If you've been looking for a well cared for heavy duty truck and want to put your own commercial bed on it than my extremely well cared for 1-Owner Ford F450 with the 7.3L Powerstroke is for you.

Mechanically this truck is solid. Motor fires right up with no hesitation or smoke. Sounds healthy through all the RPM's with no missing or blow by. Transmission shifts beautifully through all the gears with no slipping or funny shifts. Drives down the road like it has 60k on it. No shimmies, brake pulse, or driveline noise. Just an overall great running truck that has been meticulously maintained over the years. I just sold a 2002 with 150k that doesn't even come close to how nice this one drives. A/C is ice cold. Power windows and locks work. Has like new tires all the way around. Has a good PA inspection until 8/14. Get this truck and put whatever bed you want on it. 

Cosmetically it doesn't look like it has 344k. Paint shines like the day it left the showroom. Definitely garage kept. Body is nice and straight with the exception of a door ding that's shown in the pictures. Has a couple of light scratches but overall your jaw will drop when you see how nice it is. Alcoa wheels are in great shape. Frame is free of rust. Interior is extremely clean and shows little wear. Smells good inside and wasn't smoked in.

Overall this is a great platform to throw your bed of choice on to and get on the road knowing what kind of previous owner had this truck. If you have any questions please feel free to give me a call at 717-823-3349. My name is Zach. If you would like to see it in person please call and make an appointment. I am only human and may have missed something that is important to you so please ask any questions before buying. Although this truck is in incredible shape it does have 344k and is not a 2015. A $500 non refundable deposit is due at the end of the auction. This truck is being sold by Platinum Car and Truck Sales, LLC in Elizabethtown, PA

Bill Ford op-ed argues we can't just build and sell more of the same cars

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

It's hardly a secret that the auto industry is undergoing an enormous, tectonic shift in the way it thinks, builds cars and does business. Between alternative forms of energy, a renewed focus on low curb weights and aerodynamic bodies, the advent of driverless and autonomous cars and the need to reduce the our impact on the environment, it's very likely that the car that's built 10 years down the line will be scarcely recognizable when parked next to the car from 10 years ago.
Few people are as able to explain the industry's many upcoming changes and challenges as clearly as William Clay Ford, Jr., better known as Bill Ford. The 57-year-old currently sits as the executive chairman of the company his great-grandfather, Henry Ford, founded over 110 years ago.
In an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Ford explains that the role of automakers is, necessarily, going to change to suit the needs of the future world. That means changing the view of not just the automobile, but the automaker. As Ford explains it, automakers will "move from being just car and truck manufacturers to become personal-mobility companies."

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
