We bought our truck brand new with only 5 miles, and have taken meticulous care of it. All scheduled maintanence was done at the dealership (royal oak ford), when due. This truck is a great truck inside and out, roughly 60k (still drive it so will vary).

This is the XLT package extended cab (all four doors open) which includes: full chrome pkg, full towing package, the big 5.4L v8 triton, front tow hooks, AC, cd player, SYNC system, sirius radio, privacy glass, locking tailgate, 6.5 foot bed, auto headlights, fog lights, 3.55 limited slip axl, heavy duty 7200# gvwr, power everything even driver pedals, keyless entry and coded door entry, 18" chrome rims, side chrome tube step bars, we also added the full bed liner, rim locks, matching tint on the front side windows, and remote starter (great in winter)...

now for the condition, the truck runs and drives flawlessly, just like the day we bought it. The interior is extremely clean and still have some of the tags that we never pulled out when we bought it. The exterior is in great shape and is hand waxed twice a year, the paint has a great shine and sparkle in it. However, over the passenger side rear fender there is a gouge from some @#$% in the walmart parking lot when we were inside.. we recently got it estimated to fix and its in the $2-300 range.. not bad... it obviously doesnt effect the use, just sucks. other than that there is one shopping cart bump on the driver side, looks like it bumps and slid down the door a bit.... i notice it because I had it since new. the tires are gettin down there, there is a pic i included, but they should be replaced by the end of summer, they are the originals

Reason for selling: we just got a new f150 ( this time moved up to the super crew due to a baby one the way) other than that no reason to sell it, its been great. Never off road, towed with it 3 times, never had an accident, never had any major service, just tire rotation, oil changes, filter changes etc. this truck takes regular gas and e-85 ethanol flex fuel... has a full size spare underneath, and a mini computer inside that tells the temp, direction and gas mileage.

This truck is paid off and we are the original owners with a clean michigan title in hand and ready to transfer. We do not accept payments and expect payment in full for transfer. I realize you may have to set up financing, please have certified funds in hand before bidding. If final bid goes over $21,000 we will refund you $300 in cash to have the bed ding fixed, if bidding goes over $22,000 we will give you an additional refund of $300 to put towards a new set of tires, so just a little bonus for the high bidder

This truck in its current condition is valued at $22,500 blue book

Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?

Sun, 28 Jul 2013

Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.

Autoblog Minute: New car customer satisfaction down according to latest ACSI report

Wed, Sep 9 2015

Customers have spoken and automobile satisfaction is down in 2015. Autoblog's Chris McGraw reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Customers have spoken and automobile satisfaction is down in 2015. I'm Chris McGraw and this is your Autoblog Minute. The American Customer Satisfaction Index or ACSI released its updated numbers and according to the survey, new car buyer satisfaction is down for the third straight year. According to an ACSI press release, customer satisfaction with new automobiles has fallen 3.7 percent, to 79 on its 100-point scale. The ACSI report is based on over 4,100 customer surveys collected in the second quarter of 2015 Sitting at the top of the industry in customer satisfaction is Toyota's Lexus brand with a score of 84. Which was good enough to dethrone Mercedes-Benz, which fell 3% to a score of 83. Of the Big Three, Ford was the only domestic automaker to maintain overall customer satisfaction with its score of 81. General Motors slipped 3% to 79 and Fiat Chrysler had a 5% drop, registering a score of 75 out the possible 100. What's driving this trend of customer dissatisfaction? ASCI points to the rise in recalls and car prices. Where do you land on customer satisfaction spectrum? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts on the current state of car ownership and brand quality. For Autoblog, I'm Chris McGraw.

Automakers' rush on aluminum may result in shortage

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

Aluminum 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.
