2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, 1 Owner, Low Miles, No Reserve!!! on 2040-cars
Davenport, Florida, United States
I purchased this vehicle new in 2005, and I really do not want to part with my baby. However, we have a real baby on the way, and we are trying to buy our first home. Also, I am buying my dads old truck which is sentimental to me since he passed away a few years ago.
This Sport Trac is in like new condition with a few minor scratches. The paint on the hood and roof has had minor paint cracks for years. They are barely noticeable and have not gotten worse, so I did not get it repainted. I tried to show this in the last photo. I added aftermarket smoke headlights, aftermarket alarm system, black tail light covers, Ford Factory dealer installed cruise control, Rain Guards, Soft Tonneau Cover, Hidden Hitch, K&N air filter with open filter box, and aftermarket Auxiliary Input (MP3) to the factory radio. I have the factory headlamps to go with the truck. I installed factory fog lamps, but I never connected the wiring (for exterior looks only). It has fairly new tires, brakes, alternator, and battery. The windshield and front bumper cover were damaged by an idiot throwing rocks in downtown Orlando several years ago and replaced. The odometer was blinking in and out, so I had it replaced by Jarrett Gordon Ford a couple months ago. Safelite is coming Thursday to repair a recent rock chip in the windshield. I have records of every oil change, every repair, and a detailed mileage log for almost everywhere this truck has been. It has never been driven on the beach or in snow, and I wash and wax it regularly. There are no mechanical issues with this truck, and it has never had any accidents. I meticulously maintain my vehicles at the dealerships, and I drive them well over 200,000 miles. I just traded my 98 Oldsmobile with 276,000 miles on it, and got top dollar due to the excellent condition. I have a Clear Original Title in Hand. I will accept Cash, Money Order, PayPal, and we will write up a Florida bill of sale. You will need your own license plate to drive it home, or drive it without one to the Tax Collector and get one. I will consider offers. This vehicle is for sale locally. I have the right to remove this listing at any time. Send me a message if you want to make an offer, come look at it, or drive it. |

Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average
Tue, 11 Jun 2013We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).
Social media star Scott Monty leaves Ford
Thu, 22 May 2014It seems weird to think that an automaker could have a social media star, but Ford does. Or at least it did. Scott Monty, its Global Digital Communications Manager, led the company's team for almost six years and forged a reputation as being one of the most talented people in corporate social media. But the guru recently announced that he would be leaving the automaker for an undisclosed job elsewhere.
"I just decided the time was right. I am going to take a little time with my family, and I am going to start on a new adventure pretty soon," said Monty in an interview with AdWeek. He also explained a little about his theory of how companies should use social media. In his opinion, it should be a chance to go beyond standard marketing and build a relationship with people. Businesses need to have a broad focus for its online message, and using just one service isn't enough to be successful.
Under his guidance, Ford expanded its Facebook presence significantly. According to AdWeek, it launched the 2010 Explorer on the popular site. Also, when the company wanted to investigate selling electric models, it initially gauged the public's reaction on Facebook and then advertised them there first. Monty has been a major supporter of Twitter as well to broaden the company's communication with the public.
Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.
