I have owned this truck since October or November of 2012 and it is Meticulously maintained every 5k miles with motorcraft filters and Valvoline Premium Blue 15w40 diesel oil. Over $5k spent this year. New tie rods, drag link, ball joints, all seals in hubs & axles, front rotors, brake pads all around, sway bar links and bushings, fan, fan clutch, water pump, thermostat, Cam Position Sensor, glowplugs, glow plug relay, Under Valve Cover harness, Valve cover gaskets, all fuel bowl orings, driver side and passenger side fuel rail lines, fuel pump, 2 injectors. New batteries and positive cables this week. All motorcraft parts except the alternator (NAPA), that I put on same day as bateries. Rocker panels and fender edges are bed lined. 08+ tail lights with harness built, not cut and splice. Riffraff intake. Stainless-steel braided 4wd vacuum hub hoses from DieseSite. Billett thermostat housing, billet fuel pressure housing. No tears in carpet or cloth, no cracks in plastic. CB radio wired in, but no antenna. Sony Xplod headunit installed when I purchased. Will be updating the 4x4 decas this week to the new style Fx4 decal, also have header panel and Harley Edition headlights for an 05-07 f250 that I purchased to update the front end end that I never got around to. I will throw those in for an additional $150, if you want them, if not, that's fine too. If you do buy them, all that is needed to complete the update would be an 05-07 grill and front bumper. I am sure I am forgetting some things, but over all great condition, once a month I drive it to Alomogordo, Nm about 400 miles away for military duty and it never misses a beat. Avg 18.5 mpg. Only reason I am selling this pickup is because my wife and I are looking to move to a larger city soon so I can finish school, and I will be needing a car. Sad to see this truck go. In pictures the hood is open slightly because I was changing batteries. Mileage will go up slightly as I drive it very occasionally, however right now I am mainly driving one of my father in laws vehicle, so the mileage wont increase by much. Has no leaks. Just a great, solid truck with gobs of power and plenty of room for more, with not much work. If you have any questions please ask, or if you would like to see pictures of something specific please let me know and I will do my best to accomodate. Thank you, and happy bidding.

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs

Wed, Nov 29 2017

BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept does discreet luxury in NYC

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

There's something to be said for luxed-out vans. They're cool, and as a means of getting chauffeured about, they're extremely comfortable and far more low key than your typical executive luxury sedan. For the 2014 New York Auto Show, Galpin Auto Sports has shown the potential of the new-for-the-US Ford Transit as an ultra-luxurious people hauler.
The Transit Skyliner Concept, which we previewed last week, sports four finely crafted captain's buckets that can be moved into different formations based on need. Want to watch a movie? The seats can be swung around to face a 52-inch screen. Riding along with some business associates? A table can be popped up. There's even a configuration for tailgating.
The materials are, unsurprisingly, pretty plush. The leather seats and wood floors (yes, wood floors in a van) look great, while the trunk and its customized luggage are a nice touch, as well.
