I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK A COUPLE YEARS AGO WITH THE INTENT OF BUILDING A CLEAN AND RELIABLE BACK-UP VEHICLE FOR MY LANDSCAPING COMPANY. I HAVE PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO IT. THE TRUCK RUNS STRONG AND HAS ALWAYS STARTED AND RUN WELL FOR ME. IT HAS LESS THAN 500 MILES ON IT SINCE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILD. I AM SELLING BECAUSE I AM NOW OUT OF THE LANDSCAPING INDUSTRY DUE TO HEALTH PROBLEMS. AS THEY SAY, MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN. **AT SOME POINT THE ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING- IT ONLY GOES TO 100K AND IT CURRENTLY READS "14,824".** I USED MY IPHONE FOR A SPEEDOMETER AND HADN'T GOTTEN AROUND TO FIXING IT BEFORE I DECIDED TO SELL IT.

THERE ARE A LOT OF DETAILS LISTED IN THE CONDITION ABOVE. I HAVE THE RECEIPT FROM THE TRANSMISSION/ CLUTCH/ FLYWHEEL/ U-JOINTS REBUILD/ REPLACEMENT. ($4463.12) I HAD $1000 WORTH OF WORK DONE TO THE FRONT SUSPENSION. I HAVE TONS OF TIME AND MONEY INTO THE BODY. OLD RUST WAS CUT OUT, NEW ROCKERS, CAB CORNERS, FLOOR PANS, ETC. WELDED IN, TREATED AREAS WITH RUST NEUTRALIZER "POR 15", NEW BODY MOULDING AND ROCK GUARD/ BEDLINER AROUND THE BASE OF CAB.

I USED THE TRUCK TO HAUL SKIDS OF SALT TO A CONDOMINIUM CLIENT I HAD 2 WINTERS AGO AND IT WORKED WELL. I WAS EASILY ABLE TO LOAD 4,000 LBS OF SALT ON PALLETS AND DRIVE SAFELY. THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN PLOWED WITH SINCE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILD- NOT 1 TIME. I PUT THE PLOW ON ONLY AS A BACK UP AND IT WAS NEVER NEEDED. PLOW HARNESS WAS NEW 2 SEASONS AGO. THE PLOW IS APPROXIMATELY 9'. THE PLOW MOUNT IS A HYBRID. THE COMPANY I BOUGHT THE TRUCK OFF OF USED IT AS A BACK-UP BUT THEY USED WESTIN. I HAD HINIKER SO I WELDED THE NEEDED PIECES TOGETHER FOR THE NEW MOUNT. I DROVE THIS TRUCK APPROX 250 MILES ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I MOVED LAST YEAR (WITH PLOW AND TRAILER) AND IT RAN STRONG, NO PROBLEMS. RECOMMEND INSPECTING PLOW MOUNT TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE SATISFIED, ETC. PHOTO INCLUDED.

I DID USE IT TO DELIVER APPROXIMATELY 5 LOADS OF MULCH LAST YEAR. I DROVE IT AN AVERAGE OF 1X PER MONTH SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. I DID NOT RUN IT LAST WINTER AT ALL. I WENT OUT TO START IT ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP ON THE FIRST CRANK. I DID NOT EVEN NEED TO CHARGE THE BATTERY.

THE TRUCK RAN GOOD WHEN I PURCHASED IT BUT I BEGAN REPLACING THE COMPONENTS THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO REPLACE WHEN IT WAS 5 BELOW OR 95 IN THE SHADE. I HATE TO SELL IT BECAUSE OF THE MONEY (NOT TO MENTION TIME) THAT I HAVE PUT INTO IT. HOWEVER, I WOULD RATHER SOMEONE ELSE GET TO USE IT THAN HAVE IT SIT AT MY HOUSE.

THIS IS NOT A SHOW TRUCK BUT IS A PRESENTABLE WORK TRUCK. I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC OR BODY MAN. I AM SURE THAT I HAVE INADVERTENTLY FORGOTTEN TO MENTION SOME THINGS. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME TO LOOK AT THIS TRUCK IN PERSON.

I WANT YOU TO BID ON WHAT IT IS AND NOTHING ELSE. TRUCK SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS. I AM NOT OFFERING A WARRANTY AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU FOR LOOKING.

Ford Focus RS will go global, come to US

Thu, Dec 11 2014

"We are transforming our approach to performance." – Mark Fields Ford will launch a new high-performance Focus RS around the world, including the United States, company CEO Mark Fields confirmed at a press conference Thursday morning. It is expected to debut in January at the Detroit Auto Show, though launch timing is unclear. "We are transforming our approach to performance," Fields said. The RS will serve as a hotter variant of the Focus, which will be redesigned next year as part of Ford's 16 product launches. Our spy photographers have already captured images of a purported RS, which you can see above. Ford last sold a Focus RS in Europe in 2009, and it continues the long lineage of RS-badged performance cars, which dates to 1968. "The RS has a significant heritage and pedigree," Ford product chief Raj Nair said. The Focus RS will slot above the Focus ST, which will continue, a spokesman said. The ST runs a turbocharged, 252-horsepower four-cylinder that's paired with a six-speed manual transmission. It also has chassis and design upgrades to reinforce its athletic dynamics. The most recent intel suggests that the new RS could use Ford's 2.3-liter turbo-four, tuned to anywhere from 325 to 350 hp. All-wheel drive is also rumored to be part of the new RS formula. Meanwhile, Ford announced it is putting all of its sporty units under the umbrella name of "Ford Performance," which will be led by Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak. Ford Performance will include Ford Racing, SVT (which is responsible for the Raptor and Shelby GT350) and RS. "We're changing Ford's performance business," Nair said. Ford is placing a renewed emphasis on performance, as the customers tend to be younger, wealthier and better educated, Nair said. In other news, Nair said the company is working on a Raptor version of the new, aluminum-bodied F-150, which launched this year. "I want to get it out as quickly as we can," he said.

Ford Transit customs ready to work for SEMA

Fri, 31 Oct 2014

Ford's booth at the SEMA Show this year looks to have two, big themes. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen takes on the 2015 Mustang to the event, and it's now also announcing five customized versions on the 2015 Transit to join the modded pony cars. Each of the vans shows off a different use for the spacious commercial vehicle, from plush luxury to offroad ruggedness.
You probably don't think of the Transit as hitting the trails, but that's just what the take on the design from the Vegas Off-Road Experience (pictured above) is for. The company gives people the opportunity to drive a desert race truck, and this custom is meant to drive them to events. It should be able to take on the terrain a little better with off-road wheels and tires and fender flares, but inside passengers get serious luxury thanks to a 60-inch LED TV and video game systems.
Alternatively the blazing red Designed Travel Transit (right) is all about long road trips. The interior features four captain's chairs with heating, cooling and massage functions, and there's a 4K 50-inch TV to watch. For a touch of added class, the floor is made from hickory.

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.
