Finished from the factory in Harbor Blue, the truck received a driver-quality repaint in metallic light blue with a black half cab and trim during current ownership. The weatherstripping, door handles, hinges, locks, limiting straps, and mirrors were replaced at that time, while the rocker panels were reportedly replaced during previous ownership. The front and rear fenders have been cut and spray-on liner has been applied to the bed. Additional features include an aftermarket rear bumper, wheel arch flares, side steps, a roll bar, and a locking cargo drawer. Areas of cracked paint are documented in the gallery below.

Black-finished 16″ MB alloy wheels are wrapped in 265/75 Cooper Discoverer ATP tires, and a spare is mounted in the bed. The truck is equipped with power steering, and power-assisted front disc brakes, and modifications include a 1″ body lift kit and an aftermarket front sway bar. The seller states the locking front hubs, brake lines, front hubs, springs, shocks, ball joints, bushings, and steering linkage components were replaced and the rear brakes have been serviced.

Bucket seats sourced from a Ford Focus Titanium are upholstered in black leather with silver stitching. Equipment includes a FiTech Go-EFI controller, Auto Airair conditioning, a RetroSound Bluetooth stereo, a B&M short throw shifter, and a center console with a locking storage compartment and cupholders. The dash pad, armrests, and vinyl floor covers were replaced by the seller along with switchgear, window cranks, door handles, and pedal pads.

A leather-wrapped Grant steering wheel frames Dakota Digital instrumentation including a 120-mph speedometer and an analog tachometer with a digital readout.

The 5.0-liter V8 was reportedly sourced from a 2001 Ford Explorer and installed by the seller. It is said to have received a replacement timing chain, distributor, belts, hoses, and oil and water pumps. Modifications include the following components:

Power is delivered to the rear or all four wheels via a five-speed AX-15 manual transmission with an Advanced Adapters kit and a dual-range Dana 20 transfer case, a Dana 30 front axle, and a limited-slip rear end. The seller notes the transfer case and axles were resealed and the driveshafts were replaced.

Ford Focus ST, Fiesta ST buyers to get free Octane Academy driving school

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

The Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST have created plenty of excitement in the sport compact segment, and Ford is looking to make sure that owners are driving and enjoying their cars to the best of their abilities. As an added bonus for buying one of these sporty hatchbacks, Ford will provide a complimentary ST Octane Academy session to be held at the Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.
Attendees will be responsible for travel and lodging, but Ford will provide the driving school free of charge. Included in this two-day trip, ST owners will get class instruction and driving instruction in prepped Focus ST and Fiesta ST models on the track and autocross course. Some karting action will also be involved as will a tour of Ken Block's Hoonigan Racing headquarters located nearby. If this doesn't sound like enough fun, there is also an optional day of activities that includes some more track time in a Mustang GT and off-road instruction in an F-150 SVT Raptor.
Ford told us that those who have already purchased a Focus ST or Fiesta ST will still be able to attend the performance driving school, but the press release, which is posted below, makes it sound like it applies to original owners only. Ford has yet to announce its schedule for the ST Octane Academy or prices for additional activities or guests.

European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year

Tue, Dec 16 2014

There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
