Hate to see this baby go. After 7 faithful years and 300,000 miles of mostly carpooling kids to schools and camps its time has come. Engine went the way of the dinosaur and it's time to get a new horse and carriage for the kids.

Bought in 2006 as a same-year barely-used model with only 16000 miles the van lived a happy life watching kids grow up, hear their laughter, witness their rascalities, listen to their homework studies and inside-gossip. Before it landed on my driveway the van was used as a crew vehicle for the Sopranos. Some bragging creds right there. (A "Soprano's Crew" tag is still attached to the sun visor.) 

During its tumulous life span the van saw heat and cold, sub freezing temperatures and iron melting heat; new asphalted highways and others less so. Little scratches and standard wear are visible all over as a charming sign of age. Back door is adorned with stickers added by jovial adolescents expressing individuality and uniqueness.

The 2 front tires are merely brand new. I just bought them at the end of summer. I would suggest you put them on on the rear for good traction. The spare tire is fully inflated and in top shape having barely been used.

1 of the 13 passenger cabin seat belts doesn't work properly. Driver's armrest came off when a suitcase was pushed against it. First bench cloth has a rip (fixable with a needle and thread, ask Mom to do it for you).

AC is in top shape. The only complain I ever heard, even on the hottest days, was "Can you lower the AC?" which was music to my ears. Heat on the other hand works only in the front. Now, on most days, even very cold ones, the front heat covers the whole cabin all the way to the back. But I will show you an easy fix for that. It's just a screwdriver and a couple twists away.

All 4 rows in the passenger cabin area come out to provide multiple configurations of cargo hauling space.

Hope I didn't let anything out. Feel free to ask any question even as mundane as when I filled up gas last or as daunting as the age of the kids I chauffeured.

Goes without saying that the van is not in a position to revolve its wheels on its own. It needs a tug. Preferably on top of a muscular flatbed but 2 barn yarn cords connected to a pickup truck will get it out of my driveway just as well.

As for payment, I'll give you a chance. I will accept your check and wait the mandatory couple of days till my bank contacts your bank and has a Brinks truck deliver the money straight to my bank account. In other words no need for paypal (unless you insist, that is).

2017-19 Ford Super Duty trucks recalled for tailgates that could open

Fri, Dec 6 2019

Ford announced two separate recalls today, though neither has resulted in any known injuries. The first recall, which deals with a tailgate malfunction, affects 261,617 examples of 2017-2019 F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty pickups. The second, which anticipates the possibility of a fuel leak, affects 3,893 units of 2020 Explorer and 2020 Lincoln Aviator SUVs with 3.0-liter engines. Ford says tailgates might accidentally open on some 2017-2019 Super Duty trucks because of a short circuit. If the pickups have an electric tailgate latch-release switch on the tailgate handle, water might get into the wiring. If the water hits the right spots, a short circuit could cause the switch to release the tailgate latch. In a worst-case scenario where the tailgate opens while driving, contents of the truck's bed could fall out and create a safety hazard. Dealerships will fix the problem by modifying the tailgate frame wiring harnesses with jumper pigtails and install a new tailgate handle release switch. Of the lot, 231,664 trucks are in the U.S., and 29,953 are in Canada. The Ford recall number is 19S48.  The second recall is much smaller, involving fewer than 4,000 vehicles. In certain 2020 Explorers and Aviators with 3.0-liter engines, Ford says, "The convolute protective sleeve on the liquid fuel line is not long enough, which may allow for potential hard contact with the convolute-protected vapor fuel line. Over time, with vibration and engine roll, hard contact between the two fuel lines could cause the convolute on the vapor fuel line to rub through the plastic liquid fuel line." If that happens, it could be a fire risk and hazardous for drivers and passengers. Only 35 of those SUVs are in Canada, and the rest are in the United States. Dealers will fix the problem by replacing the defective convolute with a full-length piece and tying it down with a strap. The recall reference number for the Aviators and Explorers is 19S49. The recall adds to what has otherwise been a rocky early production phase for the new Explorers and Aviators.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible shown on Twitter [UPDATE w/video]

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

It hasn't yet been 12 hours since the hotly anticipated 2015 Ford Mustang has been let out into public view. After a series of evocative leaks over the course of the last days, we brought you a full deep dive of the sixth-generation pony car at the dawning of today. And yet, here we are rushing to bring you news of a new Mustang variant, already.
Be it part of a plan to keep the Mustang fervor at full boil, or a misunderstood email somewhere in the chain of command, Ford UK has unceremoniously tweeted a picture of the 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible. For a newly global Mustang, getting our first look at the droptop from the convertible-crazy British does make some amount of sense.
As for details, well, you're looking at them. Brandon Turkus reported yesterday that the Mustang 'vert would make use of a fully electric convertible mechanism, and that it would be of fabric construction rather than some kind of retractable hardtop. We see here that the fabric part is clearly true, and it does look as though Ford may still be employing the same kind of manually attached tonneau cover that exists right now. Of course, our view from this angle isn't great, and the particulars are still up in the air.
