Thanks for looking! Up for sale is my 2001 FORD F-350 XLT WITH THE 7.3L POWERSTROKE DIESEL ENGINE. I am the original owner and the truck has served me very well over the past 13 years! The truck has ONLY 158500 MILES, has always been a NON SMOKING vehicle, has NEVER PLOWED, and has ONLY OCCASIONALLY TOWED a small 4000 lb. boat trailer. The exterior of the truck is in very good condition with minimal rust at the bottom of the cab (see pictures) and underneath where the running boards attach. There are only a few minor dings in the body. The entire box bed I had replaced and painted two years ago and is perfect! The chrome bumpers are original and in excellent shape. The interior seats have been covered since new and are literally like new underneath. The cup holder trim on the dash snapped off years ago but the holder is still functional. The power windows all work and the power locks work from the inside of the truck but only the driver's side front and rear work from remote. I do have both keys and remotes. The front windshield has a chip near the rearview mirror, but I will have that replaced before the successful bidder takes the truck. The front tires are decent but the rears will need replacing within 5000 miles. The ball joints were replaced at 130000 miles and the front end is tight and the truck is a pleasure to drive. Batteries were replaced 1 1/2 years ago and the alternator was replaced last year. 4 wheel drive works well but the hubs need to be locked and unlocked manually.

Overall a great truck I hate to see go, but I have to make room for the new 2014 I drove home last week! I have a reasonable reserve on the truck and please note that the vehicle is available for sale locally as well. Any local sale will take precedent over this listing.

Thanks again, and please contact me with any questions you may have.

Ford files trademark for 'EcoBeast' moniker

Mon, Dec 29 2014

Ford has done some performance stuff with its EcoBoost line of vehicles, most notably with its Focus and Fiesta ST, the new, turbocharged Mustang and the luke-warm Taurus SHO and F-150 Tremor, but it's kind of avoided going wholly bonkers. That could be set to change quite soon, judging by a trademark filing with Uncle Sam. Ford has registered the name EcoBeast with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, listing it as "automobiles and automobile engines," according to the team at Motorlix, which discovered the filing. As always, it bears mentioning that companies are constantly filing trademarks, even if a good or service never emerges with said name. We agree with Motorlix, though – it seems highly unlikely Ford is going to just let this name languish. What vehicle or engine will wear this new badge is the real question. We're leaning towards something F-150 related, based on our last round of spy photos of the new SVT Raptor, although it's impossible to say for certain what the Blue Oval has planned. Here's hoping we find out in just a few weeks when Ford brings basically all of its performance merchandise to the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Until then, let us know what you think Ford is planning with the EcoBeast.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."

Project Ugly Horse: Part V

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.
