Behold the behemoth of Heavy Duty Hauling: The truck we lovingly call "Obi Wan Kenobi."
This 1997 Heavy Duty F-250 is the hard-to find Short Bed Crew Cab version, and it has been updated with an Air Ride load leveling air bag kit. This kit cleverly connects between the leaf spring perch and the hitch in the rear, meaning you can dial in this truck to sit perfectly straight under just about any load. I towed a 25' Airstream like it wasn't there. I hauled a cabover camper while towing a trailer with my rock crawler: No bounce, no jounce. It's the perfect tow vehicle. It's also the perfect construction hauler. I've used this truck for more than a few trips to the dump with construction debris, instead of hiring trash removal services. The truck paid for itself in 6 trips on one construction job! Need to get construction materials like pavers or bricks? This dude will take a 2000 lbs palette straight from a fork lift and then beg for more! On the outside, this truck looks like it's been through Hell and Back. It is obvious that nobody has every cared for the appearane of this beast. There's dings, scratches and dents on every body panel. The interior is... "trucky," with some vinyl cracks and a few stains here and there in the fabric upholstery. No tears though. But overall, it's rough and ready, just the way I like it, and just the way the prior owner liked it also. I prefer a truck that I can USE without fear. Frankly, I thought I would have killed this rig a long time ago, but like a Russian character out of an Action flick, this Heavy Duty Ford is exactly that: Heavy Friggin' Duty! The BAD: The front differential ran out of lubricant, and broke some teeth two days after i got the truck 3 years ago. The front hubs are now disengaged and the front drive shaft has been removed, and the truck is a 4x2 until this is fixed. I never really needed 4x4. But I have purchased a replacement 4:01 front pumpkin that will be included in the auction, and it should cost around $350 to install it at your local 4x4 shop. If you're handy and have the right tools, you can do this job yourself in about half a day. Rear passenger door window crank motor is shot, or might need wiring repair. Rear door lock solenoids are sticky and need more than one push of the button sometimes to lock/unlock. Dash pad has vinyl scratches and gouges. There is a statue of Obi-Wan Kenobi glued rather crudely onto the dashboard. He glares at the passenger of this rig at all times. The GOOD Mechanically, this truck is quite sound, with only 133,000 miles (and counting) on it. The E4OD transmission seems to have been rebuilt, it shifts quite firmly without a load, and just right under load. The 460/7.5L engine fires up every time and runs smoothly. Pulls like all 460s: Hard. I've had it tuned up real good last year, and it passes smog easily, with new plugs, MAF sensor and cleaned injectors. Tow package with an extra HD transmission cooler. New brake pads all around, two new front calipers, and front alignment: $1500 Warn front lock out hubs. Pre-wired to accept a Six Pac Cabover Camper electrical plug. Also comes with custom tie-down points for cabover campers on the bed. Just paid $400 to have all the wiring done properly last Thanksgiving. Brand new BF Goodrich Rough Terrain tires all around, which cost me close to $1000 installed last week. New Battery installed last fall. New Heater Core element installed last year. AC and Heater work as new. SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS, NO WARRANTY, NO SHIPPING. This rig is also listed locally, so I reserve the right to end this listing early, so bid often and early! Do the math: This truck has $1000 in new tires, and $1500 in brakes in the last 5000 miles. Bidding starts at $2000 with no reserve. Enough said. I have a perfect feedback rating so far as a seller, and I intend to keep it that way. What you see is what you get. This is a rough and ready work truck, nothing more, nothing less. I bought it to tow my Airstream trailer, my Rock Crawler, and to do some construction hauling. It's paid for itself on the hauling alone, and it's time for me to upgrade to a more... refined travel vehicle for my wife/kids. But whoever picks this beast up for work... Obi-Wan won't let you down. Clear title. No back fees. Full tank of gas. Go! Good luck bidding. |

Ford looks back on 50 years of the Mustang in Detroit
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Ford has something special sitting in its booth here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. In fact, it brought two special somethings in the form of the Ford Mustang 1 Concept that first saw the light of day in 1962 and the very first production Mustang that rolled off the production line in 1964.
These classic creations are sharing floor space with the brand-new 2014 Mustang in honor of the pony car's 50th Anniversary. Since Ford's latest 'Stang already made its auto show debut (at a number of locations, including Los Angeles), we think it's pretty cool that the Blue Oval did something special for its home-town show.
Check out both the Mustang 1 Concept and first production 1964.5 Mustang above and below.
Guess which brand's not on a top 10 list of best EVs (hint: it's Tesla)
Thu, Jun 22 2023Few surprises lurk in Autotrader’s list of its 10 best electric vehicles of 2023, but there is one that stands out: no Teslas. There's Hyundais and Kias, Porsches and Fords, a BMW and a Nissan. But Â… no Teslas. Although many of us admit to being over-Musked and tired of reading about him, the lack of a Tesla model on a selection of the 10 most desirable current EVs is conspicuous by its absence. Asked about this particular omission, we received this rather vague response from Autotrader spokesperson Brenna Buehler at Cox Automotive: “Tesla models were included in consideration but didnÂ’t get sufficiently high scores by the Editorial team to qualify for the top 10.” At least some Tesla offerings appeared to meet all the requirements set by the website. The manufacturers must offer 2023 model year vehicles, and they have to be sold in at least 15 states. Check. Only pure EVs were allowed on the list; there are no hybrids, plug-in hybrids or hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. Check. The base manufacturer's suggested retail price must be less than $100,000. Check. Let the debates begin. Moving on, it should be noted that two Genesis models, a G80 sedan and GV 60 SUV, are listed, along with a Lucid Air midsize sedan, the Rivian R1T pickup, and the Porsche Taycan. Here is the full list, with the remarks and comments from Autotrader's raters. (And we've included links to Autoblog's own reviews for a deeper dive). The EVs are listed in alphabetical order by brand, so don't read anything into the order of presentation: 2023 BMW i4 BMW reboots its EV approach and comes up with a winner: Whatever you thought of BMW's first run at EV, the i3, it was missing a certain something – it didn't look or perform like a BMW. The 2023 BMW i4 corrects course with a Gran Coupe that our editors agree looks and drives like a BMW. 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Ford's electric pickup gathers steam in its second year: The F-150 Lightning somehow synthesized decades of pickup truck knowledge with the latest and greatest EV technology and infused thoughtful details and user-friendly features. 2023 Genesis Electrified G80South Korea's luxury brand shows how to elevate the executive EV sedan without breaking the bank: Genesis, Hyundai's luxury offshoot, rethought the gasoline-powered luxury sedan, the G80, and developed the 2023 Genesis Electrified G80. Precisely as the name hints, the Electrified G80 replaces the G80's engine with an all-wheel-drive EV powertrain.
