This 1996 Ford F 250 2 wheel drive pickup is in exceptional condition for its year. With the current millage it has averaged a little over 10,000 miles per year.

The 7.3 liter Powerstroke turbo charged diesel engine has been maintained to the highest level. When ever there was an issue with the truck it was fixed immediately by a reputable local repair facility. The truck is ready to go anywhere. The glow plow harness was replaced several years ago. within the past 3 years a new cam timing sensor was installed, new brakes, new plug for block heater (you don't really need it because the truck starts in the coldest weather).New rear differential cover just put in because the old one wasn't leaking but was showing signs that it might. Rear end oil was changed at that time.

Duel fuel tanks, the front tank fuel guage does not work. Each tank has a key locking fuel fill cap. No oil leaks or drips anywhere. Engine burns clean with no smoke.

I had a 2" receiver hitch installed with an electric brake adjustment modual in the cab. The truck has towed a trailer maybe 5 times. There are two surface rust spots. One is on the hood and the other is to the right of the rear window. Both have rust inhibitor on them but should be painted at some point. About the size of a quarter, see pictures.

It has a fantastic Eagle hydraulic tailgate lift that can lift 500LBS. Very handy piece of equipment. The electric motor that drives the hydraulic pump has been rebuilt and works perfectly.

There is a small ding on the drivers side door and above the fuel tank fill they are small and hard to see in the pictures.

Plastic bed liner. Tires are excellent.

Transmission has an over drive button that is used when towing.

Rocker panels and doors are solid as a rock. No rust on this truck besides what I mentioned above. The truck has been kept indoors and not driven in the winter.I'm selling it because I don't need it any more and it has only been used about 4000 miles a year in the past 9 years.

The engine is extremely powerful and with a lot of torque.

Vynal bench seat, hand crank windows, no AC. This is a reliable no frills truck. That's probably why its so reliable and inexpensive to maintain.

Call me with any questions. 860-662-0272

Ford announces first non-pursuit-rated police car ever

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Ford announced its first non-pursuit-rated Police Interceptor ever, based on the Taurus, which employs the smaller 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine in place of similar pursuit-rated Police Interceptors powered by naturally aspirated 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter V6s and the top-spec 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Officially called the Special Service Police sedan, the car was commissioned at the request of law-enforcement agencies that desire a more fuel-efficient vehicle for detectives, administrators and campus police, who don't necessarily need pursuit-rated vehicles.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine produces 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, but more importantly, it allows the SSP sedan to achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway, which are the civilian 2.0-liter Taurus' official EPA ratings. Ford estimates that the SSP sedan will get 20 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined, with the help of Active Grille Shutters that open to allow more cooling air through to the radiator, or close to optimize aerodynamics and fuel economy. Those numbers compare favorably to the discontinued Crown Victoria-based Interceptor's 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway and the newer Taurus-based cars equipped with V6s, the most fuel efficient of which gets 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
If it was driven 90,000 miles over the course of three years, a 2.0-liter SSP sedan would save law enforcement agencies $5,042.92 versus the Crown Vic, Ford estimates. The EPA is expected to post official fuel-economy numbers for the SSP sedan in December. Until then, read the press release below for more information.

After Years Of Delays, Rear Visibility Requirements Move Closer To Reality

Fri, Jan 3 2014

Regulations that would require automakers to improve rear-view visibility on all new cars and light trucks are nearing completion after six years of delays. The U.S. Department of Transportation sent its proposed rear-visibility rules to the Obama administration for review on Christmas Day. The White House Office of Management and Budget now must finalize the regulations. The rule are intended to minimize the risk of pedestrian deaths from vehicles in reverse, a type of accident that disproportionately affects children. Already in 2014, two children have died from cars backing over them, driven in each case by the children's father. Specifics of the Transportation Department's proposal are not available during the review, but the rules are expected to compel automakers to install rear-view cameras as mandatory equipment on all new vehicles. That's what safety advocates have wanted all along. Thought they were pleased the proposed ruling had finally been issued, there was some worry Friday the final rules would omit the rear-view camera mandate. "We're encouraged, but we're also a little concerned about speculation the rear-view camera may not be in there," said Janette Fennell, the president and founder of Kids and Cars, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting children in and around vehicles. "I'm wondering where that might be coming from." On Thursday, The Automotive News had reported the possibility the new standards could offer an alternative to rear-view cameras, such as redesigned mirrors, that improved visibility. The Office of Management and Budget typically completes its reviews of new rules in 90 days, although that can be extended. OMB officials said Friday they do not comment on pending rules. The intent of the rules is to enhance rear visibility for drivers and prevent pedestrian deaths. Approximately 200 pedestrians are backed over in the United States each year, according to estimates from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Accidents Mostly Affect Children Roughly half the victims are children younger than age five. A government analysis concluded approximately half the victims -– 95 to 112 -– could be saved with new regulations. Yet the rules have arrived at a glacial pace. President George W. Bush signed legislation that had been passed with bipartisan Congressional support in 2008. But automakers have fought the idea of adding rear-view cameras, saying it is too expensive.
