I will start by saying if it weren't for this axle issue I would still be driving this truck, rusty but trusty. The body is pretty ragged out. I take it every fall to have the frontend gone over and this year my mechanic said after changing the axle seal they could not get the axle back in and it could be up to 2k to fix the problem was unclear to me, I've put so much money into this truck over the years I decided to give up on it. The engine was replaced with a new jasper at 204566k miles along with the clutch and slave cylinder and whatever else should have been done motor mounts.. manifolds(which now leak) I had just had an exhaust put on it. It has a lot of recent parts..starter..alternator..battery stuff like that. Along with the good there is a long list of small problems. None being electrical which is what I wish I could say about the truck I replaced it with.

The plow looks rough but it works great I have kept it maintained. The mount was $670 alone, wiring $240, controller $150, I'm sure you could easily sell the plow assembly and that's what I will do if no one is interested I just think this would be a good find for someone rebuilding a truck like this.

The front wheel is leaned over I drove it home from the garage about 15 miles and it was fine but when I went to take it to have the plow mount removed last week I could not steer the truck so I've decided to list it as it is with everything. I will leave the plow off until the time of the sale to determine how it is taken, with a flatbed it could be on, with a tow truck or trailer it will need put in the bed of the truck. I can help load it in the bed by hand but we need two good backs to do it, or I might be able to do it before hand if you don't want to see it working but I can promise you it works just fine. Please ask me anything and you are welcome to come look at the truck which is probably the best idea. Thanks

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla considers Model III SUV and wagon, Ford tears Tesla apart

Mon, Oct 27 2014

Worries over Brazil's electric grid mean EVs are excluded from green car incentives. As part of a new efficiency program, non-plug-in hybrids will be eligible for a reduction in import duties, while EVs and plug-in hybrids will not. Brazil's government is concerned that the country's grid lacks the capacity to handle the increased load from an influx of EVs. Brazil plans to create a new incentive program - perhaps a more inclusive one - when the current one expires at the end of 2015. Read more at Green Car Reports. Tesla could make SUV and wagon derivatives of the upcoming Model III sedan. Tesla's VP of engineering, Chris Porritt, told Auto Express that to reach as many customers as possible, Tesla would consider all its options. "SUVs, estates - who knows?" says Porritt. He also says that while the company is currently focused on products with a broader appeal, another Roadster or other sports car aren't out of the question in the future. Read more at Auto Express. Ford admits to a Tesla Model S teardown. Ford CEO Mark Fields says that after disassembling, reassembling and driving the model S, his company is "very familiar with that product." He also says the Ford has the capability to build a similarly high-tech, long-range electric car. The questions still remains if Ford has plans for such a vehicle, but Fields says that it fits within Ford's "product philosophy." Read more at Business Insider and at USA Today.

Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.

Volkswagen Golf, Ford F-150 named 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Congratulations, Volkswagen Golf/GTI and Ford F-150. You've just been named the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year, kicking off the first press day of the Detroit Auto Show. The Golf faced some seriously stiff competition from its runners-up, the Ford Mustang and Hyundai Genesis. But the Golf has been a highly awarded vehicle since its launch, including recently being named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. As for the Truck/Utility award, it wasn't immediately clear that the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 would win the North American honor, topping the Chevrolet Colorado and Lincoln MKC. The Chevy, after all, has been widely praised since arriving this fall, including taking home MT's Truck of the Year award. In 2014, Chevrolet had a sweep of the NACTOY awards, with the Corvette Stingray and Silverado taking top honors. Here's a look at the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year voting breakdown. As you can see, it wasn't exactly neck and neck. Car of the Year Volkswagen Golf/GTI – 256 points Ford Mustang Â– 204 points Hyundai Genesis Â– 110 points Truck/Utility of the Year Ford F-150 Â– 297 points Chevrolet Colorado Â– 205 points Lincoln MKC Â– 68 points The winners were determined by the votes of 57 North American jurors who work in all forms of media Â– magazine, newspaper, television, online and radio, and their ballots were tabulated in secret by accounting firm Deloitte & Touche. Autoblog editors Sharon Carty and Chris Paukert are members of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year jury.
