F350 LARIAT SHORT BED DUALLY - FACTORY ORDERED - ARIZONA TRUCK

I ORDERED THIS TRUCK FROM THE FACTORY FROM MY FORD DEALER IN MICHIGAN WHERE I SPEND SUMMERS. LABOR DAY I ALWAYS DRIVE BACK TO ARIZONA WHERE IT IS IN MY GARAGE, UNTIL THIS LAST FALL. IT HAS NEVER BEEN THROUGH A CAR WASH AND HAS BEEN PERSONALLY WASHED AND WAXED USING MAGUIAR'S AND THEIR ORBITAL WHEEL. IT HAS BEEN BABIED.

UPON PURCHASING IT I HAVE ADDED THE FOLLOWING:

F450 OXFORD WHITE GRILLE (NO CHROME HERE).

TITAN 52 GALLON REPLACEMENT TANK AND REPROGRAMMED COMPUTER.

CUSTOM SUN SHADE, OEM RUBBER MATS AS THE OIL BUILD UP AND HEAT IN ARIZONA WHICH IF NOT ADDED COULD CAUSE ASPHALT OR OIL TO TRACK INTO TRUCK ONTO CARPET.

SNUGTOP LOW PROFILE HARD TONNEAU  IN FACTORY OXFORD WHITE AND DUAL LOCKS

OEM BED MAT

OEM CARPET MATS STILL IN DEALER'S BOX.

PIONEER AV Z2 30G COMPUTER NAVIGATION AND MUSIC LIBRARY SYSTEM - 7 INCH TOUCH SCREEN, VOICE COMMANDS, CD/DVD WITH LOCKOUT. This system is great, it has a points of interest which comes up camp grounds, motels, diesel, or whatever, by distance, then a phone number you only need to touch and its BLUETOOTH system calls handsfree. if you like what you hear, you just touch the screen and it adds a waypoint taking you there, then you may resume route. It has vocal turn by turn with picture of lanes etc, all in color and on a BIG screen.

It has BLUETOOTH handsfree talking/answering/dialing, Infrared radio/heat steering wheel controls.

TWIN ROSEN DVD players - headrest 7" screen DVDs with game control and head sets. They are set up to interact with all or any combination of the 3 screens. The Rosen can be separate DVD or slaved to either. YUP no kids fighting over movies and with headsets I did not have to listen to Mary Whats-her-name a billion times.

REAR CAMERA WITH NIGHT CAPABILITY WHEN PLACED INTO REVERSE.

ULTRA TYPE 014 POLISHED 17" WHEELS.

 

RECENTLY NEW, MICHELIN 265/70 R17 LTX AT2 TIRES "E" RATED QUIET AS A MOUSE BUT CAPABLE OF ANYTHING. A LITTLE WIDER PROFILE BUT THESE ARE REPLACEMENTS OF THE SAME TIRE I RAN OVER 80,000 ON.

NEW OEM WINDSHIELD WITH SUPERDUTY ETCHED IN TOP. I HAD A STONE SHIP SO REPLACED THE WHOLE THING. SO THERE SHOULD BE NO CHIPS OR DEFECTS IN THE WINDSHIELD.

HERE ARE SOME ADDITIONS TO THE LARIAT ( WHICH IS A LOADED TRUCK TO BEGIN WITH):

TOW COMMAND TRAILERING SYSTEM

FOLDING, HEATED, EXTENDABLE SIDE MIRRORS

POWER REAR WINDOW SLIDER

ADJUSTABLE GAS PEDAL

QUICK HEAT SYSTEM, ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (NEVER USED)

3.73 GEARING.

MOON ROOF

REAR PARKING ASSIST

60/40 SPLIT REAR SEAT WITH MANY CONFIGURATIONS - this will fold seat back down, or seat bottom up and then can fold out heavy duty metal floor rack - a combo of each side.

DUAL AUTO TEMP heat controls, tilt wheel, factory leather seating, folding and in/out adjustable heated mirrors, dual temp controls, 6 way dual power seats. Heated seats. Chrome step rails.

This truck has been babied and in may garage in Arizona until I moved to Michigan this year. It is garaged here too.

 

It has never been smoked in or in any kind of accident or used for commerical use. Only I and my wife have driven it.

I use Rotella synthetic oil. It has no dings or dents and only very very tiny stone chip in front and a couple in the tonneau lid where the bike rack broke. Its rear seat was always covered and the leather and carpet - the entire interior look brand new. I do have a GSD dog but where we traveled with her we had a custom seat cover we used.

When you do your research also consider this; when you calculate your ad ons, where will you get an non-commercial, babied Arizona truck with ALL the options, and more, not just a few?

I am sure I will be asked why I am selling? I moved to Michigan where my wife's and my family are. Voted most beautiful place nearby in US. Good for kids and since I moor my boat here all year, I don't have to pull it across the country. As a Rea Appraiser, I am driving a lot more than in the big city and no longer need such a big truck to tow my boat or drive across the country in the summer. But it is a great truck - best I have ever owned, without exception. Drive quieter than any other diesel I have riden in or driven - Please do the research or better yet test dive this or one like it.  Rides better than any of our GMC Denalis or our '02 Tahoe LT.

 

Its rear sensors and camera WITH the SHORT BED make it a snap to park - easiest to back in. One lady pulled up to me to tell me how impressed she was I stopped and slid it right in backwards seamless. Well, it was easier than parking my wife's Audi convertible. No skill sets needed here.

I noticed Carfax ESTIMATES three (3) owners. That is INCORRECT. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN A TITLE OTHER THAN THE ORGINAL WHEN I PURCHASED IT. One continuous unbroken ownership. They are just wrong.

I WILL BE HEADING BACK TO ARIZONA IN A COUPLE WEEKS UNTIL SUMMER, PROBABLY DRIVING THE TRUCK.

Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
