Ford: F-450 Crew Cab on 2040-cars
Willow Creek, Montana, United States
Selling my 2012 F-450 that was my work vehicle ( Salesperson ). Truck has higher miles from running Canada, the State of Montana and Idaho but runs and drives flawlessly. I average 19 Mpg on the highway and has many updates such as EGR delete, Full length Exhaust, H&S Programming, DEF Delete. Ive not pulled with this truck other than a R.V from time to time and it comes with a Reese 5th wheel hitch ( Not pictured ). Has Nitto Highway tires that are fairly new and ride very nice. Granted this is a heavy duty truck as it pulls 32,000 lbs, it rides as nice as my 1/2 ton truck. Sold the camper and bought a 1/2 ton which is only reason for selling. There is no rust, there are no scratches, one ding in the top left of the box towards the rear ( should pop out and is in the last picture ), other than the that the truck is near flawless. Im happy to send videos to anyone interested prior to bidding. The carfax is clean with no accident history. No disappointments. Fully loaded except navigation, so it has heated/cooled seats, memory seating, power moonroof, power rear slider, power pedals, keyless entry with factory autostart, no rips or tears in the leather, detailed regularly. I had a clear protective tape cover the rear dually fenders to protect from Rock Chips. If it doesnt sell Ill just keep it as I really do like it and it needs nothing. Free and clear title in hand. Please do realize even with the mileage deduct NADA states a $38,000 blue book value. Otherwise feel free to buy a new one, they are nearly $70,000. If someone wants it, I will pick the buyer up at the airport as there are 3 within 50 miles of me. Bozeman, Helana, Butte Montana are your options. Otherwise if a shipping service is going to be used, truck will be paid for prior to leaving my garage and title will be given either over night service or to the transport driver, Im flexible to a point on this, but again truck doesnt leave until cashiers check clears. Ill also accept wire transfers or cash in person. In return for the agreed amount you get the truck, the two factory keys, the title, and a Reese 5th wheel hitch. Any questions just ask, Im happy to help.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

Ford, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Every pickup truck commercial has the brand trying to convince us that its model is the biggest, brawniest vehicle on the block. But Ford and Ram appear ready to really throw down the gauntlet and scrap over the towing figures for their heavy-duty models, and it could potentially end up in court.
The issue revolves around what it means to be best in class. Ford claims that its 2015 F-450 (pictured above) has a max tow rating of 31,200 pounds, compared to 30,000 pounds for the Ram 3500 (right). However, both companies market these heavy haulers as having the top towing in their class. According to Automotive News, Ford is threatening legal action if Ram doesn't back down.
The situation isn't as simple as just comparing the numbers, though. First, the two companies calculate their towing capacities differently. Ram adheres to the SAE J2807 rating, while Ford uses its own internal system. Although, as the company introduces new models, they are certified using the SAE standard. "When an all-new F-Series Super Duty is introduced, it also will use SAE J2807," said Ford to Autoblog in an emailed statement.
