This is one of the sharpest F250's around. I have yet to see another with this color scheme. It is a short bed crew cab 4x4. This does have the sought after 7.3 liter International engine. It has a plug in block heater if you have to leave it out. It will start at any temp, any day. It does not smoke. It runs like it did off the lot. I have put 80,000 miles on it since I purchased it from my brother in law who is meticulous. It has big exhaust. New stainless tips. All four new shocks. All new glow plugs. Brand new oversized tires! Everything works. Power locks/windows, cruise, cd with auxilary for i pod or android phone. K&N filter and cold air intake. Old school Super Chips programmer. It only goes to 80 HP on the max setting, so it is very safe. My brother in law was a trucker and wanted more gauges, so he put in the 3 pod set on the window post. (EGT, Tranny temp, and Boost). This truck had a brand new tranny put in at 80,000 miles. It has never skipped a beat for me. I have never done anything, nor needed to except put on tires, general up keep, etc. I put $800 worth of glow plugs last year to find out that it was just a bad solenoid that activated them... This truck is very, very clean for a 2000. People are constantly complementing it and thinking it is much newer. It sounds awesome, nice and mellow, not loud and obnoxious. It has a flip up ball in the bed for a fifth wheel. I occasionally pulled my gooseneck flatbed to get an antique tractor. Other than that I don't pull with it much. It does have the trailer brake hookup. My brother in law pulled a camper to its spot in the spring and home in the fall. You will be very impressed with how new this truck feels and looks. The only bad is a small dent in the front bumper. (cement post at a gas station) and the under side of the front two doors are getting a small bit of rust starting that can be stopped easily. This truck is rust free other than that. Always been garaged with heat. Always washed and clean. Call me don't email. 319-231-8974. I am open to offers, if they are reasonable and in person. You can scour craigslist and ebay etc and will not find 7.3's for sale in this condition. This is a great find. The truck has 193,000. Just broke in.

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.
