspect the installation yourself and see that it is a quality job.  In order to work, first, a new Fuel Cell will have to be purchased ($69.00 now on their website).  To run the unit, distilled water and either sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide (KOH) needs to be used.  I used only KOH which is a much better catalyst and it is clean.  I did not add alcohol to the fluid last season and the water in the fuel cell froze and cracked the acrylic.  I was getting 24 mpg with 89 test and 26 mpg with 93.

The only issue that I have with the truck is that sometimes the gear lever sticks in park and you have to shut off the truck, put it in neutral, restart it and put in gear. It works every time. It's not a transmission issue. I had the dealership look at it and they said that the wiring harness for the remote starter (which runs up the steering wheel wire harness) was pulling on the wire for the lever release mechanism. It only affects it sometimes, not all the time, and it does not impede your ability to start the truck. The interior of the truck is in very good condition, with normal seat wear. The arm rest cover is starting to peel back as you can see in my pictures. Otherwise, the interior is very nice. The truck is a gem and runs perfectly. Please call me and set up a time to come and take a test drive. The Kelly Blue Book for this car in the condition that it is in is $9600-$9900.

Trucks, SUVs drive U.S. October new vehicle sales

Wed, Nov 1 2017

DETROIT — Major automakers posted mixed U.S. new vehicle sales in October on Wednesday, though America's love affair with high-margin pickup trucks and SUVs remained in full bloom as larger, pricier vehicles fared better than passenger cars. Auto industry publication WardsAuto put the seasonally-adjusted annualized rate (SAAR) for light vehicle sales in October at a robust level of 18 million units. But after a long boom cycle, carmakers are still ill-prepared for the slight decline in sales anticipated for full-year 2017 and have taken too few steps to trim production, said Doug Mehl, a partner in consultancy A.T. Kearney's automotive practice. "When you make a new vehicle, you have volume assumptions tagged to it, and who wants to be the guy who says, 'I'm going to make less of this really cool model'?" Mehl said. "But eventually the market is the reality, and it's going to force companies one way or other here." General Motors GM reported a sales drop of 2.2 percent for the month, with consumer sales down 6.6 percent. But sales of high-margin pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles and crossovers all rose. GM also cut its inventory of unsold vehicles — a source of concern for the market — slightly. The automaker has worked to reduce its volume of excess inventory, including through significant production shutdowns in the third quarter. GM had said its inventory would rise in October. "We are heading into the fourth quarter with good momentum, thanks to a strong U.S. economy and very strong pickup and crossover sales," said Kurt McNeil, GM vice president for U.S. sales operations. GM slightly reduced consumer discounts as a percentage of average transaction prices to 13.5 percent, from 13.7 percent in the third quarter. Industry experts believe consumer discounts above 10 percent of the average transaction price are unhealthy as they erode resale values and are unsustainable in the long term. Consultants J.D. Power and LMC said last week that based on preliminary October sales numbers, discounts have exceeded 10 percent in 15 of the past 16 months. Ford The U.S. auto industry posted record sales of 17.55 million vehicles in 2016. New sales received a strong boost in September as consumers replaced vehicles damaged in southeast Texas by Hurricane Harvey the previous month. Full-year 2017 sales are expected to be slightly lower than 2016.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
