7.3 Liter F350 Ford 2wd Long Bed With Lot's Of Heart Left on 2040-cars
Townsend, Georgia, United States
This has been the best truck I have owned. Very dependable transportation. Less than 500 miles on new tires. Replaced the ball joints and drag link in 2011. Fresh motor craft batteries warranted through Ford. New stalk on column for wipers and turn signal. New gearshift stalk on column for Overdrive. I took this truck to the Bozard Ford dealership before I purchased it and was told there was full power available and recommended that the Drag link and ball joints be replaced and I did that maintenance just after I purchased it at 260,000 miles. I used the truck to pull my BMW show car every summer which was no real work for this super truck. I raised the front end up 2" to get the stance level across the running boards. Goes down the road straight. I have really treated this truck with respect and for its age, I would get in it now and drive to Walla Walla Washington then to Bangor Maine and back. Someone will get a great truck which is willing to pull anything. Does not smoke unless you floor it on the on the "on-ramps" which is typical. Does not leak anything. The Int'l 7.3's are notorious for 750,000 miles! Transmission shifts perfectly.The bed was replaced in 2012 with a 2012 model because the right rear tire spun the tread off at 70 miles an hour and peeled the whole truck side off the bed. The bed was brand new purchased from a utility truck builder that sells brand new "take-off" beds on ebay. Uses no oil between oil changes and when you pull the dipstick, you see clean clear oil, not black ink which is common on some turbo-charged diesels. There is nothing that I am aware of that needs attention other than the wiper motor. I replaced it a year ago with a remanufactured unit but should have used an OEM new unit and it has stopped working again. (The NAPA wiper motor warranty expired two weeks ago) The wiper motor can be replaced in 30 minutes. I no longer need a truck this size and am purchasing a Ford Ranger. Truck is offered for sale locally, I reserve the right to end the auction early if sold locally.THIS IS A NO-RESERVE AUCTION, HIGH BIDDER GETS THIS REALLY NICE LOOKING, DEPENDABLE TRUCK! Good Luck!! I can be reached @ 912-321-8012 between 8:00 AM-8:00 PM Eastern.

Ford to spread all-wheel drive across performance range
Tue, Feb 10 2015Car and Driver took a closer look at the all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS, Ford reps having made "broad hints" about it being applied to other performance vehicles. One spokesperson even said that he "can see this as one of those technologies of the future." That would make sense because, as C/D notes, it couldn't have been an inexpensive job to engineer the torque-vectoring unit for the Focus – one that can send 70 percent of torque to the rear wheels, and send 100 percent of that portion to either wheel if needed. C/D also clues into the system's close similarity to the AWD unit in the recently updated Range Rover Evoque, which is manufactured by Sweden's GKN Driveline. In the Evoque, torque vectoring is brake based and two electronically controlled clutches turn the Range into a front-wheel-drive crossover under 22 miles per hour. Ford wouldn't comment on the GKN Driveline connection, or even if there is one. No matter where it might come from, more performance Fords are good for every enthusiast, and we do not look an AWD, torque-vectoring gift horse in the mouth.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Ford Escort testing, may be bound for Europe
Tue, 01 Apr 2014There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.
