This 2000 Ford Explorer XLT from Texas drives great... Inspected through October-2014. Cold dual AC, factory CD sound system, had an engine/trans replacement 80K ago. High miles, but suspension and steering is tight, brakes are strong, the XLT tracks down the road just right. Good battery. 50% mixed tires are balanced. There are no fluid leaks, no exhaust leaks, engine compartment is clean, hood-shock doesn't work so prop it with a stick (included!). Interior and exterior is good for the year, original exterior paint clear-coat and chrome is almost like new. Never smoked in, no evidence of pets, the carpets are full, fresh and clean, leather is good except for two front seat bottoms wear & tear. Both front seats are power and work properly. Power windows all work. Center armrest is worn... needs recovering. Seat belts are good. Back-up sensors work. Rear compartment shows no wear, cover is present, headliner is just right, no sagging. Dark tint second row back. Spare, jack, Haynes repair manual, rear wiper and ball hitch are present (Saris bike rack pictured is not included in this auction, but I will include another bike rack if buyer wants). Also front floor mats. Fog lights. All interior and exterior lights are working. Cruise does not work. There is a small center vertical windshield crack which does not affect vision. The drivers door has a hard-to see dent. Paint is not broken. Overall, the XLT should give a lot more miles safely and at 20-24 mpg. Ready for next oil change.
Now, please read this carefully: The transmission engages all gears, but shifting from 2nd to 3rd it slips. When the accelerator is tapped during the slippage, the third gear engages properly. This the way I drive it. Reading the blogs it seems this is a common problem for Explorers in different degrees. Could be a code, or anything. I do not know, I am not a mechanic. Always starts first turn and drives strong and safe, good tires and brakes, with ice cold dual air and a good sound system.
This is an authentic no-reserve auction on eBay and the high bidder gets the XLT. If you do not have a PayPal account, do not bid. If you cannot pay the $400 deposit via PayPal within 24 hours of auction close, do not bid. If you cannot pay the balance in cash within 7 days of auction close, do not bid. The XLT is sold as is-where is with no warranty, implied or otherwise. I have title in hand and now let's get it started...Bid early and bid carefully and bid often...GOOD LUCK & HAPPY BIDDING!!

Ford won't be releasing GT500 lap times for the 'Ring, or any other car
Wed, 27 Nov 2013Trucks have towing capacity, EVs have driving range and performance cars have Nürburgring lap times. What do all three have in common? They should all be taken with a grain of salt. Currently, there is no sanctioned way to record lap times or verify production-spec cars - a lesson we recently learned with the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo - and until there is a way to do so (and there probably never will be), we'll never officially know the actual time it took for Ford to lap the 'Ring with its ultra-powerful Shelby GT500.
After posting a Ford-made video of a 2013 GT500 running around the 'Ring, the guys over at SVTPerformance.com (an enthusiasts forum not affiliated with Ford or SVT) wanted more answers. They got in touch with Ford's Global Performance Vehicle Chief Engineer Jamal Hameedi, who said until there is a way to verify the times and inspect the cars, Ford will not get involved with lap-time wars. In the email, Hameedi pointed out that the 'Ring is a useful tool in that it allows a wide spectrum of track conditions, but until there is a governed way to record times, there is no way to accurately compare cars head-to-head.
And as much as some may not like it, Hameedi speaks the truth. It really isn't possible to compare times from one car to another, unless those cars were lapping the same track at the same time with the same driver. Not that any of this means there won't be continuous wars by fans and manufacturers alike... in other words, feel free to voice your opinions in the Comments below.
Automakers' rush on aluminum may result in shortage
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Aluminum is the new buzzword in the automotive industry. The latest Range Rover and Range Rover Sport both take advantage of the lightweight material to shave huge amounts of body fat (only it's called "aluminium" over there). Audi and Jaguar have been using the stuff for years in their A8 and XJ, respectively, and now, aluminum is going mainstream, arriving on the 2015 Ford F-150.
While we're excited to see aluminum make an impact outside the premium market, its widespread adoption apparently won't come without some problems, notably in terms of supply. "There isn't an automotive manufacturer that makes vehicles in North America that we're not talking to," Tom Boney, of Novelis, the largest global supplier of aluminum sheetmetal, told The Detroit News.
According to Boney, Ford's use of aluminum on such a large scale has forced auto manufacturers in "every boardroom" to reconsider their plans following the F-150's unveiling, for one simple reason: there's not exactly enough aluminum to go around, at least in the short term. The auto industry presently only accounts for six percent of the aluminum sheet produced, but as the material is adopted by more and more brands, that figure is expected to swell to 25 percent within the next six years.
Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move
Tue, Dec 6 2016With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.
