DIESEL CAMPER/RV/TOY HAULER/BUS

SO MANY POSSIBILITIES

2002 E-450 Toy Hauler with a 7.3 Turbo Diesel. We have been using this vehicle for the past 3 years to sell our automotive paint products at car shows.

The front half has been converted to a very comfortable living quarter that consists of a futon that makes into a very comfortable double bed with a single bed on top, enabling it to sleep three people. It also comes with a remote power generator and a 1000 watt invertor system that will power the electric auxiliary heater. It comes with a 22” flat screen color TV, DVD player and refrigerator, as well as lighting while you go down the road.

Then when you stop you can either plug into a 110 hook up or power the whole rig with the quiet 110 generator. This vehicle was in use from when it was new as an airport shuttle and then the last three years on the road for us going to automotive swap meets. This vehicle has 200,000 miles but has always had professional routine service so it is as dependable as a new one.

I would not hesitate to drive this vehicle to California and back with no issues. It has no oil or fluid leaks, lots of power and gets 13 to 15 MPG highway.

It has two ramps you can use to load a 4 wheeler, golf cart, or two motorcycles in the 8x8 ft cargo area in the rear. We also have the original wheel chair lift we removed that is available for purchase for an additional $300.00 that works perfect for 4 wheelers and motorcycles. It also has a class 2 hitch.

Condition as follows, HOT HEATER, COLD AIR, 3 BATTERIES ONLY ONE YEAR OLD, BRAKES RECENTLY CHANGED, REAR FOUR TIERS 50 T0 60% TREAD, FRONT TIERS NEW, NEW INJECTORS THIS YEAR, AS WELL AS NEW LIFETIME STARTER, BELTS, HOSES ALL NEW THIS YEAR, 15,000 MILES ON REBUILT TRANSMISSION LAST YEAR.

Bid with confidence this would be great for many uses. With the economy we are down sizing out fleet so this truck is selling at NO RESERVE AUCTION. If you are the last bidder you will own it.

Fly in and drive it home or we will deliver for $1.25 per mile (pre payment only)

$500.00 deposit within 24 hours……balance within 3 days.

Vehicle can be stored here up to 30 days at no charge,,,,,$25.00 per month thereafter.

Any questions please call Rob at 417-860-8950.

GOODLUCK AND HAPPY BIDING

***Special note: The shelving and folding tables pictured in the cargo area at the rear of the bus not included in sale and will be removed before picked up.

Ford gathering data to improve how bikes and car interact

Tue, Jul 7 2015

More than a hundred years ago, the Ford Motor Company changed the landscape of US cities with its cars, and the company is once again trying to disrupt the way Americans move around their metropolises by ditching four wheels for two. Ford is hoping data will make the difference in its quest to create a city friendly to both cars and bikes with what it calls a "mobility experiment" known as Info Cycle. Engineers are riding bikes with data sensors on the front fork around the tech town of Palo Alto, CA, according to CityLab. This data is analyzed and made public on Ford's open-source site called OpenXC. The sensors record everything from speed to temperature to ambient light. Ford hopes the data give city governments and biking activists the tools they need to make roads safer for all travelers. Along with data gathered from cars, Ford hopes to foster a better urban ecosystem for both bikers and drivers. Ford has tried to crack into the bike market before, but concepts like the Think and e-bike were never fully realized or came to market too early to capitalize on the current transportation revolution. Now that car ownership and miles driven are down and alternative modes of transportation are catching on in the United States, Ford wants to be on the cutting edge of the mobile revolution. Earlier this year, Ford introduced the MoDe:Flex, an electric bike concept, along with the previously announced MoDe:Me and MoDe:Pro.

Feds looking into Ford Explorer exhaust leak complaints

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

There may be a burgeoning problem with exhaust leaks in the 2011-2014 model year Ford Explorer. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is examining multiple complaints of a gasoline smell in the cabin of these SUVs. However, the exact cause of this problem is still unknown.
"The agency is reviewing all available data and will take appropriate action as warranted," said a NHTSA spokesperson in an email to Automotive News. Owners seem to generally complain on the regulator's website of the smell entering the cabin through the air vents. At this time, the government organization has not yet opened an official investigation into the problem, though. When it does begin inspecting vehicles, NHTSA posts a detailed breakdown of its public data online.
Similar problems have been reported about the Explorer in the past, though. In 2013, Ford issued a recall for the 2013 model year of the SUV due to a fuel leak that could cause drivers to smell a gasoline odor and repaired them again later for another possible leak. In response to Autoblog's questions, Ford responded via email: "We are not aware of a NHTSA investigation. We are currently reviewing the case and in the event that any action is required, we will address it promptly."

Even Ford executives had issues with MyFord Touch

Fri, Oct 7 2016

MyFord Touch is one of the auto industry's more controversial features. The media broadly panned the infotainment system developed with Microsoft for its slow responses and reliance on voice commands to navigate its deep menus. Oh, and Ford executives weren't big fans, either. Newly revealed court documents in a California class-action lawsuit demonstrate the level of venom Ford employees, both big and small, reserved for the Blue Oval's infotainment system. An error caused Bill Ford's navigation system to crash, leaving the family scion stuck on the side of the road in an unfamiliar area. The documents, unearthed by Forbes, detail current CEO Mark Fields' aggravations with MFT, too. A mechanic emailed an image of a cracked infotainment screen on an Edge to one of Ford's top Sync engineers, Kenneth Williams, suggesting "Mark Fields may have been a little aggravated with the system." But Ford and Fields' issues are nothing compared to the woes of the engineers that had to work on MFT. In a collection of emails obtained by Forbes, one engineer called the system "a polished turd," while another simply said, "These poor customers." And after one engineer suggested using a photo of Ford's Oakville Assembly Plant – home of the Edge, Flex, Lincoln MKX, and MKT production Â– as a background for the system, one of his coworkers said in an email that someone should instead Photoshop the image to read "abandon hope all ye who enter here," the Detroit News reports. Another summed up the problem, saying: "Ford's quality reputation is completely on the line ... another model year with the same crap is not acceptable." MyFord Touch almost single-handedly torpedoed Ford's reputation in widely reported quality metrics, including JD Power and Consumer Reports. Ford responded with a refreshed Sync3, a wildly improved rethink of its infotainment system that is far more responsive and easier to live with every day.
