2004 Ford Freestar Sel Mini Passenger Van 4-door 4.2l, Pioneer Audio Nav, Hitch on 2040-cars
Belle Mead, New Jersey, United States
This is my 2004 Ford Freestar SEL with 112,700 mile on it. The exterior is Arizona Beige Metallic and the interior has Pebble cloth seating. The car is running great and it's been a very reliable vehicle. With the 4.2 engine it has lots of power if you want to tow, carry heavy loads or quick entry onto highways. Upgraded features are a Pioneer AVIC F-700BT in-dash Audio, hands-free Phone, backup camera, and Navigation system, a heavy duty Class 3 hitch. The backup camera is brand new. The Pioneer also has a mini phone jack input on front. and RCA jack for audio/video in back. External seat back displays, can be added. The Pioneer plays DVDs/CD etc and has a memory card slot for additional media playing. There is a keyless entry pad on the drivers door and I have two keys and remotes.
The hitch was installed new but never used to tow anything. It is rated for 3500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight. It was only used for a hitch bike rack. The two center sliding doors are motor powered and automatically open/close with a button or the key remote. There is a backup sensor alarm. and it has a low tire pressure warning system. All tire are good and worn evenly, it has roof racks that are great for canoe/kayak carrying. I took it to the FORD dealer three weeks ago and they installed a new transmission torque converter and rear seat bracket latches under a recall. I have generally serviced and maintain my own vehicles and important service performed is 5/14, new passenger window motor, 6/13/13 fuel filter and new coil pack, new driver rear brake caliper, new front and rear brake pads, bleed all brake lines and new brake fluid, new air filter, injectors cleaned, 9/15/12 new passenger rear brake caliper. 12/10/11 93,792 miles complete tune up, plugs, wires and 5/11 new serpentine belt, new power steering pump,, new idler pulley, new camshaft syncronizer, and 7/30/11 new rear wheel hubs and speed sensors replaced. A new battery was installed last month. Routine oil, filters, transmission maintenance service has been done. Overall this Freestar has needed minimal service. I'm also including a free new set of front wheel hubs and sensors that I did not get around to installing. The front hubs are fine, but since I already changed the rears, I wanted to also do the fronts. Any car mechanic can easily install them for you if needed. The Freestar was used mostly by me in my medical equipment service business. My wife drove it for the last couple of years. We don't have young kids or animals, so the inside and seats are in good shape, very clean. The rear seat folds into a rear recess and the two captains chairs fold forward or completely remove making a lot of cargo space with a flat floor. The Pioneer in-dash navigation/phone and audio sounds great and a microphone is mounted on top of the steering wheel column for easy to use, clear voice hands-free phone through Bluetooth. Other than average use wear, the more obvious things to point out are the plastic pull handle on the rear seat is broken, The front two 12 volt power receptacles don't work and are broken inside. Replacement receptacles can be found on-line for about $10. and the center bottom base where they are mounted comes out with a couple of screws. I had an IPHONE years ago and a cable is routed to the top dash but I don't know if this cable works any more as I have not had an IPHONE for about five years. If needed, this cable is $30. There are a couple of rust spot areas as shown in the photos. I was going to grind, patch and repaint these areas but just don't have the time to do it, there is a crack in the lower driver side bumper/fog light. there is a barely visible dent in the driver side fender, which I hand pushed back out and is pretty close (no pain damage). There is a 1/2" rock ding in the windshield. It's been there for five years and has not extended further. There is a long scratch on the passanger side door plastic moulding. There is some flaking of the clearcoat paint topcoat on the top of one of the sliding doors. Recently a trac off lamp lights intermittently, I search on-line and the problem is related to some loose or oxidized connectors , I cleaned these and it seems to have stopped but, if needed, the other solution is a replacing a $30. pressure sensor. I think I got everything but there could be others but I do try to be as honest as I can. This would be a great/reliable vehicle for a small business or a great family van. It's been a great vehicle for us. |

Ford GT gets sexy shape and EcoBoost power [w/videos]
Mon, Jan 12 2015American automakers make vehicles of all shapes and sizes, but the one thing they almost invariably share in common is their front-engine layout. Niche offerings from the likes of SSC, Saleen and Vector (and the almost anecdotal Pontiac Fiero) aside, the most notable exception has been the Ford GT. And now it's back. Launched on the floor of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, the new Ford GT picks up where the last one left off the better part of a decade ago – similarly taking its cues from the original, Le Mans-winning GT40, but in a less retro, more modern form. Instead of the atmospheric V8 in the original or the supercharged one in the retro revival, the new GT packs a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 nestled in the middle of its wheelbase and driving "more than 600 horsepower" to the rear wheels. Although Ford hasn't revealed the specific output or performance figures, it says the engine – derived from its Daytona Prototype unit and mated to a seven-speed DCT – is its most powerful production EcoBoost ever. Fortunately it's got carbon-ceramic brakes to keep it all in check, packed into 20-inch wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 rubber. The discs aren't all that's made from carbon on the new Ford GT, though: it's built around a carbon monocoque with structural carbon-fiber body panels, but with aluminum sub-frames front and back. Ford designed the new GT with a narrower canopy than its predecessors, cutting the frontal aerodynamic profile and tapering towards the back. It's also equipped with active aero elements including an active rear wing. Upwards swinging doors ought to make ingress and egress easier to and from the cockpit that's fitted with fixed seats, adjustable pedals and F1-style steering wheel and a fully digital instrument cluster. The new GT is set to enter production next year to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the GT40's famous 1-2-3 finish at the 1966 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. By the time it does, we're sure Ford will let us know just how fast America's newest supercar will be.
Ford bringing adaptive steering to the masses [w/video]
Thu, 29 May 2014Within the next year, Ford will offer a brand-new adaptive steering system (unimaginatively dubbed "Ford Adaptive Steering"), and this week, the automaker invited us out to its proving grounds in Dearborn, MI to get a taste for how its new setup works. In function, Ford's system doesn't greatly differ from the majority of other adaptive steering units already on the market from companies like Audi or BMW, but consider this: Ford will be the first non-luxury automaker to offer this technology, and uniquely, the whole system fits inside the car's steering wheel.
Ford's engineers have worked hard to create a system that can be tacked on to the company's full lineup of cars, trucks and utility vehicles, and says that the adaptive steering will be uniquely tuned for each specific vehicle. The automaker will not confirm exactly which vehicle will launch with this technology, but for the purpose of our preview, we tested the technology in a 2014 Fusion - a vehicle with already-good behind-the-wheel feel, one that the company says best demonstrates its current steering efforts.
Peel and Ford Transit do a great Austin Powers impression
Tue, May 6 2014It's no secret that the average fullsize cargo van is big. Like, really big. Expressing that size, though, without actually seeing the van in question, is a pretty tall order. When viewed from the right angle, even something as big as a cargo van can appear very small (look up forced perspective, to see what we mean). That's why it's always good to have a second object on hand, to provide a sense of scale. Ford took this simple idea to the extreme, illustrating the size of the new Ford Transit by pulling the world's smallest production car, the Peel P50, nose first into the van's 487-cubic-foot cargo area. That's no big deal, though, right? After all, at just 54 inches long and 39 inches wide, the Peel would fit quite happily in even the smallest fullsize truck bed. Ford takes it a step further, though. With the help of an actual reverse gear (we're guessing this is a CVT-equipped, electric model), the P50 manages to turn itself around and drive out. It does this in less than two minutes. So yeah, the Ford Transit is a pretty big van. Take a look below for the video from Ford. This content is hosted by a third party.
