This is my ONE owner Excursion with less than 80k miles.  I purchased it in Alabama and have lived here the entire time.  Everything works as it should, nothing needs to be fixed.  Rear passenger brake caliper has slow seep from banjo bolt.  Recent 2500 mile trip resulted in loss of a couple ounces tops.  Haven't bothered doing anything to it.  No leaks elsewhere.

This vehicle has been well maintained.  Oil changes every 2500-3500 miles with Motorcraft 5w-20.  All other fluids have been changed at least once.  New fuel filter twice.  New Battery in 2013.  The rear expansion valve was replaced in early 2012 and AC system was recharged.  Both front and rear systems work perfectly.  Brakes have never been changed and probably could be but they stop well and make no noise at this moment.  The truck was lifted in 2004 and 35s were installed.  The rear end was changed in 2009 from 3.73s to 4.56s.  Mileage dropped a little but acceleration improved and made it more fun to drive.  Gears were broken in for 500 miles and the fluid was changed and tolerances checked.  No noise nor problems.  I had a flat tire and changed the rears to used 37s, but the front are still 35s.  It is 2WD so tire difference is not an issue.  Then I got new tires all around, still 35s in front and 37s in rear.  37s will not clear in front without cutting or more lift.  Tires have less than 10k miles.

Truck has a 5gal air tank, pump and Triple Horn Train Horns.  Horn is switched with stock horn operated by OEM horn switch.  OEM radio has been removed and everything upgraded.  Polk separates and an Orion (old school) sub installed.  The HCCA amp got tired and an Alpine was installed but the Orion SX still powers the rest of speakers.  In dash DVD  with rear AV IN/out is also installed for Game Systems or more Monitors.  It also has a 400W inverter installed near amps for power to monitors and game systems.

I changed all 10 plugs and boots before it hit 70k.  Didn't change COPs but rotated the back 2 as they see more heat and fail first.  Might help prevent that issue.

Truck was involved in a minor crash on April Fools day (in 2005 I think) where someone idles into the rear bumper.  Damage was less than $500 and it was never repaired.  Can barely see little dent in drivers rear bumper near reverse sensor.  No other accidents.  All reverse sensors work and has receiver installed as all of them do.  I have a hitch mounted spare carrier and a spare 35" tire.  I have a couple spare 37s if wanted as well, no extra rims.  One rim has damage from the flat but is only cosmetic.  A run away shopping cart or something hit passenger door.  No abrasion to paint but has a small dent/imperfection.  Has only one door ding as it is never parked near other vehicles without taking 2 spots.  Ding is standard door ding and located near fuel fill door.  It has a Flowmaster Super 40 single in dual out muffler with dual 5" tips.  Carpet has always been covered with mats and is close to new.  No mods to engine or trans.  Most of the standard black plastic has been covered with Line X.  Running boards, grill guard, lower front valance, rear lift glass plastic and wiper, rear plastic bumper cover.  It could use a refresh as is not perfect, but better than grey.  Windows tinted all around.

I might have forgotten something but listed all the bad. Truck gets driven rarely so mileage will increase.  I use it mainly as a travel vehicle and will drive it anywhere without worry.  In 2013 we drove it to SD twice and to FL once.  Can help with delivery for price of gas and return flight if needed.  Excursion gets a consistent 10-11 mpg in the city and 12-14 on the road.  You may get a little better on the road as I always set cruise at 9 over.  Was forced to do 60mph for about 100 miles and it returned almost 16mpgs.  I can take any pics you need, just ask.  I might have left something out so ask away.

Ford to spread all-wheel drive across performance range

Tue, Feb 10 2015

Car and Driver took a closer look at the all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS, Ford reps having made "broad hints" about it being applied to other performance vehicles. One spokesperson even said that he "can see this as one of those technologies of the future." That would make sense because, as C/D notes, it couldn't have been an inexpensive job to engineer the torque-vectoring unit for the Focus – one that can send 70 percent of torque to the rear wheels, and send 100 percent of that portion to either wheel if needed. C/D also clues into the system's close similarity to the AWD unit in the recently updated Range Rover Evoque, which is manufactured by Sweden's GKN Driveline. In the Evoque, torque vectoring is brake based and two electronically controlled clutches turn the Range into a front-wheel-drive crossover under 22 miles per hour. Ford wouldn't comment on the GKN Driveline connection, or even if there is one. No matter where it might come from, more performance Fords are good for every enthusiast, and we do not look an AWD, torque-vectoring gift horse in the mouth.

Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.

Baby Ford Ranger and electrified Dodge Challenger? | Autoblog Podcast #569

Fri, Jan 25 2019

In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Green Editor John Beltz Snyder. They address a couple interesting news topics, including an upcoming Ford pickup that's smaller than the Ranger, as well as a future electrified Dodge Challenger. They also opine about the new Honda Urban EV prototype that's scheduled to debut at the Geneva Motor Show. Then they talk about the cars they've been driving, including the new Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid, Volvo V60 and Audi A6. Finally, they take a question from Autoblog's recent Reddit AMA to help spend a Redditor's money.
