This auction is for a 1993 Ford F250 heavy duty pick up truck that we have owned for about 4 years after purchasing it from the original owner.  They were selling it due to the fact that they were elderly and after damaging the front fender on a guard rail, decided it was too big for them to handle and we were the lucky ones to buy it. Infact, the next owner will receive the picture of the original owner that we keep on the sunvisor.  We keep it there to keep him in our thoughts since he sold us such a great truck which we are thankful for.   Over the years, the truck has been ultra reliable for us and has done everything we asked it to do which was mainly to haul our 30ft and 36ft travel trailers and to make trips out of state to pick up cars.  We do not think twice or hesitate to drive it anywhere.  Why are we selling it?  We have sold our house and are moving to Florida and are only taking two of our 5 cars and selling the other three.  We have already sold our campers and do not need the truck anymore.
The truck has only 131,XXX miles on it which is a low 6K per year and has another 100,000 left in it.  The engine is the 5.7 liter 460 and will pull just about everything.  It runs well for us but is due for a tune up.  One side of the exhaust has a leak, but the other side has a new gasket.  The A/C compressor was removed, but all of the lines are there if the new owner wanted to put a compressor back in.  It starts every time and runs all day.
The body is decent with the exception of the crinkled front fender and surrounding area that you can see in the pictures.  The bed is a full size 8ft unit and is equipped with a 5th wheel hitch which is removable when not needed.  The cab is an extended cab and can fit 3 adults or 4 children in the back seat, or it can be folded down to store your gear.  The front seats are bucket seats which is much more comfortable than the standard bench seat.  The upholstery is very good for the year of the truck.  The radio works intermittently and comes on sometimes and is always guaranteed to shut off during a good song or during a funny part of Car Talk on NPR.  The tires are ok but one rear on has some cracking in the sidewall.

Overall, this is just a good honest truck that has faithfully served us well over the years and one that we would never be selling if we weren't moving to Florida.  It is not perfect by any means, but it will serve the new owner well for years to come. 
We highly recommend any potential buyer to come over and look at it in person PRIOR TO BIDDING or send an auto inspection service to give a report.  Local bidders are encouraged to bring their mechanic to inspect it, again, prior to bidding.  We love this truck and think very highly of it and want the new owners to feel the same.
A $300 deposit is required immediately at the end of auction by paypal, and the balance is due within 7 days after the auction is done which is when we would like it picked up by then.  Title is free and clear.

Ford dealer loses Super Bowl bet, pays $300K to lucky customers [w/video]

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

A Missouri Ford dealership's Super Bowl weekend sale cost it big when the improbable happened. Hutcheson Ford ran a promotion from January 29 to February 1, called the Super Weekend Sale. The gist was, if any customer purchased a vehicle between those dates and either the opening or second-half kickoff of the big game was returned for a touchdown, the dealership would refund the purchase price.
In the dealership's defense, it seemed like a safe bet. According to the mathematicians, there was just a 2.5-percent chance of either half opening with a touchdown return. But that didn't stop Seattle's Percy Harvin from doing his part to ruin Denver's evening, returning the second-half kick for an 87-yard touchdown run. Twelve Hutcheson customers were eligible for refunds thanks to the return, with prices ranging from $10,000 to $55,000, according to Automotive News. The total amount shelled out by the dealership? $300,000.
"At least we're not like that furniture guy that lost $7 million," dealership marketing manager Kathleen Frazier told AN. We think it was a big success." The dealership did take out insurance to cover its losses, meaning the $300K won't come entirely from its pockets.

Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!

Even Ford executives had issues with MyFord Touch

Fri, Oct 7 2016

MyFord Touch is one of the auto industry's more controversial features. The media broadly panned the infotainment system developed with Microsoft for its slow responses and reliance on voice commands to navigate its deep menus. Oh, and Ford executives weren't big fans, either. Newly revealed court documents in a California class-action lawsuit demonstrate the level of venom Ford employees, both big and small, reserved for the Blue Oval's infotainment system. An error caused Bill Ford's navigation system to crash, leaving the family scion stuck on the side of the road in an unfamiliar area. The documents, unearthed by Forbes, detail current CEO Mark Fields' aggravations with MFT, too. A mechanic emailed an image of a cracked infotainment screen on an Edge to one of Ford's top Sync engineers, Kenneth Williams, suggesting "Mark Fields may have been a little aggravated with the system." But Ford and Fields' issues are nothing compared to the woes of the engineers that had to work on MFT. In a collection of emails obtained by Forbes, one engineer called the system "a polished turd," while another simply said, "These poor customers." And after one engineer suggested using a photo of Ford's Oakville Assembly Plant – home of the Edge, Flex, Lincoln MKX, and MKT production – as a background for the system, one of his coworkers said in an email that someone should instead Photoshop the image to read "abandon hope all ye who enter here," the Detroit News reports. Another summed up the problem, saying: "Ford's quality reputation is completely on the line ... another model year with the same crap is not acceptable." MyFord Touch almost single-handedly torpedoed Ford's reputation in widely reported quality metrics, including JD Power and Consumer Reports. Ford responded with a refreshed Sync3, a wildly improved rethink of its infotainment system that is far more responsive and easier to live with every day.
