I will start off by saying this is my personal vehicle and the title is in MY name. I will be honest about everything and feel free to ask me anything! I have encountered a lot of dishonesty and I certainly want you to know what you are buying. This truck overall is in good condition. The paint shines like new. There isn't any chipping, fading or missing clear coat. There is one ding/dent as you could see in one of the pictures. The following have been recently replaced:Upper and lower ball joints, outer tie rod ends, pivot arm bushings, radius arm bushings, all four shocks, bearings, axle seals, pads, shoes, rotors, caliper/brackets, Front rubber brake lines, wheel cylinders, drums, 4 brand new tires in back, alignment, a couple of the leaf spring bushings, air filter, fuel filter, windshield wipers, thermostat and hoses, oil and filter. When I replaced all of these parts I specifically asked for the good parts and not the cheap stuff. Included with the sale will be an entire folder full of receipts. This truck has the Original Alcoa aluminum rims. The front tires are Firestone LT215/85/R15 and have about 7/32nds left. The rear are BRAND NEW Toyo H/T Open Country LT215/85/R16. This truck drives great! On the bottom of this description is two videos. One of them is the infamous blow-by test another is highway driving. These videos were from 3/26/13. This truck is from Tennessee, THE ONLY spot of rust on this truck is in the drivers side back door jam near the striker. Very weird that it rusted there. Seems that it is just surface rust anyway. The underneath and the bottom of the doors are SPOTLESS. Every time I drive this truck in salt I rinse it off in the garage that same night including the undercarriage. If you buy it you will see it is garage kept and I have a floor drain and hose in my garage. The only bad things I could tell you about this truck is the dash pad is cracked. However, this pad piece is EASY to replace. It is not the main dash piece. Any F series truck these years including broncos have this same piece. I have seen the piece on ebay for $40. Maybe a half hour job. Also, there is a noise that seems to be coming from the steering column sometimes when turning or hitting a bump while turning. I'm guessing it is the steering column, everything else is new. I have been told that I am very picky about my cars so this noise might not even bother you? I just want to tell you everything I know. I also just put a brand new Curt tow package on. All of the electric for the 7pin trailer hook up works and it comes with a drawtite electric brake module. The rear bumper and tailgate isn't in the best shape. The tailgate opens and closes very easily. The air conditioning blows ice cold and the heat works excellent. The transmission must have been rebuilt before I purchased this truck because it shifts GREAT. I have older rubber floor mats for the front and brand new weather tech rubber mats for the rear. It does come with a spare tire. The interior is clean, I have it shampooed regularly and I don't smoke. There is no weird smells or anything. The headliner in back is sagging a little. Not really noticeable but its one of the things I look at when I buy a car. This truck doesn't leak anything! It will only smoke blue when it is cold on the first start up. On the coldest day this year when the truck was parked outside at my work it has started without being plugged in. You will NOT be disappointed in this vehicle. Bid with confidence.

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
Ford GT successor to debut in Detroit and go racing
Thu, Dec 18 2014Anticipation for all of the exciting reveals at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show just a few weeks away is building to a fever pitch, and rumors are mounting that Ford has a big surprise in store in the shape of a future performance halo model. Insider sources speaking to Autoweek claim the next Ford supercar is definitely going to be revealed at the Detroit show in early January. However, the model is not necessarily the next-generation Ford GT in terms of its name or design aesthetic. Instead, one of these people indicates that the new halo model might drop retro styling altogether. If the latest reports are to be believed, Ford's high-performance project goes beyond something to just grab headlines and rocket down the street. According to Autoweek, the automaker is also reportedly employing Chip Ganassi Racing to run a two-car racing effort in the Tudor United SportsCar Championship in 2016. That would allegedly include a trip to the 24 Hours of Le Mans to race on the 50th anniversary of the Ford GT40's win in 1966. The speculation goes that at least the racing version might use a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 for power. However, the motorsports part of the program may not be announced during the auto show reveal. Rumors about the new halo car from the Blue Oval and its racing intentions have been percolating for months. The company might have considered an LMP2 entry, but speculation popped up later about the production supercar. A more recent report suggested that Ford might show a new Shelby GT350R Mustang, a successor to the F-150 Raptor and next Ford GT in Detroit.
2014 Ford Cobra Jet announced with new colors, parachute mount
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Ford's drag-strip-ready Mustang Cobra Jet is back for 2014, and it's sporting a few changes to make it even better - both in competition and while sitting still. Rolling off the assembly line ready for duty in the NHRA Stock or Super Stock classes, production of the 2014 Cobra Jet is limited to just 50 units.
Racing upgrades for 2014 include the addition of a new three-speed transmission and a parachute mount, and while these will make the car better in the quarter mile, the Cobra Jet's new colors will make it look better tearing down the track. Buyers can now get their racecars painted up in Gotta Have-It Green or a custom, Cobra Jet-exclusive matte black hue. Ford and Ford Racing have already teamed up to make this an incredible factory drag racer with a full rollcage, massive Hoosier slicks, a race-tuned suspension setup and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. Now, if only wheelie bars came standard...
Unlike the confusing third-party ordering system announced for the COPO Camaro, all you need to snatch up a 2014 Cobra Jet is $97,990 and good timing (as the cars will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis). Ordering opens up next month with production commencing in July. Check out the press release below.
