I bought this truck from a older gentleman who said he put well over 10,000 dollars in the truck since he purchased it in 1997 . It has always been garaged kept since he purchased it and rarely driven. Truck has a rebuilt big block 360 with a recent rebuilt automatic transmission that both run and shift great. Newer brakes , shocks, hoses etc.. Brand new complete ac system that works great and blows nice and cold . Power steering, automatic transmission , later model wheels, linex bed liner, roll in lock bed cover , am /fm radio and more . The paint on the truck looks great and is very straight. It looks black in the pictures but it is really dark green with metallic type flake . The paint is a few years old now ,so it does show some small blemishes here and there from age. Great solid body with very little rust. The only real rust is under the battery tray and underside of hood on driver side (very common for these trucks) . Perfect glass with rear slider installed ! Newer upholstered seat , good aftermarket carpet with original style floor mat. The dash pad was never reinstalled after painting. The truck does have a exhaust leak which I think is coming from the manifold on the driver side? All the lights work perfectly including brake lights. The gauges do have a mind of their own, they work most of the time then sometimes they do not ( I think it just a loose ground wire or something going to the gauges) . All the chrome is present except for one small piece which is present in the pictures . Overall the truck is a great driver and in excellent shape for the age. A perfect driver at what will be sold for a great price!!! Yes it is reliable I just drove it over a 100 miles. Low reserve so do not miss out on this awesome looking truck !

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects
Thu, 16 May 2013Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.
Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
