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 Recalls Nearly 700,000 Vehicles
Fri, May 9 2014Ford is recalling more than 692,000 Escape small SUVs and C-Max gas-electric hybrids in North America to fix two safety problems. The recalls cover vehicles from the 2013 and 2014 model years. Most of the Escapes have both problems. The first case covers 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles. A software glitch can stop the side curtain air bags from inflating in certain types of rollover crashes. The company says it has no reports of crashes or injuries. Dealers will reprogram the air bag control computer for free. About 65,000 of the recalled vehicles are C-Max models, and the rest are Escapes. Roughly 591,000 are in the U.S., with 3,500 more in U.S. territories. About 78,000 are in Canada and another 19,500 are in Mexico, Fordspokeswoman Kelli Felker said in an e-mail. There could be more vehicles affected in other markets, the company said. The affected Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011 through Feb. 14, 2014. The C-Max vehicles were built from Jan. 19, 2012, through Feb. 24, 2014. The second case covers about 692,700 Escapes. Exterior door handles can bind and stop the door from latching properly. This could allow doors to open while the SUVs are in motion. Dealers will inspect the handles and reposition them if needed. No crashes or injuries have been reported. About 583,000 are in the U.S. or its territories, with another 89,500 in Canada and 20,000 in Mexico. Ford said in this case, the problem may affect vehicles in other markets. All the North American Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011, through April 10, 2014. Recalls Ford escape
Lower gas prices mean there are excellent deals on green cars right now
Sat, Jan 17 2015The phenomenon was big enough to make news in 2006, then in 2008, in 2011, in 2012, in 2013, and again last year: a big move in gas prices means a big move in alternative-fuel-vehicle sales. True Car's TrueSavings report, which averages transaction prices across the country to figure out what people are paying compared to MSRP, shows that electric cars and hybrids are ripe for excellent savings right now. The Ford Focus Electric presents the greatest disparity, with the average transaction price of $25,168 representing a 16.1-percent saving off its $29,995 MSRP. The Kia Optima Hybrid and Toyota Prius also snagged spots in the top five, with the Kia offering a 10.7-percent discount and the Toyota a 10.1-percent discount. One hybrid managed to show up among the top five lease offers, too: the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is just $315 a month for 36 months after $3,875 down in some markets. Alt-energy vehicles got bumped out of the top five finance deals, however. That was dominated by light trucks and, oddly, two subcompacts. The press release below has more details. TrueCar finds hybrids, EVs top list of best savings in January Gasoline price plunge = savings for consumers on alternative fuel vehicles SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ford's Focus Electric hatchback, which sells at an average of 16 percent off MSRP, tops January's list of best savings on new vehicles, according to TrueCar, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUE), the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform. The "TrueSavings" monthly report analyzes current transaction prices and identifies opportunities for consumer savings. "Fuel savings are not top of mind to many consumers right now, and that makes this a great time to buy a hybrid or electric vehicle," said John Krafcik, president of TrueCar. "With gasoline prices now averaging just $2.10 per gallon, and vehicle preferences tied so closely to short-term gasoline prices, automakers are heavily discounting their most fuel-efficient cars to clear inventories." Toyota's Prius, the world's best-selling alternative fuel vehicle for more than a decade, also makes January's list of best savings. Customers who purchase a Prius Two model this month can save 10 percent off the hybrid car's $25,025 MSRP. "Gasoline prices and vehicle type preferences are strongly related, and this relationship is cyclical in nature," said Krafcik.
Weekly Recap: Chevy and Alfa plot comeback strategies
Sat, Jun 27 2015Chevrolet and Alfa Romeo were two of the 20th Century's most iconic automotive brands. Chevy embodied America's post-war power and confidence. Alfa was the definition of the stylish Italian sports car. They reached halcyon heights in the 1950s and '60s, before declining precipitously amid new competition, changing consumer tastes, and uneven corporate management. Both say 2015 is the start of something better, and this week Chevy and Alfa laid out ambitious plans and showcased new cars that they hope will make them more relevant this year, and in the coming years. Each brand sits at its own crossroads, and their paths forward are as different as the Chevy Cruze and the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Chevy is still a sales beast, as evidenced by its volume of 4.8 million vehicles sold around the world last year. Chevy executives are fond of saying one of their cars is sold every seven seconds, which illustrates the strength and reach of a car brand that is the fourth largest in the world. "Make no mistake about it, we are a brand for the people," said General Motors North America president Alan Batey. But he wants consumers to want to buy a Chevy for its design and technology, not simply because it's affordable. That starts with all Chevys now featuring a distinctive a family look, with sporty cues from the Corvette or strong lines that riff on the Silverado pickup. "We want people to fall in lust with our cars," said Mike Pevovar, executive design director for Chevy passenger cars. "That initial emotional attraction has to be right on the exterior, and that's where form comes into play." Chevy is also loading up its cars, like the freshly unveiled 2016 Chevy Cruze, with technology to appeal to a younger crowd that prizes connectivity. The Cruze will offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with its MyLink infotainment system, and OnStar with 4G LTE and wifi. Seeking out younger buyers is also sound business practice: Millennials now outnumber Baby Boomers as the largest single age group in the United States. Younger buyers also can improve a brand's image, which is another area where Chevy would like to improve. Chevy ranks 82nd on Interbrand's Best Global Brand's list, behind 11 other automakers. Apple is No. 1. "We need our own variation of the Genius Bar," Batey said. 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia View 3 Photos Meanwhile, Alfa is in different shape.
