I purchased this truck in 2010 and haven't had any issues with driveability. I would feel comfortable driving it from Alabama to California. The cruise control, air conditioning, power locks/windows, radio/cd player all work fine. All fluids are good as well. I used the four wheel drive last week in the rare snow that we had and it works great. The truck has the 4x4 off road package and towing package. I've pulled bass boats and trailers with no issues. It really was a great little truck for me; I just traded my car in for a GMC Sierra and now it's time to sell this truck.

As far as maintenance is concerned, I put new All-Terrain tires on it in 2012 and probably have less than 10,000 miles on them (I have a daily commuter car). I had to replace the alternator on it last year, and put in a new battery. While I had the the alternator off, I went ahead and replaced the serpentine belt so it's basically new. I also replaced the front ball joints, brake pads and rotors last year as a weekend project.

The only thing I would like to note is that if you want to unlock the doors with the key (I always use the remote), the key only works on the passenger door. But seeing as how I always used the remote, this was never an issue for me.

My preference is that the buyer come pick up the vehicle instead of shipping. I can meet at the airport if needed. I am located in Tuscaloosa, but I don't mind driving to the Birmingham airport if need be.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.

Ford EV Chief: 150 kW fast charging could be the norm

Fri, May 1 2015

Ford's electrified-vehicle sales aren't exactly at the top of the charts this year, but that hasn't stopped Mike Tinskey, the automaker's global director of electrification and infrastructure, from being rather enthusiastic about advancements in various forms of more environmentally sustainable mobility. Tinskey, in an interview with The Verge, spoke of a world with really fast plug-in vehicle chargers. And of vehicles that can be re-parked using a remote driver. How fun. Tinskey, who touts SAE/combo fast-charging charging specification as the most likely to take the global leadership position, said a 150-kilowatt charger could be on the market "very soon." That'd mean an electric vehicle could be 80-percent recharged in just 20 minutes. Today's quickest units, the Tesla Supercharger, can crank out up to 120 kW. Some companies are touting 100-kW charging times, despite the lack of compatible chargers. Tinskey also spoke about Ford studies of a so-called "Remote Repositioning" feature, which would allow cars to be re-parked at night using a remote driver over a cellular network as spaces empty up, cutting down traffic, needless driving and pollution as a result. We're sure ready for such a thing. Through the first quarter of this year, sales of Ford's hybrids, plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles are down 28 percent from a year earlier to about 15,000 units. Sounds like those improvements Tinskey speaks of can't come soon enough. Featured Gallery 2012 Ford Focus Electric: Quick Spin View 18 Photos News Source: The Verge Green Ford
