Up for auction is my 1995 Ford F-150 Lightning. Red in color and the standard gray and lightning seats with the flip up middle seat. The tuck runs strong, shifts firm, and has no unusual noises. It stops and drives great, will really hug a curve. It is a rust free truck and the paint overall has full color with a few minor rock chips here and there from 18 years of age. One thing that I think is pretty amazing, the wheels have no clearcoat peeling or hardly any chips and the decals are still bright with no cracking. The interior is in great shape with no tears, stains, or cracks in the cloth, vinyl, or plastic. The vent windows do not leak. It has had a roll pan added to the rear instead of the tube bumper, which has a hidden hitch behind the license plate. It also has keyless entry, to which two remotes are included. Tires are knee deep in tread. All electrical options work as they should. I bought the truck last September and have put about 4,000 miles on it. I have used to pull a trailer some, took it a couple of times to my cabin which is about 200 miles round trip, so I am confident that the truck could be driven anywhere. It appears that it has been maintained and took care of very well in its life previous to my ownership. The reason I think so is because of its condition, it has an actual Motorcraft Max battery on it, and when I got it, it had a oil change sticker from a Ford dealership. When I purchased it, I serviced and greased it, put on a new fuel filter, and changed plugs, cap and rotor. Its been in a garage or carport since I got it. Here are some things that were already done to it when I got it: electric fan, new exhaust run all the way to the back with turn downs, aftermarket pop-up sun roof which does NOT leak, in-dash fuel gauge, a-pillar triple gauge pod with a vacuum/boost gauge, and I am pretty sure a shift kit was put in the transmission. Other than that, it is bone stock down to the air filter. Here are the only flaws of the truck: If you are driving in town with stop and go traffic very much with no air flow through the condenser, the air conditioner does not cool well. I'm not sure if it has to do with the electric fan or if it has a vacuum leak somewhere, it has not bothered me enough to investigate it further. But if you are cruising, or don't have to stop for very long, it will freeze you out. It has a pretty good scratch that can be seen in the pictures on the tailgate from a trailer coming off the ball when I loaded a big wagon on the back of it last fall. I was pretty sick that day. The paint on the front bumper, grille, and roll pan are trying fade a little from the sun. Other than that, it is a very fun, usable truck that you could pull a fishing boat or small trailer or take it to a show. I really planned on gettng on the Hot Rod Power tour this year with it, but just didnt make it. You won't be disappointed in this truck! I reserve the right to end this auction at any time as it is for sale locally. The buyer is to contact me to arrange complete payment details within 24 hours of the auction end. I will not accept paypal on this item, cash or cashier's check only. Buyer is responsible for shipping. There is a chance I could deliver for whatever it would cost me to do it(fuel, motel, plane ticket, etc.) Contact me to see if it would be an option as I have done it before for other people. I'm sure I have left out a detail or two, so if you have ANY questions, please contact me by e-mail or by phone or text at 870-eight eight two-9670. Thanks for looking and good luck!

Ford F-450 claims best-in-class towing, company abandons practice of removing items to boost payload number
Tue, 02 Sep 2014The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.
Ford Recalls Nearly 700,000 Vehicles
Fri, May 9 2014Ford is recalling more than 692,000 Escape small SUVs and C-Max gas-electric hybrids in North America to fix two safety problems. The recalls cover vehicles from the 2013 and 2014 model years. Most of the Escapes have both problems. The first case covers 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles. A software glitch can stop the side curtain air bags from inflating in certain types of rollover crashes. The company says it has no reports of crashes or injuries. Dealers will reprogram the air bag control computer for free. About 65,000 of the recalled vehicles are C-Max models, and the rest are Escapes. Roughly 591,000 are in the U.S., with 3,500 more in U.S. territories. About 78,000 are in Canada and another 19,500 are in Mexico, Fordspokeswoman Kelli Felker said in an e-mail. There could be more vehicles affected in other markets, the company said. The affected Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011 through Feb. 14, 2014. The C-Max vehicles were built from Jan. 19, 2012, through Feb. 24, 2014. The second case covers about 692,700 Escapes. Exterior door handles can bind and stop the door from latching properly. This could allow doors to open while the SUVs are in motion. Dealers will inspect the handles and reposition them if needed. No crashes or injuries have been reported. About 583,000 are in the U.S. or its territories, with another 89,500 in Canada and 20,000 in Mexico. Ford said in this case, the problem may affect vehicles in other markets. All the North American Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011, through April 10, 2014. Recalls Ford escape
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.
