If you have been searching for one of these and know what they are, then here is your chance to own one of the nicest ones still on the road. Best of all, this beautifully kept truck has only 83,923miles on it. The body is straight as an arrow, no dents at all on this rust free truck. This excursion has been garage kept, and all preventive maintenance has been completed by the dealer. The engine is a 6.0 diesel the has never been modified or abused, and is mechanically sound. This truck is all stock except for the aftermarket wheels and tires, costing in excess of $3500. The wheels are 22 inch chrome wrapped in Falkens. The truck has never been used to tow, although it has the capacity to tow whatever you have if need be. The interior looks practically new. There are no rips, cracks, burns, etc. The leather seats are in phenomenal condition. Ice cold front and rear A/C for these brutal summers months, and truck has hot heat and dual heated seats for those cold winters. This is the limited edition model, in arguably the most desirable color combination, black on tan. This truck needs nothing, other than a driver or a family to enjoy it for years to come. They dont make them anymore, let alone make them like this. The paint looks like youre looking into a mirror, it shines like the day it was new. No rock chips are even present. If you are in the market, then you owe it to yourself to look at this beauty. I hate to let it go, but we have just purchased a new escalade for the family vehicle. I have owned 3 excursions, currently own 2, and this is a true beauty. You can search the country and find one for less, but not with these miles or in this condition. If seriously interested, feel free to make an appointment with me to see it. I will happily answer any questions about any specifics you may have. I welcome any and all inspections to satisfy yourself as to the condition and functionality of all systems. Please note this gorgeous, well kept excursion is used, and as such, may have minor imperfections as with any used vehicle. Additionally, please dont waste my time and bid if you do not have the funds or loans arranged for. I am willing to work with your shipper, but the costs associated with are the responsibility of the buyer. I can also pick you up at the Nashville International Airport should you decide to fly in and drive it home. I am located just a few miles south of downtown Nashville. Here is your opportunity for an incredible excursion that may never come along again. This is the last year this model was made available, and the 2005 model year produced the fewest excursions of any other year, making it effectively the most exclusive model year of all the excursions. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Thanks for your interest.

Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research
Fri, 24 Jan 2014Ask any car engineer what's the biggest variable in achieving fuel economy targets, and he'll tell you "the driver." If one human can't understand human driving behavior enough to be certain about an innocuous number like miles per gallon, how is an autonomous car supposed to figure out what hundreds of other drivers are going to do in the course of a day? Ford has enlisted the help of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out.
Starting with the automated Fusion Hybrid introduced in December, MIT will be developing algorithms that driverless cars can use to "predict actions of other vehicles and pedestrians" and objects within the three-dimensional map provided by its four LIDAR sensors.
The Stanford team will research how to extend the 'vision' of that LIDAR array beyond obstructions while driving, analogous to the way a driver uses the entire width of a lane to see what's ahead of a larger vehicle in front. Ford says it wants to "provide the vehicle with common sense" as part of its Blueprint for Mobility, preparing for an autonomous world from 2025 and beyond.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
