I'm selling my 2005 Ford Excursion Eddie Bauer Edition 6.0 Liter Power Stroke Diesel 4x4. This SUV is in excellent condition and gets hand washed/waxed every other weekend. When i purchased this SUV from a fellow EBayer in 2011 I immediately upgraded the suspension with a BDS lift (3.5 inch) nothing crazy, and added BDS dual steering stabilizers. The ride and handling characteristics of this huge SUV improved 100%. It went from squirrely to tame immediately - while it was in the shop, I had the crew install a Banks Big Hoss IQ system (bankspower.com/products/show/41/35) which adds approximate up to 138HP and up to 231 lb-ft of torque. I always drive it on Econ mode as it gives plenty of power when i need it. I've never used the drag mode or the other settings (there are 6) because LA traffic doesn't let you do much! And i never felt the need for more when it was loaded for the few camping trips we were able to make - I would cruise the 101 freeway loaded up with gear at 85MPH - breeze. Car camping is a pleasure as we would use a queen size air mattress in the back and our 80lb Rottie still had room to stretch out at the foot of the bed! The roof rack holds 6 bright RIGID LED lights - Left, Right and Rear. I have a 20 inch Rigid LED bar that i was going to install, but never got around to it. The Garvin roof rack holds a Full size Shovel, Axe and a 48" High Lift Jack but these are not included in the sale but the mounts are. The lights are activated by a 6 bank switch plate - obviously only three are in use (see pics). I was going to have a custom floor mounted piece made for the switches, but again, i haven't been able to find a decent maker or stock type - I know they exist, just haven't found one - Jotto makes one but it needs to be rigged to fit without their 28" mounting plate. Heated Seats, Power seats for both driver and passenger - Tow Package, REar AC, Power rear vented back panel windows - Loaded. Rear camera, parking distance control......full steering wheel controls...etc. I added a Pioneer AVIC Z140 Stereo head unit w/ SAT (SiriusXM), Bluetooth, HD radio etc.I also added Pioneer speakers front and rear with a Rockford Fosgate Punch amp. I connect my IPhone5 directly or via BT and it works great - I use Pandora frequently - I connect it via the charger when i need to charge my iPhone or iPad. In the center console i installed a console combo safe from console vault - I lock up valuables with confidence. I can show u how to change the combo - takes about 2 seconds or set it to 000. 2k miles ago in October, i spent $4000 on new EGR cooler, new Oil cooler, a fuel pressure regulator seal, oil change, UC-9 flush and turbo inspection. Turbo is in excellent. All the work performed was at a large local dealership and is guaranteed. I have all of the receipts. The tires are in great shape maybe 75-80 % (Nitto Terra Graplers - 325-65-18) The wheels are in excellent shape as well. The Excursion rides and drives great - No Vibration or drifting - Stops straight under heavy braking and is not too rough - Actually rides well for such a beast. The transmission shifts perfectly and when i had the vehicle serviced - there were no issues. The windows are professionally tinted all around and the interior leather has held up well - no rips - just gentle use. The Excursion has 115557 miles on the clock which is rather low for a 9 year old Diesel or any Diesel for that matter - that's approximately 12000 miles a year. We're not desperate to sell at all- this isn't a fire sale nor are we dying for a few bucks - but my work now provides me with a company vehicle and that would make four vehicles to park and we just don't have space at the house - So the big girl has to go. Email me with any questions - i'll get back to you as soon as possible. I can take additional pictures if you need specific areas. But I have tried to show as much as possible, but can accommodate requests as best I can. This is a serious sale for a serious safe and clean vehicle. There is a small loan on the Excursion, however, for the sake of a quick and clean sale, I'm willing to pay off the note prior to any sale for ease of transfer IF AND ONLY IF A DEAL IS MADE and the funds are good and the transaction is 95% done. All funds must clear my bank before release is to take place - No shipping, no possession by anyone before funds clear through our bank and are unavailable for reverse wire return, etc. Cash is good as well. I have sold and purchased on EBAY for @ 15 years- All of my info is upfront and nothing exists in any gray areas, so i expect the same from the buyer. \ Hate to be a hard A**, but it only takes a few jerks to load up on caution. Thanks for looking - email me for further details. Good Luck

Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.

Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells

Sat, Jan 10 2015

Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.
