We can deliver to the winning bidder anywhere in the eastern part of the U.S for the cost of fuel. If you are in the west/Midwest/south it will be up to you to arrange transport/delivery.
This truck in my opinion would be in the best 10% available as far as condition for this model/age vehicle.
We bought it in March of this year to do a camping tour of the U.S and it performed flawlessly.
Now it is time for us to return home so regrettably we have to sell.
The truck had 174,600 miles on it when we bought it from the original owner in Wyoming. We have since put about 11,000 miles on it. It has ZERO body rust and was always garaged and maintained.
Here is a list of what we have added.
Rear firestone airbags, New tires all round (now have 75% tread left), New shock absorbers all round, New power steering pump, New vacuum pump,New batteries 850 amp motorcrafts. Changed all fluids diffs,transfer case etc,New air filter,fuel filter,new serpentine belt. Torklift tie downs on front and happi jac tabs on rear for camper tie down.(we sold camper).
Everything mentioned above is OEM no cheap replacement parts!
This truck is in overall great condition and ready to go anywhere!
Extras included are- grill guard, tekonsha electric trailer brake controller, mr pickup rear step/hitch, side steps and A.R.E camper shell.
Note: we bought the camper shell after we sold our slide in camper just to keep our stuff dry. It is in good condition but is NOT a perfect fit for this model, I think it is off a newer model. As I said it works fine.
The only thing that doesn't work is the cassette player but I think it is an easy fix, I never bothered because we just used our mp3 player.
The rear passenger locking knob, the very top is broken off it and it is a little sticky as you have to press the central locking button twice to get it to lock, the rest of the doors are fine.
The drivers seat has a little wear but really minimal , it has seat covers on both front seats, the rear seat has rarely been used by the look of it.
The top half of the steering wheel has some wear as to be expected but nothing major.
Everything else in the interior is in great condition.
The paint is in very good condition,but it has a lot of very,very light scratching that can easily be polished out and hardly noticeable.
There are in total three dings from hailstones, one about like a thumb print on the hood and two on the roof about like golf ball size, none of these has cracked the paint or anything so not really an issue.
It has a small fleck of paint about the size of your little finger nail off the drivers door, the original owner told me it was there from new, can easily be touched up.
The top rail of the pickup bed has some marks where a head ache rack was bolted on but nothing as far as damage, just small cosmetic stuff.
The bed is straight with no major dings/damage, it has a rubber mat in it which has helped protect it.
The tail gate has a ding in the bottom left corner where a 2 inch piece of pipe slid forward off a trailer (original owner) it isn't deep and could be fixed without too much bother.
All of the above are little things that don't affect the trucks functionality in any way, I just mention them because I am fussy and to make you aware of everything I can.
The engine is strong and uses no oil between changes and the oil looks clean even after 3-5k miles, I have never had a diesel like that before, it usually turns black after a week!
The original owner told me he put a new clutch and flywheel in it at 100,000 miles, it is still the dual mass fly wheel and it seems tight.
Hubs lock in and out good and I don't think the 4x4 has been used much , we used it about twice!
Also will throw in my tool kit and a few spares, probably 200-300 dollars worth.
I can't think of much else to say, if you have any Q,s please ask and happy bidding
And to the lucky person who wins, you are getting a great solid truck. I looked for a long time when I bought this to find the one I wanted.
you can also call me if you want to discuss anything about the truck or more pics etc. 303 325 4574 Doug.

Ford to ramp up Lincoln rollout in China in bid to catch rivals
Thu, Apr 12 2018DETROIT/BEIJING — Ford Motor Co's premium Lincoln brand plans to build as many as five new vehicles in China by 2022, according to two U.S. sources, in a move to expand sales in the world's largest vehicle market that would also blunt the impact of trade U.S.-China trade spats. Ford has said it plans to build an all-new sport utility vehicle in China by the end of 2019, however the company has not detailed future production plans for the Lincoln brand in China beyond that. "Our localization plans to support the China market are on track and will serve to further drive Lincoln's growth in China," Lincoln spokeswoman Angie Kozleski said. "Beyond that, it would be premature to discuss our future product and production plans or timing." Sources familiar with Ford's production plans told Reuters the automaker now expects to begin building the new Lincoln Aviator in China in late 2019 or early 2020, along with replacements for the MKC compact crossover and the MKZ midsize sedan, followed in 2021 by the all-new Nautilus, which replaces the Lincoln MKX crossover. A fifth model, a small coupe-like crossover, is tentatively slated for production in China in 2022, the sources said. Ford has much to lose if the war of words over trade between China and U.S. President Donald Trump escalates into a full-blown tariff war. Last year, it shipped about 80,000 vehicles to China from North America, more than half of them Lincolns to support the brand's growth. All Lincoln vehicles that Ford now sells in China are brought in from North America. Even if China does reduce its 25 percent tariff on imported vehicles - as Chinese President Xi Jinping promised on Tuesday - it is not clear that would mean a big, long-term increase in Fords and Lincolns made in U.S. factories heading to Chinese showrooms. Ford is pursuing long-range plans to build more vehicles in China to serve a market that is now roughly 60 percent larger than the U.S. market, and projected to keep growing. But it is playing catch up to hometown rival General Motors Co and German luxury brands including Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, which have invested heavily in Chinese production in recent years as a form of insurance against trade, political and currency gyrations and to lower price points for their premium cars.

Ford Escort is ready to focus on the Chinese market
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Ford officially revived the Escort name in China, showing of the new, four-door compact at the Beijing Motor Show. Painted in a stylish brown-bronze, the new sedan wears a number of global Ford styling cues while sharing its platform with the Ford Focus.
Power for the new model comes from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder, although Ford doesn't specify just how much power is on offer, simply saying that the fuel economy of the new mill will be "outstanding." It's unclear what transmission will be distributing the engine's power, although based on the images we've seen, the Escort will definitely offer a two-pedal setup.
The layout of the cabin is fairly clean, although as we mentioned in our initial post on the new Escort, it's a decidedly sparser environment than we've grown use to in US-spec Fords of late. If anything, it's like a weird blend of current Ford switchgear with an overall look that reminds us of older Ford layouts. Still, it looks like a comfortable way of moving five people about without too much fuss. There's ample space both front and rear, and a rather spacious trunk.
