Hunting season is over and I am selling my Ford Excursion 4x4. This is the diesel with the good 7.3 liter motor and the automatic transmission. This truck has a fully Rhino lined exterior. It's tough as nails from front to back, top to bottom. You can drive it through a thicket and not scratch it. There is nothing wrong with the vehicle. It starts, runs, shifts and stops as it should. It gets around 20 mpg. It does not leak or use oil. The engine is dry as a bone as is the bottom of the vehicle. It has a four inch exhaust from the turbo back. There is no rust. It is power everything and everything works as it should. It has a sound system in it too complex for me to fully utilize. In other words a really good one. with GPS, etc. Has a cd player and a i pad music hookup. It has a top of the line alarm system and a auto start that will start the vehicle from 100 yards away or more if you wish. Great for when it's cold or hot outside. The leather seats are in good not perfect shape. The driver seat has a hole in the leather from getting in and out, pretty normal and easily repaired.. It has front and back ice cold a/c and tinted windows. There are three seats in it, the rear one can be easily removed and the back seat laid down. Plenty of room to haul about anything you please or to sleep in if you wish.. I have very heavy duty hard rubber floor mats and back mat to protect the floors. I put nerf bars on it to make it easier to get in and out. The vehicle has real good 8 ply Michelin tires on the aluminum rims and the spare is new. I would not be afraid to get in the Excursion and travel anywhere in the U.S.A. I put on plenty of photos. Buyer must pay in cash or cashiers check within 7 days. $1000. to be paid by paypal within 48 hours of auction close. Buyer is responsible for shipping or you can come get it. If you fly in to drive it home I will meet you at DFW airport. Clear title in hand. This is a good clean Excursion with the 7.3 diesel and no mechanical issues. Any questions, ask.

Ford patents a multi-touch version of its classic keypad

Fri, Sep 9 2016

For decades, Ford has offered a keypad on the doors of their cars that would allow owners access with the right code. Amazingly, the keypad has survived almost unchanged except for a recent touch button version. A new patent from the Blue Oval shows the keypad may get a big upgrade soon. The first big change is that it looks like the keypad may move to the key fob. Although it might be possible to have it on the car itself as well, the patent only seems to focus on the key fob. In addition, the fob will now be a multi-touch pad similar to that of modern smartphones. This will allow for more diverse code entries, according to the patent's description. Instead of just a simple number code, owners could enter a code that involves swipes and keystrokes, and even simultaneous keystrokes. For instance, you could enter a code that requires swiping from 1 to 3, followed by holding 2 and 4 to unlock the car. The patent also seems to indicate that this keypad would then display unlock functions and other functions on the fob after the correct code is entered, thus making it more than just a way to unlock the car. As for the practical implications of this keypad system update, it could provide an added layer of security. If someone steals your keys, they would have to also know your access code to get into the car. Whether this would also help make the key and car harder to hack would remain to be seen, though. Another possible benefit could be the prevention of accidental lock and alarm button presses, although that likely isn't a common issue. There could be potential downsides as well. If used as an extra layer of security, the legitimate owner would have to punch in their code on the fob to get in, which would render proximity key benefits relatively useless. Moving the keypad to the fob would also mean owners couldn't get into their cars without having the key with them. We don't have any clues as to when this could become a feature, but it doesn't seem like it would be difficult to implement, so it could show up in the next few years.

The Dearborn-based automaker offered this statement in response: "We are committed to leveraging our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to invest where it makes the best sense for our business. We are proud that we have invested $6.2 billion in our U.S. plants since 2011 and hired nearly 25,000 U.S. employees.
