I am the second owner of this truck and I am going on 5 years of ownership of it. The truck has been great with no complaints, has handled every type of weather, work, or family situation I have thrown at it. But I have purchased a bigger trailer recently and I am needing to buy a 1ton. So this half ton has to go.

2005 F-150 4x4 Super Crew Cab 4 door with 123,000 miles

Private Party Blue Book value $13,100

Silver, 5.4L V8, Automatic Trans, 3.73 Limited Slip rear Differential, Power Windows, Power Locks, CD player, Gray Cloth Interior, Seats 6 with a flip up center console in front. 8 cup holders!, Full tow package with Coolers for just about everything, Line-X spray in bed liner, Flow master Dual Exhaust with turn downs (not to loud but you now can actually tell it has a V8), Tinted Windows (fronts were tinted to match the factory rears).

If you are in the market for an F150 with a 5.4L you will know that there are only two dreaded issues with this engine design that will hurt your pocket book. One is when changing spark plugs, they tend to break off in this engine making a simple task extremely expensive, sometimes over $500 for the job. The other is the passenger side exhaust manifold tends to warp and crack, this job can cost over $1000 dollars depending on how many studs break off in the head. But you are in luck because I just performed both of these less than 1000 miles ago, so you don't have to worry about them for another 100,000 miles or so. I have a bachelors in Automotive Technology and love my vehicles. this one I have treated right since I have owned it (65,000 miles) and it has treated me and my family very well in return.Item is for sale locally and I can end the auction at anytime. If you have any questions Please call or text me at 6.1.8-3.8.4-7.6.8.0 Thanks

EarthCruiser adds a bigger camper option to its heavy duty pickup line

Tue, Sep 29 2020

EarthCruiser is a camper and expedition vehicle company based out of Oregon that we've previously covered for its huge commercial truck-based machines. But they offer more than that, from drop-in campers for smaller pickups to heavy duty pickup conversions. The company's latest product is one of the latter, offering a larger camping area than the current EXD model. This new camper conversion is called the Terranova. The big differentiator between it and the EXD is the camper section, which extends over the truck cab on the Terranova. This means that bed space can be moved to above the truck cab, instead of having to use a convertible dinette. So less reconfiguring, and generally more usable space. One other major difference is that the EXD is only available for the Ram 3500 and Ford F-350. The Terranova is being designed for both of those trucks as well as the Chevy Silverado 3500. The EarthCruiser Terranova is otherwise very similar to other EarthCruiser models. The camper section is made of fiberglass and plastic, and the pop-up roof is insulated with foam. The curtains are triple-layered. The company says it can house four people. It comes with a freshwater tank and pump to help supply the kitchen sink, drinking water tap, bathroom sink and indoor and outdoor showers. There's also a cassette toilet. The kitchen features an induction stove top and small refrigerator and freezer. A fan system is standard, and air conditioning is optional. Power comes from a 400-aH lithium-ion battery. The Terranova isn't yet available. EarthCruiser is finishing up design and engineering, and it plans to have finished examples early next year. The company is taking reservations now, though. Pricing hasn't been announced, but an EXD runs between $220,000 and $265,000, and we would expect the Terranova to cost even more.

Hot sales have Detroit automakers shortening summer shutdowns

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Back in May, there was speculation that the Detroit Three automakers would maintain or perhaps even extend their traditional summer shutdowns, mostly due to a bitingly cold winter that saw below-freezing temperatures infiltrate the southernmost reaches of the US, putting a chill on auto sales. Now, though, the numbers are in, and thanks to some promising sales figures, it looks like some domestic line workers are going to be working clear through July, in some cases.
According to Automotive News, Ford has slashed its traditional two-week hiatus for factory workers in half at four of its plants, while both Chrysler and General Motors will keep factories running nonstop (two plants in Chrysler's case and a third of GM's factories).
This is, as we said, thanks to some positive numbers. Chief among those is the Seasonal Adjusted Annual Rate, which was at an eight-year high of 17 million units. Individual figures were less promising. GM, embroiled in its recall scandal, still saw a one-percent increase while Ford dropped six percent in year-over-year sales. Chrysler was the big winner, though, with a nine-percent jump in June.

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
