Very rare opportunity here. I am selling my truck because I really dont need this much truck. Most of the mileage was put on in the first 3 or 4 years. After that it ranged fro 2k -5k in a year. It only got that because I did not want it sitting and developing problems.

If you are seriously interested,contact me, I will end auction early until if and when reserve is met.

I will say up front that I know the price is premium. It is a premium condition truck and I have no intention of giving it away.  I have been watching and it is a super rare occasion that a regular cab truck comes available that is not worked to death. The truck was not detailed for pics or to sell. I took it out of the garage to take the pics and put it back. It stays this clean and stays inside.

Please bid only if you have the funds available to follow through. E bay is not cheap and if it meets reserve the final fees kick in.

Try finding this set up anywhere, chances are slim. If you want a regular cab loaded truck, Get it now. You will be very hard pressed to find a 10 year old truck in this condition. That being said, I dont have to sell it, but I would really like to see it used more for what it is. You can get in it right now and tow your camper,boat, or whatever, or you can hop in and go coast to coast. I is a very comfortable truck to drive. It is very easy to enter and exit with the grab handles and exterior steps.

The inside of the bed is used. I bought it for a truck, not a 34 thousand dollar people transport. There are scratches and probably some small dents in there. With the tonnea, you dont see them. If you have issues with the scratches, have it rhino lined. There is no rust in the cargo area.

Everything on the truck works just as it did when new.

I orderd this truck myself and have been the only driver on it since new. Actually my wife drove it a few times. It was never loaned out. Witht the exception of being in for service it was never out of my control.

Unless I was away with it, it never sat outside. It has been a garaged vehicle since new. The only option not on the truck is the back up sensors in the bumper. Not really sure why I did not just have them put on also. Every other option and package available was put on the truck when ordered.

The pictures are very self explanatory. You will be hard pressed to find a match to this truck. To this day I will be asked if it is new. Obviously it is normally people who dont know the visual difference of the newer models. Condition wise this is a solid 9.5 out of 10.

The top of the cab is just under 7 ft so it will fit in a 7 ft garage door. It is a 137 inch wheelbase

First the flaws. Left front corner of hood there is a small ding which I got on the PA turnpike last year. No idea what is was but sounded like a boulder hit it. easy repair but not without paint. Not very noticeable unless you are looking for it. The tailgate has two or 3 small dings from yours truly backing into a mailbox. These will come out with dent wizard but again you have to look for them.

On the interior there is a very fine scratch on the passenger side dash in the plastic caused by a buddy.

Thats it,  the rest is as close to brand new condition as you can get.

Original Items;  8800 gvwr package

All power, A/C, windows,locks, power and heated mirrors, power pedals,6 way drivers power seat, Interval wipers,cruise control, AM/FM/Casette/ single CD, Tilt wheel

Options included

Trailer tow package.

Package 607A  6.8 L V10 engine, 4 speed automatic transmission,3.73 axle ratios with limited slip rear

Advanced security group  Auto locks, auto headlights, Remote keyless entry

Bright tubular cab steps    sliding rear window   Camper package-rear stabilizer bar

FX4 Package   Skid plates    roof lights   Deluxe aluminum wheels ( removed after about 2-3 years, come with truck, still look brand new)

Snow plow package   Trailer hitch receiver,  cloth captain chairs,  

I ordered the manual front hubs and the manual 4wd shifter. I do not like the automatic and electronic crap. I have several friends who have had nothing but issues with the electronic.

The reason I had all of the available packages put on was that each one had something different in it.

This truck is sitting bare bones stock. It sits higher than my buddies F350 because of the spring packages.

Items I added

Tires and wheels. The tires DO NOT RUB.  They are in excellent shape. One year I had it in the mountains and had bad weather. I got sick and did not get it cleaned for a few weeks. The wheels got a little corrosion on them that you can see if you look close at the pics.  The original wheels are premium high polished aluminum and come with the truck if you want them.

Rear air assist air bags, can be seen in the pics. I run 5-8 lbs in them so that it does not drop when my quad is in the back. They do not harshen the ride.

Side and rear windows are tinted

Rear tonneau cover, May not be snapped in pics, but it is now and the print marks you see in the pics is from being rolled up. They do come out.

I changed my brakes and rotors just because of age, The pads were still 80% or better. I put slotted/dimpled rotors which have a lifetime no warp warranty. I do not know if it is transferrable.

It has a K&N air filter

Brake controller mounted I believe with velcro in the little cubby hole in the dash.

I have used Mobil one synthetic oil since after break in. It does not use any oil at all and has NO leaks.

Performance on the V10 is very impressive. The engine does not have to work hard at all. Around town and any towing will be 10 MPG just about always consistent. On the highway I have seen 14 MPG but again that is Highway running 65-75 mph. When I bought the truck I made chart comparisons with V10 vs diesel. Although the diesel hp and torque were higher, In the long run it never would have paid off for me. The cost of the diesel option, the extra cost of servicing and the fact that the fuel mileage is very comparible with diesel, and being 40 cents average higher per gallon, it did not make sense. This is my 2nd V10 and I would do it all over again. I have seen the banks Performance package numbers which wake this engine up even more.

Canadian buyers responsible for any paperwork to cross the border and all arrangements.

Local pick up. If you want it shipped its up to you, I will be available for shipper to pick it up. I can deliver for a fee depending where to. All money must be clear before truck is released. If you have concerns, I urge anyone to have a third party inspection. I will take it to any local shop of your choice.

10 yers old so no warranty expressed or implied, as is so be sure before you bid.

Any questions I can and will answer. I reserve the right to end auction early for any reason. If we meet reserve the auction will not end early so again I would ask you to bid only if you can follow through.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW tests AdBlue pumps, Drivr is a Tesla taxi service

Thu, Jan 22 2015

BMW is testing AdBlue pumps in Germany. AdBlue fluid is used to remove NOx from diesel exhaust, and it is stored in its own tank within the vehicle. Filling AdBlue is easy enough for drivers to do it themselves, and with the proliferation of diesel vehicles in Europe, a pump filling system could make more sense than using the current hand-held containers. BMW is testing AdBlue pumps at three fueling stations in Munich and Berlin to help develop further AdBlue dispenser technology. Read more at Green Car Congress. Drivr Green Personal Transportation is a Tesla taxi service in Cincinnati. Two former employees of Tesla Motors founded the startup, which bills itself alongside ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft. Customers book a ride online, and are picked up by a Tesla Model S. The ride costs $2.50 per mile with a $15 minimum. Drivr currently operates three cars with seven drivers, with plans to lease another 10 Teslas and employ up to 30 drivers. The service will also be expanding to Denver soon, according to the website. Learn more at the Drivr website, or read more at Clean Technica. Ford is opening a research and development facility in Silicon Valley. The Ford Research & Innovation Center, which will be located less than three miles from Tesla Motors headquarters in Palo Alto, California, is expected to be one of the automotive industry's largest R&D facilities. "We're driving to be both a product and a mobility company, and ultimately to change the way the world moves," says Ford CEO Mark Fields. Read more at Automotive News. Law firms advising Fisker Automotive have been denied a $2.50-million fee enhancement in the car company's bankruptcy. Brown Rudnick LLP and Saul Ewing LLP were denied the extra fees, as a Delaware bankruptcy judge ruled there is "no evidence" that the firms provided anything more than what they originally expected. In denying the fee enhancement, the judge cited a "very high bar" for such awards. Read more at Law360.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.

Ford opens research center in Silicon Valley

Fri, Jan 23 2015

These days, the software running a vehicle's myriad of electronic systems seems to be getting nearly as much development focus from automakers as the traditional mechanical parts that keep a car going. Constantly improving that technology requires a lot of experimentation, though, and Ford is expanding its presence in Silicon Valley with the just-opened Research and Innovation Center Palo Alto to make that progress possible. Ford opened its first office in the country's technological hub in 2012 to draw talent and devise ways to deal with vast amounts of sensor data. Apparently, setting up shop in Silicon Valley was deemed a success because the Blue Oval decided to create this new lab in the Stanford Research Park to focus on five areas: connectivity, mobility, autonomous vehicles, customer experience and analytics. Among the center's potential projects, Ford is hoping to develop better natural speech recognition, which is absolutely vital for improving infotainment systems. Assuming the tech eventually works well enough, your voice might even be used to adjust a vehicle's power seats, according to the automaker. The Blue Oval is also letting engineers from Stanford University test autonomous driving algorithms on a self-driving version of the Fusion. In a smaller stakes venture, researchers are working to get a Nest smart thermometer to automatically adjust the temperature at home depending on if an owner's vehicle is leaving or coming back. To really show that its serious about these ventures, Ford hired Dragos Maciuca away from Apple as the center's technical leader. The automaker also wants to have 125 researchers at work there by the end of the year.
