Customized Ford F350 Crew Cab Long Bed 4x4 with the legendary bullet-proof Powerstroke 7.3 Diesel with only 79,400
miles ! That's correct, a 7.3 with less than 80,000 miles! This is a rare customized Roll-A-Long vehicle with
custom Italian leather seats, custom rear bumper, custom front grill, custom fender flares, custom 3-tone paint,
custom mud flaps, custom overhead console, custom door kick plates and custom side steps. Original owner had this
truck in (dry desert) Las Vegas until July 2013. This vehicle has an Alpine touch screen stereo DVD system with the
GPS navigation module and it's wired for satellite radio (you only need to purchase a plug-and-play receiver).
Wood dash kit, power driver's seat, automatic transmission, 2" hitch receivers front and rear. This truck has
been set up to pull a fifth wheel trailer, it has fifth wheel rails, a custom fifth wheel overhead rack with
movable cross arms that allows you to carry cargo on the roof with your fifth wheel attached ( I have carried
bikes, kayaks and a storage pod on this rack while pulling my fifth wheel), has both a fifth wheel tail gate and
the original tail gate. Rear suspension has been beefed up with Torklift Stableload leaf spring pre-actuators and
Timbren suspension kit (heavy duty rubber springs similar to air bags but never leak or need maintenance), shock
absorbers upgraded to Mountain Ryder XT 's (only 9000 miles on them). Also has frame mounted Torklift camper tie
downs if you want to mount a camper instead. Sentinel electronic brake controller. Locking tool box with "gull
wing" side opening lids (no getting into the bed to access your things). The long bed was originally lined when
new with Rhino Linings spray-on liner so the bed is in excellent condition, I added a thick rubber bed pad.
Windshield was replaced last year (rock damage), four new door actuators this winter (one was broken, I had all
four replaced). Tire size upgraded to 285 / 75 R16 's. BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tires are three years old and
have only about 9000 miles on them. Non-smoking vehicle. Tow package and camper package, 3.73 limited slip axle,
day time running lights, engine block heater, power mirrors, 38 gallon fuel tank, sliding rear window. For
additional features see the picture of the original window stickers. This truck cost $46,410 when new in 1999 (not
including taxes, etc) , that's $66,975 in today's dollars (per dollartimes.com). This truck has been regularly
maintained using synthetic oil, maintenance records and owner's manuals are included. Two keys, owner's manuals,
maintenance records, clean title, pink slip (owner's certificate) in hand. Disclosure: clear coat on passenger
side shows some pealing, hood has some clear coat staining, paint and body have minor dings and scratches
commensurate with the truck's age, it looks great from 20 paces as you can see from pictures, but on close
examination you can see these cosmetic issues.

Ford barely edges surging Chrysler for Canadian sales crown in best year ever

Thu, Jan 8 2015

The auto industry in the US showed strong results through much of 2014 with sales regularly growing year-over-year for many brands. That same trend carried over in the Great White North, as well. Canada posted its best numbers ever with 1.85 million units sold, up about 100,000 vehicles over 2013. The country nearly had a new market leader, too. The big winner among our neighbors to the north in 2014 was Ford with 291,951 vehicles sold, up 3 percent from 2013, according to Reuters. That success also handed the company the sales crown for the fifth consecutive year. In large part, the strong result came from the company's popular trucks, which represented about 80 percent of overall sales. "Ford moved into the number one position in September and didn't look back," said a note to clients by DesRosiers Automotive Consultants quoted by Reuters. However, the Blue Oval didn't exactly take an overwhelming lead for the year. The company nearly had to hand over the sales trophy to FCA after the company rallied in the latter part of the year. The Italian-American conglomerate had its best results ever to nip at the Ford's heels and move 290,004 units for 2014, a 12-percent improvement from last year. Jeep especially helped the bottom line with over 50-percent growth, according to Reuters. Only two other brands were able to break the 200,000-vehicle barrier in Canada for 2014. General Motors came in third place overall with 249,800 sales, up 6.3 percent. The combined Toyota and Lexus also barely jumped the hurdle with 200,851 units moved, a 2.8 percent improvement.

The UAW's 'record contract' hinges on pensions, battery plants

Thu, Oct 12 2023

DETROIT - After nearly four weeks of disruptive strikes and hard bargaining, the United Auto Workers and the Detroit Three automakers have edged closer to a deal that could offer record-setting wage gains for nearly 150,000 U.S. workers. General Motors, Ford Motor and Chrysler parent Stellantis have all agreed to raise base wages by between 20% and 23% over a four-year deal, according to union and company statements. Ford and Stellantis have agreed to reinstate cost-of-living adjustments, or COLA. The companies have offered to boost pay for temporary workers and give them a faster path to full-time, full-wage status. All three have proposed slashing the time it takes a new hire to get to the top UAW pay rate. The progress in contract talks follows the first-ever simultaneous strike by the UAW against Detroit's Big Three automakers. The union began the strike on Sept. 15 in hopes of forcing a better deal from each major automaker. But coming close to a deal is not the same thing as reaching a deal. Big obstacles remain on at least two major UAW demands: restoring the retirement security provided by pre-2007 defined benefit pension plans, and covering present and future joint- venture electric vehicle battery plants under the union's master contracts with the automakers. On retirement, none of the automakers has agreed to restore pre-2007 defined-benefit pension plans for workers hired after 2007. Doing so could force the automakers to again burden their balance sheets with multibillion-dollar liabilities. GM and the former Chrysler unloaded most of those liabilities in their 2009 bankruptcies. The union and automakers have explored an approach to providing more income security by offering annuities as an investment option in their company-sponsored 401(k) savings plans, people familiar with the discussions said. Stellantis referred to an annuity option as part of a more generous 401(k) proposal on Sept. 22. Annuities or similar instruments could give UAW retirees assurance of fixed, predictable payouts less dependent on stock market ups and downs, experts said. Recent changes in federal law have removed obstacles to including annuities as a feature of corporate 401(k) plans, said Olivia Mitchell, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School and an expert on pensions and retirement. "Retirees want a way to be assured they won't run out of money," Mitchell said.

RTR Spec 5 Concept shows off 2015 Ford Mustang's drifty potential

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Meet the Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5 Concept, a fully functional drift car that, according to our team in Sin City, has been doling out demo drifts in front of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Destined to be the flagship of RTR's Tactical Performance Line, the Spec 5 Concept is, in addition to its 5.0-liter Aluminator V8 engine, chock full of performance parts that you can buy for your very own 2015 Mustang. In addition to the Ford Racing engine, the OEM parts supplier has lent the Spec 5 an aluminum radiator and a close-ratio six-speed transmission.
ASD Motorsports provided the front lower control arms, while the car itself rides on a fully customized coilover suspension. Magnaflow and American Racing have provided the exhaust system and headers, respectively. 20-inch HRE wheels, designed for RTR, are wrapped in sticky Nitto rubber.
