2000 Ford Excursion Limited.  This is the Limited model and it has the 7.3 Liter Power Stroke, 4x4 with 99,105 miles.  PS, PL, PW, Dual Power Heated Seats, Electronic Overhead console.  It has a remote start feature with glow plug delay so you can start it from inside your house.  The tires are Firestone with 80% tread.  It does not leak any fluids and the oil pan is in good shape.  There are no Warning lights on the dash, it does not have any mechanical issues that need sorting out except for a slow passenger side door lock. 

A little bit about me.  I am a Dealer here in town and am offering this Excursion for sale.  I have 100% positive feedback here on Ebay and plan to keep it that way so rest assured you will know exactly what you are buying from me before you get here.  I have personally owned a 7.3 Excursion in the past If you are in the market for one of these trucks I am well aware that you know all about them and know exactly what you want.  I am representing this truck EXACTLY as it is as I know most buyers will be extremely picky.  This Excursion is COMPLETELY 100% STOCK and as it came to me from the owner.  I understand the bar is set very high for these trucks so I have photographed it in bright sunshine as to illustrate the exact condition and how it looks in person.  I have not buttered this truck up to sell in anyway.  Many Dealers put these on the lift and spray paint the entire suspension black to hide rust and take pictures at sunset in order to illustrate the truck as being showroom new.  I do not do that.   This Excursion is in nice shape, the body of the truck is rust free, the paint is nice, the carpets are nice, the leather looks good for its age and does not have any rips. Underneath does have some surface rust as you can see in the pictures but nothing is rotting away. It has been well kept and drives exceptionally well.  It will last you for several hundred thousand more miles.  The only major notable flaws are a crack in the drivers side mirror housing, a cheap part that I plan to replace , 2 of the L brackets that hold the left running board on are broken so the step board is loose and the weld on the factory muffler has seperated as you can see in the picture.  These are all inexpensive fixes but want the buyer to see what needs attention.  You must make arrangements to pick the truck up in person.  I will not get involved in any shipping as I want the buyer to see exactly what they are buying before making payment.  The best way to reach me is by email.  If you would like to discuss the Excursion by phone I can call you just please send your phone number in an Email and I will call you.  Please understand that Ebay is a legally binding contract so please bid what you feel comfortable spending on the vehicle.  This is not a bidding game to negotiate a lower price upon arrival so please make sure you have all questions answered before you bid. You are welcome to make an offer but I dont want to play the price game.  I have pictures I can email you if you are unable to see what ebay provides.  We are located about 20 miles west of New York City in Montclair.  Thanks and good luck.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.

One Step at a Time
Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another.
Chuck Schwynoch had been patiently listening to my ramblings on the other end of the phone for a solid half hour. I'm not too big of a man to know when to ask for help, and at this point, I desperately needed some assistance. The truth is, working on a machine like a Fox Body Mustang is as easy as breathing thanks to the wealth of information available on the web. Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another, and odds are the sorry souls behind those builds shared the highs and lows of their torment with the internet community.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets

Tue, Jul 17 2018

Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
