This 1996 Ford F 250 2 wheel drive pickup is in exceptional condition for its year. With the current millage it has averaged a little over 10,000 miles per year.

The 7.3 liter Powerstroke turbo charged diesel engine has been maintained to the highest level. When ever there was an issue with the truck it was fixed immediately by a reputable local repair facility. The truck is ready to go anywhere. The glow plow harness was replaced several years ago. within the past 3 years a new cam timing sensor was installed, new brakes, new plug for block heater (you don't really need it because the truck starts in the coldest weather).New rear differential cover just put in because the old one wasn't leaking but was showing signs that it might. Rear end oil was changed at that time.

Duel fuel tanks, the front tank fuel guage does not work. Each tank has a key locking fuel fill cap. No oil leaks or drips anywhere. Engine burns clean with no smoke.

I had a 2" receiver hitch installed with an electric brake adjustment modual in the cab. The truck has towed a trailer maybe 5 times. There are two surface rust spots. One is on the hood and the other is to the right of the rear window. Both have rust inhibitor on them but should be painted at some point. About the size of a quarter, see pictures.

It has a fantastic Eagle hydraulic tailgate lift that can lift 500LBS. Very handy piece of equipment. The electric motor that drives the hydraulic pump has been rebuilt and works perfectly.

There is a small ding on the drivers side door and above the fuel tank fill they are small and hard to see in the pictures.

Plastic bed liner. Tires are excellent.

Transmission has an over drive button that is used when towing.

Rocker panels and doors are solid as a rock. No rust on this truck besides what I mentioned above. The truck has been kept indoors and not driven in the winter.I'm selling it because I don't need it any more and it has only been used about 4000 miles a year in the past 9 years.

The engine is extremely powerful and with a lot of torque.

Vynal bench seat, hand crank windows, no AC. This is a reliable no frills truck. That's probably why its so reliable and inexpensive to maintain.

Call me with any questions. 860-662-0272

Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015

Tue, Feb 11 2014

Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.

Jerry Seinfeld doesn't love Sarah Jessica Parker's new Country Squire in latest CiCGC

Fri, 20 Jun 2014

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee has finally returned for its fourth season of combining Jerry Seinfeld, a miscellaneous celebrity and a cup of java. But rather than fondly remembering some older piece of automotive machinery, this time around, Seinfeld is utterly unable to keep his hatred of Sarah Jessica Parker's 1976 Ford LTD Country Squire from coming out to hilarious effect.
However, Parker has such a high level of infectious enthusiasm for her recently purchased Country Squire that she seems to win over Seinfeld by the end - at least a little bit. For most of their time together, the two of them drive around Manhattan and the suburbs waxing nostalgic about what things were like when these wagons were ubiquitous.
Since this is actually SJP's car, she and Seinfeld trade off driving duties, and the image above should give you some indication of Seinfeld's reaction to the Sex and the City star behind the wheel. It seems this '70s land yacht might be a little too much for her to handle in New York traffic. Regardless, she is absolutely in love with her Ford.
