1996 Ford F-450 Xl on 2040-cars
Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts, United States
EMAIL : DarlynBurton9k2e23@yahoo.com INTRODUCTION Up for sale is my 1996 Ford F-Super Duty (F450) 7.3L Diesel QUIGLEY4X4 with only 57K original miles. This one of a kind truck is in as would be expected of such a low mileage vehicle. As important asthe low mileage concerning the condition of this truck is the fact that thetruck has never plowed! Never! I bought this truck almost 2 years ago from thesecond owner who loved it and cared for it as well as the original owner did. Iown a very small specialty car dealer and originally purchased the truck to sellimmediately. However, this was before I drove the truck a few times andabsolutely fell in love with it. I’ve decided to now sell the truck, andreplace it with something much less special, as last year I could not bringmyself to drive it in the winter and subject it to the harsh conditions androads of the North East. To me the truck is far too nice to use for daily work.It’s exceedingly rare to find these 7.3L trucks with such low mileage thesedays. Most have been worked to 400K miles and retired or left outside to rot.What’s even more rare is to find an old body style (OBS) 7.3L with all of itsoriginal sheet metal and undercarriage in such superb condition. Take that intoaccount before considering what this particular 7.3L is; An F-Super Duty withthe famous QUIGLEY 4X4 Conversion that was installed when the truck was new.This truck is certainly one of a kind with its infamous 7.3L Diesel, 5 speedmanual transmission, QUIGLEY 4X4, and only 57K miles. I guarantee you will notfind another one like it for sale anywhere in the country and you may never seesuch a pristine example of such a rare and desirable truck ever again. These OBSFord 7.3s are quickly becoming collector’s items, and although I know in thefuture I will regret selling it, I hate to just see it sit idle in the garage.This truck de

70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025
Wed, 11 Jun 2014In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.
Ford Focus ST diesel estate in track showdown with Focus ST hatch
Sun, Jan 18 2015Diesel hot hatches are still a concept that's gaining ground. Obviously, there are none for sale in the US, but European buyers have the choice of at least the Volkswagen Golf GTD and Ford Focus ST Diesel. What better way to find out how the new, high-performance oil-burner really stacks up than for Ford to stage a race against the gasoline-fueled Focus ST? On paper, the ST Diesel is at a big performance detriment here. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque compared to 247 hp and 266 lb-ft for the gas version in this race. However while not a factor for this race, the oil-burner does offer better fuel economy and produces less CO2, which makes a difference for European buyers. Ford skews the race results by giving the ST Diesel Estate a two-second head start for this one-lap battle around the Castle Combe Circuit. Also, this is a video from the Blue Oval, which is going to further minimize the appearance of weakness for its vehicles. Still, both STs really get to show off their strengths, and it's worth seeing how the sibling rivalry shakes out at the finish line.
Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.
