Ultimate Towing And Family Trip Excursion - Many Add-ons on 2040-cars
Hopkins, Minnesota, United States
|
2005 Excursion Eddie Bauer 6.0 Diesel White with low mileage and $12,000 in upgrades.
This Excursion was ordered by the owner of a dealership in North Dakota as one of the last Ford Excursions off the line before they stopped making them (they dont make them any newer than this vehicle). He used it sparingly for several years and I purchased it from him in 2010 and have taken it on several trips towing our camper. Other than those trips I have not really towed much with it. It didnt even go into service until 2007 and was under warranty when I purchased it. I am the first owner from the dealership. Since 2010 then I have taken extremely good care of the vehicle and upgraded the parts of the vehicle that were lacking. This is truly how the vehicle should have come from the factory as Stock. It has been setup to be the ultimate Excursion Tow Vehicle and family trip vehicle. This is a one of a kind vehicle that is perfect for the family that wants to tow a camper or boat in a rock solid towing platform plus all the comforts of a luxury vehicle. 2005 Excursion Diesels in great condition and under 100k miles (which is really just getting the engine broken in) are going for around 25-30k. Consider that in addition to belonging to this group I have also added the following upgrades which have cost over 12k and at the same time I have left the engine stock never having modified it in any way - so no worries that it was abused. They do not make these vehicles anymore and there is really nothing like it - I assume if you are viewing this you already know this fact. Some key facts: 2005 Ford Excursion Eddie Bauer Towing Package 4x4 Heated Mirrors Entertainment Package Oxford White with Medium Parchment Leather Interior Upgrades: Set of 5 (full size spare) 285/75 R16 Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor Pro Grade (these are stiff sidewalls and the absolute best for towing) V/B suspension upgrade which gives it about a 2 inch lift. Rear leaf springs use a F350 leaf on the bottom of the stack which gives the back about a half inch more but is perfect for towing heavy loads. High output alternator Rancho RS 9000xl adjustable shocks Helwig Sway Bar Bullet Proof Diesel upgrade FICM RedHead Steering gear (to remove the play in the Ford Truck Steering). New soundsystem with Kenwood double din stereo and navigation. new speakers and sub. $1000 of soundproofing and a backup camera. This was over 5k and was installed less than a year ago Engine compartment Hood Pad Upgraded door Seal Mod (door seals are rock solid) Prodigy Brake Controller |

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet
Wed, Oct 7 2015Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
