This truck is in great working condition. I have always fixed everything that came up, with the exception of the air conditioning, which I bypassed the compressor when it went with a shorter belt to get better gas mileage. I am the second owner. I bought the truck from the original owner in Feb., 2008. It had 79,000 miles on it. It now has 88,217 miles, so I put 9,000 miles on it in 6 years. 5,000 of those miles was in 2008 when I took it to Idaho (from Pennsylvania) for an elk hunting trip. I put the tires on it new for that trip, so they have 9,000 miles on them. I always had the oil changed every year at inspection time, even though the truck was generally run about 600 miles a year. It has always been kept in a garage since I have had it. 
I recently had all the body work done where rust was coming through. Also new strong arms on the lift hatch on the Reading body. 
The Reading body is awesome. I used it to store my tools for handyman work. The lumber rack is really sturdy. I also have slept in the cap on overnight trips very comfortably. It is a full 8 foot size bed and a 4x8 sheet of drywall or plywood fits in it easily. 
It has a tow package on it, including a brake lever inside. There is also a receiver on the front of the truck for a winch or for parking implements or trailers more easily than backing them in. 
Also included are a pair of Michelin LTX A/S LT 225/75 R16 mounted on wheels, another pair of steel wheels, and the original spare tire mounted on yet another wheel.
Here is a list of the work I have done on it since I have had it:
installed new parts
-belts
-air filter
-water pump
-alternator
-timimg cover
-thermastat
-front crank seal
-distributer
-distributer cap
-plugs, wires.
-valve cover gaskets
-oil pan gasket
-rear main seal
- engine mounts
-transmission front pump seal
- muffler
-tailpipe
-fuel filter
-fuel pump
-fuel tank
-fuel tank sending unit & pump
-brake lines & brakes

Aluminum Ford F-150 earns five-star crash rating [w/video]

Thu, Apr 16 2015

The scores are in, and the 2015 Ford F-150 has been awarded a five-star Overall Vehicle Score in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's testing. That makes it, according to Ford, the safest F-150 ever. "The five-star safety rating is a terrific example of One Ford collaboration and innovation," Vice President of Global Product Development Raj Nair said in a statement. "Our truck team worked together for years to deliver this accomplishment, using an unprecedented combination of advanced materials throughout the all-new F-150. The 2015 model is engineered to be the safest F-150 ever, which matters to customers who depend on this truck to not only get the job done, but also get them safely home." The new F-150's aluminum and high-strength-steel construction posed some unique challenges to truck's engineers. "The team had to invent new ways to manage crash energy, because advanced materials like high-strength steel behave differently," Matt Niesluchowski, the truck's safety manager. "We found that changing certain shapes led to a weight reduction, while also improving crash performance." Beyond the structural safety features, the 2015 F-150 is loaded with additional safety features, including an adaptive steering column and Ford's inflatable seat belts, that protects drivers in the event of a collision. Beyond that, there's the usual array of active safety features meant to prevent a crash in the first place, including Curve Control and forward collision warning with brake support. Check out Ford's full press release on its five-star score, as well as video on the truck's safety features.

China's auto sales continue to drop

Sat, Sep 12 2015

The days of unending growth of carmakers in China look to be over, and some analysts are even forecasting a net drop in volume this year, The Detroit News reports. After falling numbers in June and July, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers tallied total sales, including trucks and buses, in August to 1.7 million, down 3 percent from 2014. There were some tiny specs of good news in China, but there's no turnaround in sight. Total vehicle sales from January to August are actually still up but only 2.6 percent. Like the rest of the world, SUVs are booming with numbers up 45.6 percent from the previous year. Honda managed a very impressive 50.7 percent gain on the strength of the CR-V and Vezel (the HR-V here), according to The Detroit News. Also, the country's domestic automakers, which generally offer less expensive products, posted a 2.5 percent growth in sales. The news continues to look bad for Detroit's automakers, though. Volume from General Motors dropped 4.8 percent in August, and Ford fell 3 percent in August. Both of them have invested significant amounts there in the past years. The vehicle industry in China grew last year, but there was burgeoning evidence of weakness. At the end of 2014, dealers there pushed back against huge inventories pushed by automakers. Even before the big drops began in June, GM saw the writing on the wall and started cutting prices. BMW responded to the slump by cutting back production to deal with the changing demand.

Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.
