Here's a lot of truck for not a lot of money! Take a look a 1998 Ford F-250 4x4 with a lot of power and extras. For starters, finding an F-250 4x4 can be a challenge, next, to find one with these miles (110...) and for this price, now you'll be looking for a while. Then add to the fact that this is a XLT, NOT A stripped down work truck, and you realize that you have found a way to save money, make money, and like what you are driving.
You have here a 1998 Ford F-250 4x4 that has a clean title, ready to be transferred to the new owner. The color is Red and Silver trimmed. The paint is nice and shiny, no red dusting or clear coat pealing. Take a look at the miles!! Better than average!!!
The interior of the truck is good condition with little wear. The seat is in good shape, a three passenger with a folding arm rest in the center. There are cup holders as you can see in the pictures. A power outlet next to the drivers knee. The truck comes equipped with a Working Factory Cruise Control for those long trips on the highway, this option is nice, because many F-250 do not have this, this one does. The A/C is in working condition and is cold. The radio is a standard Ford radio that is in working condition as well.
The motor in this truck is a 5.4 Liter V-8. A very dependable, powerful, and long lasting motor traditionally. This motor was used in many Ford trucks and SUVs, so parts and maintenance are easy find. This is a quite running motor that idles smoothly, and runs down the interstate even smoother (I was impressed and I drive one myself). The transmission is tight and shifts smoothly, it does have the electric over-drive shifter on the gear selector, to quickly go from OD to drive when pulling a load or otherwise. The 4x4 is in working condition. It engages easily from the knob on the right side of the driver, from 2 wheel high to 4 wheel high then to 4 wheel-low range.The steering is tight, the truck tracks straight down the road without pulling right or left. The brakes stop smoothly and straight as well, no noises. The tires are in good shape as you can see in the pictures and there is a spare located under the truck bed.
Now for the extras!!! This unit come equipped with a hide away 5th Wheel attachment as you can see in the pictures. So whether you are pulling or hauling a load in the bed, or doing both in the same day, you are just seconds from going from one to the other. This is very nice feature for those who want an all around work truck. It does also have a heavy duty standard style hitch attached to the frame under the bumper for normal pulling of boats, campers, etc.. You can also see that in the cab pictures, this truck has a electric trailer braking system already installed and the trailer lighting plug is the large round style (see the tailgate picture).
Like we mentioned a lot of truck for not a lot of money!!!

Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going
Tue, 13 May 2014Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.
Ford Fiesta ST customs get wild at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The massive 57-car SEMA showcase by Ford ranges from obvious aftermarket-friendly models like the Mustang, to the not so obvious ones, like the Transit Connect and cute-as-an-explosive-button Fiesta ST. Ford plucked several Fiesta STs for SEMA duty, and we were on the show floor today to get a closer look at some of them.
First up is the striking COBB Tuning and Tanner Foust Racing Fiesta ST (above) finished in a black-and-gray digital camouflage, much like that used in the military, and is meant to raise awareness for the Pat Tillman Foundation. COBB also fitted a three-inch exhaust and a cold-air intake. A new shift knob, carbon-fiber hood and a Kicker stereo round out the mix of upgrades.
MRT got its hands on a Fiesta ST and created a car inspired by Forza Motorsport 5 (below, left). Featuring a two-tone paint job and more performance upgrades than you can shake a stick at, this Fiesta ST is one of the cooler compacts at Ford's stand. A high-performance exhaust system, along with a complimentary COBB induction system, allows the ST to breathe better, while an H&R coil over suspension and Steeda brakes help it stop and turn better than stock.
Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown
Sun, 18 May 2014A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."
