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 paying $750 million just to close plant in Belgium

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

According to a report from Reuters, Ford is shelling out $750 million in a severance deal that will see the automaker close its facility in Genk, Belgium. The automaker reached this deal with the 4,000 hourly workers employed at the plant last week, which means the company will pay out an average of $187,500 per worker.
Ford is still negotiating with the 300 salaried workers at the factory, which currently produces the Mondeo sedan. All told, Ford expects to lose around $2 billion in Europe thanks in no small part to the region's ongoing economic downturn, and two more plants are scheduled to be shut down in Europe this year. The company will log its $750 million payout under "special items" for this quarter.
As you may recall, Ford took a similar path in the US back in 2009 when the domestic market took a spill. Back then, the company shelled out around $50,000 per employee with at least one year of experience, plus either $25,000 toward a new car or an extra cash payment of $20,000. It would seem the cost of closing plants in Belgium is a much harder pill to swallow than in the States...

Ford adding second supplier for F-150 frames

Mon, Aug 10 2015

Metalsa, the company that builds steel frames for the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, is still having trouble providing enough frames to supply the two factories that build the pickup. The snafu is preventing Ford from selling as many of the country's best-selling truck as it could, and eating into profits - even though the bottom line is still breaking company records. According to The Wall Street Journal, Ford has picked Michigan company Tower International as a second frame supplier and expects to have inventory up to a proper level at the beginning of Q4 of this year. Neither Ford nor Tower would confirm the development - Automotive News got comments from a source and pieced together bits of info from Tower's financial statements and local press reports. Tower currently builds body structures for several vehicles, including the F-series, and the Bellevue, Ohio factory that will build F-150 frames previously manufactured frames for the Ranger and Econoline. According to a story in the local Sandusky Register, Tower will add one production line at the end of next month to begin shipping frames in October, and another line in April 2016. Something like 138 full-time workers and 364 robots are expected to carry out the work. Tower's most recent financial statement said that capital investment will be necessary to get everything set up, but the contract will be worth $140 million in yearly revenue.

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.
