2003 Ford Explorer Awd 4wd Eddie Bauer Green And Tan on 2040-cars

Golden, Colorado, United States

 Excellent condition 2003 Ford Explorer with the somewhat rare Eddie Bauer two-tone leather interior and 4.6L V8 engine. We have owned this car since 2004 and it has been an extremely reliable vehicle. Amazingly, it can get up to 22 MPG on the highway. Regularly maintained, and it really is in excellent condition for a 2003. That being said, there are minor cosmetic things that I will list below, but know that this is an excellent vehicle that I have little doubt will reliably run for another 100,000 miles if not significantly further. Here are some details:
- Eddie Bauer package, with two tone leather seats
- 4 door with rear full door that can also open via the rear window
- Michelin Latitude X-ice snow tire (probably 50% life remaining)
- Power Sun Roof
- New JVC Stereo with CD and AUX inlet
- Luggage Rack
- All Wheel Drive / 4 Wheel Drive, is great in the Colorado Front range winter conditions
- Towing Package with controller
- Air Conditioner
- Heated drivers and passenger seat

Minor cosmetic issues:
- crack in windshield in top left, not visible when driving
- a couple of minor scratches on hood (probably could be waxed or buffed out)
- on plastic bumper under rear left tail light, there is a dent/scrape (probably someone bumped it in the parking lot)
- there are a couple of tiny chips in the paint on the right passengers door
- Driver's seat, low on the right side almost to where the horizontal seat meets the vertical "backrest" the vinyl (leather on top, vinyl/plastic material on the side) is worn and has a few cracks in it.
- Right rear door trim fell off (still have it... about 2 feet, goes above the door handle).
- There might be a couple of other minor blemishes, but in general, the paint is in great shape, and is two-tone green and tan.

I purchased this in 2004 when it was almost new, and it has been a great, dependable car for my daughter who used it for the last 10 years as a student at CSU (undergrad and vet school). She and her husband are moving to Japan this week, and can't take it with them, so I am selling it for her. Please respond to me via e-mail, or feel free to call me if you have any questions. I am not interested in talking to any dealers, period

Ford to pay $17.35 million over Escape recall

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

Ford had a bit of a recall spree around this time last year, with a pair of issues on the then-new 2013 Escape, followed by a recall of 423,000 2001 to 2004 Escapes because they might accelerate of their own accord. Accordingly, Uncle Sam pasted Ford with a $17.35 million fine because it took too long to inform customers, according to a report from Automotive News.
Ford agreed to settle with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accepting the fine but not admitting fault. The recall, which afflicted Escapes with the 3.0-liter V-6 along with 217,000 Mazda Tributes from 2001 to 2006 and 2008, was due to faulty gas pedals that could stay down after a driver removed their foot.
Ford issued a statement regarding the fine, saying, "We take the safety of our customers seriously and continuously evaluate our processes for improvements. While we are confident in our current processes for quickly identifying and addressing potential vehicle issues, Ford agreed to this settlement to avoid a lengthy dispute with the government."

Ford readying Ranger-based Everest SUV?

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Way back in August, we showed you a Ford concept for the Australian market called the Everest. Now, we can show you that work on the new Ranger-based SUV is well under way.
At this stage, it's still quite clearly a mule (note the misalignment of the front and rear doors), wearing the Ranger's front end and the rump of Ford's overseas Territory crossover. The wheelbase is shorter than a Ranger, according to our spy photographers, which strikes us as somewhat odd for a more passenger-oriented vehicle. Disc brakes should be fitted at all four corners, while the new SUV, which will almost certainly wear the Everest name, should sport a new rear suspension.
In terms of looks, we're expecting the Everest Concept to inform the appearance of the production model. Naturally, there will also be some interior tweaks, particularly around the dashboard, which is covered in these photos.

Toyota hangs on to title of world's largest automaker for first half of 2013

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

General Motors and Ford can have all the success they please, but it doesn't seem like America's two largest manufacturers are going to topple Toyota in the first half of 2013. According to Reuters, Toyota moved 4.91 million vehicles in the first six months of 2013, representing a 1.1-percent drop from the same period in 2012.
GM is on the rise, though, with a four-percent increase in global sales, to 4.85 million. Volkswagen, still sitting in third, saw a 5.5-percent jump to 4.7 million vehicles in the first half of 2013.
If this pace continues for Toyota, it'll finish 2013 in the top sales spot for the second year in a row. The manufacturer fell to third, behind GM and VW, in 2011 after earthquakes and tsunamis ravaged its production capacity.
