Up for grabs here is a wonderful truck that's been one of the most reliable and useful (not to mention rugged and powerful) vehicles I've ever owned - a 1995 Ford F350 XLT 4x4 Crew Cab truck with the legendary 7.5L (460 cu. in.) gas V8 engine. With only 88K original miles this truck runs like a top and is barely broken in. I would trust it to go anywhere, and with regular maintenance and care it will last nearly forever. It's a classic, tried-and-true, hard-working truck at a mere fraction of the cost of a brand new monster F350 (and for my money I'd rather own this truck any day!)

This truck is immaculate and in flat-out amazing condition for a vehicle approaching 20 years old … if you're looking for a classic, old-school Ford truck this may be the one for you. You'll have to search long and far to find one as nice! I apologize in advance for the wordiness, but there's a lot to say about this one so grab a cup of coffee and read on!

HISTORY
I've owned this truck for about 5-6 years now, and bought it with 63K on the odometer if I recall correctly. It's been my personal vehicle (never used commercially) and I've used it mostly for occasionally towing camp trailers and hauling vintage motorcycles and, in all honesty, it's overkill for what I've used it for–it tows the small trailers I've had like they're not even there. However, it was just too nice of a truck to pass up and I've been nothing but happy with it. It was traded in at a leasing company in Dallas and if I recall correctly from the carfax it had always been a Texas truck. (I have since spent a couple years in Virginia with it, but it's now happily back in the Lone Star state.) It remains 100% rust free as one would expect from a Texas truck. My only reason for selling is that I just don't foresee having a use for a truck this size in the near future - I'm living in town, no longer pulling a trailer very often, and it doesn't seem right to just leave this great truck sitting idle and unused.

MECHANICAL
The truck is driven frequently and is ready to drive anywhere you'd like to take it - I wouldn't hesitate to take it cross-country tomorrow. It's been a completely reliable vehicle for me. It made a trip from Texas to Connecticut and back in April (towing an approx. 4000 lb camp trailer on the return trip) with no problems or issues. It starts right up in any weather without hesitation and without any smoking or difficulty. It has recently passed the very stringent Austin metro emissions tests with flying colors. The engine is smooth, powerful, and idles well. It accelerates without any hesitation or missing. The transmission and four wheel drive operate exactly as they should. The cruise control works as it should, too, and all power locks are working as they should … never had any problems! The engine compartment is clean and shows original components throughout. Please note that I haven't detailed the engine or done anything to the truck beyond a wash and a vacuum … this is just how it looks! And as nice as the photos are, I think it looks even better in person. A true detail job would make it look absolutely fantastic I'm sure.

A couple of things worth mentioning: first, the rear power windows have begun to slip a bit when powering up. The motors are working fine, but I expect the plastic gears have worn and will need to be replaced. Second, this truck has always had a slight ticking (and I do mean *very* slight) when it first starts up which goes away after about 15 seconds or so as the engine warms up. There are no other problems accompanying this (oil pressure is fine, and there's no smoke or poor running) and it has done this for as long as I've owned the truck. It hasn't gotten better or worse and I don't consider it a huge problem, but I did want to be sure to mention it.

INTERIOR
The interior of the truck is definitely one of its strong points. It is clean, comfortable, and in excellent condition without any odors, dirt, or other unpleasantness. My wife even likes driving it, and she's absolutely fastidious about keeping her cars clean! Carpets and upholstery are an attractive, neutral gray and are very, very clean throughout. No signs of any dogs or other pets. There's some slight wear to the driver's side seat (as shown in the photos) but no tears or rips anywhere. There's also a very slight crack on the dash pad (maybe 1/3" or so) which is also pictured. This could be replaced inexpensively if desired, but it's never really bothered me. Ashtrays are unused, and there's no sign that it has ever been smoked in. There's some light degradation to the steering wheel along the top due to exposure from the sun (Texas sun is harsh!) that's visible in the photos. It could be repaired at an upholstery shop if desired, but it's quite minor, and has never bothered me enough to warrant a repair … it's just slightly rougher in texture than the other areas of the steering wheel.

BODY/PAINT
The exterior of the truck is exceptionally clean and its original white paint still gleams beautifully–it looks absolutely great. The Ranch Hand exterior accessories (heavy duty front bumper/grill protector, rear bumper, and headache rack) are a great feature, too ... a true Texas ranch accessory that would set you back more than $4,000.00. There are no dents or problems to mention, only the various few light scratches here and there from age and use, but FAR less than one would expect. For its age, the paint is in amazingly good condition as the photos attest (and it's worth noting that I didn't even wax this truck for these photos - just a quick hand wash!) The worst area of wear is on the lower front driver's side, where shoes and boots have rubbed the paint a bit from getting in and out of the truck over the years. Please see the photos. Again, nothing substantial, but it does bear mentioning.

If you're reading this, chances are you know all about this classic era of F-Series trucks (and the old square body style that ended for the F350s in 1997, just two years after this '95 model) and understand how hard it is to find a truck of this vintage that hasn't been worked to death and run into the ground. They just don't come around that often. It's not perfect by any means and I've tried to fairly describe its flaws as I see them, but it's also as nice a truck of this age as I've EVER seen and I'll miss it dearly. I believe its new owner will be very, very happy with it … I've been on ebay for close to fifteen years and have sold many cars and vintage motorcycles and have never had an unhappy buyer yet! Please review the photos closely, ask any and all questions and I'll do my best to answer promptly and honestly. Serious inquiries can reach me by phone at 512-484-3186 between 9am-5pm CST. Vehicle has a clear Texas title in my name, ready to be transferred to its new owner.

2015 Ford F-150 brings big aluminum to the Rust Belt [w/video]

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

Just when you thought you'd figured the fullsize truck market out, Ford goes and throws us a massive curve ball with the 2015 F-150. The big headline news aren't tow or payload ratings, though we're sure those figures will be fully competitive if not class leading, they haven't yet been announced. Instead, the big headline news Ford is highlighting are the truck's new aluminum-intensive structure and 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
And with good reason - all that aluminum means that Ford was able to cut a massive 700 pounds from the truck's curb weight. That is going to cause all sorts of great things to happen to the 2015 F-150's driving dynamics, performance and fuel efficiency, not to mention its ability to haul heavy loads. For those customers worried about the strength of aluminum versus the more conventional steel, Ford is quick to point out that many military vehicles, such as the HMMWV and Bradley Fighting Vehicle, use a very similar sort of aluminum alloy in their construction.
It's also worth mentioning that the backbone, a fully boxed ladder frame, is hewn from high-strength steel. Ford says "2015 Ford F-150 is the strongest and most durable F-150 ever," for what it's worth, claiming that "torture tested" in labs and in the real world for more than 10 million miles. What's more, the truck, in disguised form, completed all 883 miles of the Baja 1000.

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
