I have for sale a 2000 Ford F550 with a 7.3L diesel power stroke engine with an automatic transmission. The transmission does have a plate on the driver's side so you could mount a power take-off on it. In the last two months, I've bought two new batteries for it and a new power steering pump. The truck has a little under 120,000 miles on it. It has 19.5 inch tires with 40-60% tread. It runs and drives good. It does NOT have A/C or power windows, it's just a heavy duty, good work truck. I've had it about six months and have bought a newer truck, which is why I'm selling this one. Two or three months ago the speedometer quit working, which made the cruise stop working. I don't know what's wrong with it. I have added around 600-800 miles since it stopped. In the last month, I had a set of running boards put on and a 3 foot long toolbox underneath the flatbed. This is a 14 year old truck, so it does have some dents and scratches on the body, but very little rust.

The flatbed is around 8 feet wide and 9 feet long, all steel. It is in good shape. It is a Knapheide brand. It does have a gooseneck ball in the middle of the bed, and you can pull a bumper-type pull trailer behind this truck. It has the wiring to do this.

If you're interested without the flatbed on it, once paid in full I can remove it and will take $500 off the price of the truck if you'd like to mount something different on the chassis. I do have a clear Illinois title in my name for this truck.

If you have any questions or would like to come see the truck, feel free to email me.

The truck is for sale as is/where is with no warranties expressed or implied.

I reserve the right to end this listing early, as I also have the truck for sale locally.

Once paid in full, I can deliver the truck up to 250 miles for $1.50 per mile, one way.

Ford to reveal Vignale sub-brand with special Mondeo in Frankfurt

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

Ford says that 10-15 percent of its customers in Europe want their cars to be set apart from regular Fords - even those wearing the top Titanium X trim - and the Blue Oval will answer them with the Vignale sub-brand. The new brand proposes a more upscale look and a much-improved dealership experience, Autocar reports. The Vignale Mondeo will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show to kick off the new endeavor.
The first Ford to receive the Vignale treatment will be the 2015 Mondeo, a Euro-only model, followed by the new S-Max and Edge. The Vignale Mondeo is set apart visually from other Mondeos by a chrome grille and chrome door handles and mirror caps. Mondeo badging will be deleted - only Vignale badging will make an appearance.
The interior will get a more upscale flavor, as well, with quilted leather seats and door trim and leather covering the instrument panel, center console and steering wheel. A Vignale-badged storage drawer will be installed in the trunk, and in-car Wi-Fi is available.

Ford blamed in drug mule lawsuit

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

If a college student is caught smuggling drugs across the border, one might think the kid got what was coming to him. But when a Mexican student at the University of Texas in El Paso was caught by Border Patrol agents with duffel bags filled with marijuana in his trunk, the man used a classic excuse: He claimed they weren't his.
While a claim like that is almost unbelievable, Ricardo Magallanes, the student, is now suing Ford for handling its vehicles' key codes negligently enough to allow drug smugglers to break into his Ford Focus and stash the drugs, The Daily Caller reports. The twist here is that four other people who lived in Juarez and worked in El Paso were involved in the same type of scheme - allegedly unwittingly, just like Magallanes - and all the cars were Fords except one model from General Motors. FBI agents also found an employee at a Dallas Ford dealership that had accessed the key codes to all four of the cannabis-stuffed Fords.
While we all may not own Fords, the case still causes us slight paranoia. We'll definitely be checking our trunks before we cross any more international borders.

2013 Ford F-150 Limited

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

The Ford F-150 received yet another new model for the 2013 model year, the Limited trim, bringing the ways you can order this country's most popular vehicle to a grand total of 10. There really is an F-150 to suit any need now, and the Limited variant slots in at the very top of the range, above the already pampering Platinum model.
While normally I would admit that I'm the least-appropriate person to test a pickup, the fact that this particular trim places a much higher premium on luxury than anything with a bed and Blue Oval badge before it means that I don't need the workman chops of a skilled tradesman to judge how well this truck meets its true aim.
