Ford F-150 Pick Up Truck Xlt Extended Cab 4 Door 2wd 8 Foot Long Bed Triton V8 on 2040-cars

Please read this entire description before bidding.  I am providing a lot of detail in this description so it is accurately described.  I have already purchased its replacement so there is no reserve.  I need to get it off my insurance policy ASAP.  It will be sold to the highest bidder when this auction closes.  Happy bidding and good luck. 

For sale is my Ford F-150 XLT pick up truck that has an extended cab, 8 foot bed, 2WD, and a rear sliding window.  Less than 25% of all trucks made have any of these options.  Less than 1% have all of them on the same vehicle.  It is very rare. 

It isn't my primary vehicle.  I've always had a pick up as a second vehicle to move the family to the shore on weekends and deliver furniture to and from a local estate auction when I can handle the loading and unloading by myself.  My family has grown and I found a similar truck that has all the same features with the larger size crew cab.  As I show in the pictures, the extended cab has the front seat that is a split 60%/40% bench and the middle can be  tilted down to become an arm rest / cup holder.  The back seats are also a 60%/40% split bench that can be locked in the upright position.  

I purchased it in 2007 with 101,000 miles and I've put almost 43,000 miles on it.  The motor is a Triton 8 cylinder, 4.6 L with strong power.  The prior owner used it as a toy because it had the bed rug and stretch vinyl bed cover on it.  Most of my miles have been from driving family stuff like kids, bikes, strollers, etc.  The light moving was minimal miles and just local deliveries.  The vinyl cover got wind damaged because I didn't secure it for highway driving.  I needed to removed the three bed rug side panels to protect them from rain when I removed the bed cover and frame.  I still have all the sections and will include them in this auction if the winning bidder wants it.  

Mechanically, this is a great truck.  I gave it regular maintenance.  The oil was changed within the last 1,000 miles, I replaced the tires last year and just replaced the breaks and rotors last month.   On the way home from getting the breaks replaced, I got the long scratch / dent over the passenger side rear wheel well.  That is the worst dent / scratch on the truck and was the catalyst to start the search for the replacement.  

Any truck with this many miles has flaws.  Almost all flaws with this truck are cosmetic.  Another words, there are several dings and dents all around this truck.  Most were on the truck when I bought it.  You will see my replacement has several too.  Trucks seem to be cheaper when they have a couple dents.  I have always cared more about the trim package and mechanical reliability.  I've photographed and included the up close shots of the worst ones.  There is also small 3" crack in the windshield caused by a stone that shot up from a vehicle in front of me.  It is not a distraction while driving and has passed inspections.  The plastic end cap that is on top of the gear shifter went missing a couple years ago.  The kids never fessed up how they actually got it off and I never got around to buying another one.  

The ABS light has stayed lit while driving for the past three years  I had the antilock braking system checked back when the light got stuck on.  It works fine and has always past inspection while lit.  I just never wanted to spend big bucks trying to figure out why it stays on.  For some reason the passenger side lock won't go up when you push the power lock button on the drivers side.  Again, not a big deal.  You can see from the pics the interior seats are clean and I have extra mats on the floor.  The stains on the floor are from the kids that spilt soda and drinks.  Giving the carpets a shampoo would remove them if that is important to you.

This truck isn't half way through its life because it has been well maintained and never used hard.  I took a pic of my replacement gold color Ram pick up truck bed cover so you can see the type of vinyl cover frame I have and what it would look like if you decide to purchase a new cover to put over the existing but unattached frame.  Nothing in the picture showing the gold truck is for sale in this auction.  It is included strictly for a visual description only of what the vinyl cover would look like on the truck being sold.

If you have any questions, please ask.  Bid with confidence.  I can't think of anything else to share about it.  Good luck in your bidding.  Someone will get a great deal on a rare XLT, 2WD, 8' long bed with an extended cab that runs great.  Thank you for your interest.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.

3dCarbon now offering body kit for Ford Fusion

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

A factory-backed body kit by 3dCarbon is now available to Ford Fusion owners who want their car to stand out from the crowd while not being too flashy. The body kit adds a more aggressive front spoiler, side skirts, rear body trim and spoiler that are, in fact, integrated quite nicely into the Fusion's already-comely styling, just as 3dCarbon claims. All Fusions with the kit also receive dual exhaust ports with the stainless-steel exhaust surrounds usually reserved for the Titanium package Fusion EcoBoost models.
A nice detail of 3dCarbon's injection-molded urethane body kit is that it has undergone crash testing to certify that it can withstand crashes up to five miles per hour. Because of this, the kit is warrantied by 3dCarbon for five years or 50,000 miles, much like Ford's warranty on its own parts. In fact, the kit is available through participating Ford dealers and can be financed through Ford Motor Credit. Buyers can purchase the kit - pre-painted or unpainted - and install it themselves, or it can be purchased with a new Ford Fusion and installed at the dealer, pre-painted to factory specifications. Of course, it can also be ordered directly from the source. Take a look at the press release below for more detailed information on the body kit, and let us know what you think of it in Comments.

Ford cuts production at 5 plants, has big backload of cars including Mustang

Wed, Sep 20 2017

DETROIT — Ford said on Tuesday it plans to idle five North American vehicle assembly plants for a total of 10 weeks to reduce inventories of slow-selling models. The plants affected include three assembly plants in the United States and two in Mexico, the company said in a statement. The vehicle models include the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ midsize sedans, the Ford Focus compact car, the Lincoln Continental and Ford Mustang, Ford Fiesta and the Ford Transit van. Ford said the Cuautitlan assembly plant that builds the Fiesta would be idled for three weeks. The Hermosillo, Mexico plant that builds the Fusion and MKZ and the Flat Rock, Michigan, factory that assembles Continentals and Mustangs will be idled for two weeks each. The Michigan Assembly plant that builds the Focus will be idled for one week, and the Kansas City assembly line that builds Transit vans will be down for two weeks. Ford did not give dates for the temporary shutdowns. The factories involved employ more than 15,000 people, according to Ford's website. The company did not say how many of those workers would face temporary layoffs. As of Sept. 1, Ford had 111 days' worth of unsold Mustangs, 87 days' supply of Fusions, and a 103 days' supply of Transit vans, according to Automotive News. Dealers had enough unsold Lincoln Continentals to last 162 days. Automakers aim for 65 to 70 days of inventory of most models. Ford and rival General Motors have wrestled most of this year to rein in high inventories of passenger cars as consumers have shifted to buying pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. Production cuts slice into revenue, but also could help the automakers avoid deeper price cuts on vehicles they can sell.
