THIS TRUCK IS UNBELIEVABLE !!! The entire project took more than a year to complete and at a cost of well over $150,000 !!! A six door truck conversion cost $54k just to stretch your donor vehicle !!! The truck was purchased as a BRAND NEW crew cab Lariat XLT cab and chassis from an Authorized Ford dealership with 0 miles on the clock and then the transformation began. A Brand New entire cab assembly and bed/fender assembly was also purchased from the Ford dealership in order to convert this trucks cab into a 6 door and to modify the short dually bed. THERE WERE NO SALVAGE OR REPRO PARTS USED ANYWHERE IN THIS BUILD !!! Now let's go more in depth on what this truck offers in customized features. We felt that if the fuel tank had to be relocated, why not make it large or better yet really large for long distance traveling ? There is a 100 gallon custom fuel cell that runs the length of the drivers side (underneath) and it has a custom electric blower system to displace the fumes. The truck has a completely custom air bag system with Commercial Duty Firestone Airide air bags and an on-board Heavy Duty compressor with external valves. There is also a custom fabricated trailer hitch with a tow capacity of 20,000 lbs. Needless to say it has never even had a trailer tongue installed in it because this truck has never towed anything ! It has electric trailer brakes with an in-cab controller as well. Installed on the front and rear are Road Armor bumpers and a front tubular Road Armor grill guard. A set of tubular side nerf bars were custom fabricated to simulate the exact style and look of the Road Armor bumpers. Genuine PIAA offroad lights were installed in the front and rear bumpers. The front bumper has a Warn 12,000 lbs electric wench with the optional remote control. In the bed of the truck there is a under the bed rail black anodized Trail FX tool box and locking roll-up hard bed cover. The bed and tailgate are of course Rhino lined. The truck sports a set of custom 19.5'' polished forged aluminum Brentz wheels with a brand new full size Brentz aluminum matching spare with Goodyear tire in the bed. The wheels are wrapped in Goodyear 245/70R19.5 all terrain tires which have plenty of life left on them. Now let's discuss the interior of this vehicle .... THIS INTERIOR IS INSANE !!!! Everything , everywhere is covered in brown Alcatara suede and Italian leather !!!! The entire dashboard (top and bottom) ,kick panels, A,B,C and D pillars, headliner, sun visors, door panels etc... are all covered in yards of luxurious suede. Even the carpet and floormats were replaced with custom cut matching brown pile, which goes to show that everything about this truck was meticulously designed and well thought out. The seats are custom bolster seats with lumbar support that were refinished in Italian leather with simulated ostrich inserts. The rear seating is a custom 3 panel seat that reclines electrically and can lay perfectly flat in order to make a bed. One of the trucks electronic interior amenities is Direct TV satellite. There is a custom 40" Sharp Aquos plasma that electrically drops down from the ceiling for viewing and electrically raises back up and out of sight when you are finished viewing. The satellite dish is on top of the truck, concealed by a roof mounted steel/painted cover. There is also a dash mounted Pioneer DVD player (with back-up camera), a sun visor monitor and a separate DVD player for the rear so that the driver and front passenger can watch a separate DVD or source than the rear passengers simultaneously. The truck is protected by a Clifford remote start alarm with an LCD readout. I'm sure that after all I've written I've still forgotten to mention many key features of this one of a kind truck

Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.

Which car companies are creating new jobs in America?

Fri, Sep 22 2017

Since January, automakers have announced investments totaling $9.5 billion in U.S. plants, creating or retaining more than 12,000 jobs. Some of those companies have yet to announce just how many jobs will be created given their investments, with the location of many of those jobs still to be determined. Specifically, the 4,000-job Toyota-Mazda joint venture plant still hasn't announced its location, with numerous states jockeying for it. Hyundai has plans to invest $1 billion but has not announced a jobs number yet. And likewise Ford is investing $1.2 billion in Michigan without specifying a number of jobs. Volvo this week announced plans to add a second line to its factory under construction in South Carolina, spending another $500 million and adding 2,500 jobs to the 2,000 it was already trying to fill. Then Thursday, Daimler announced a $1 billion expansion to its facility in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to produce EV batteries and electric SUVs, a move that will add 600 jobs to its hiring this year. Above, we've created a handy pie chart showing you which companies have announced new jobs and how many there will be.

NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.
