Ford F-450 Platinum on 2040-cars
Renton, Washington, United States
Here we have a 2014 Ford F-450 Platinum Dually 4x4 Automatic. The truck has black exterior with black leather interior. The truck is nearly brand new with under 12,000 miles. The Truck has been modified with the best parts available and no expense was spared with the build. The build commenced at about 10,000 miles. All of the modified parts have a little over 1500 miles on them. This truck was built to show at SEMA. The Truck has had the best parts fitted. The Truck carries the Manufactures warranty and does have all the goodies that a stock platinum F-450 comes with. It has the back up camera. It has the platinum black interior with a sunroof and rear sliding window as well. The truck is also equipped with a remote starter. The truck is fully loaded with every option from the factory including the 5th wheel prep package and tow package. The truck is fully deleted with no DPF fluid required. All of the emissions equipment has been removed and has since been discarded. The trucks fuel mileage has increased significantly to 16mpg in the city and over 19.5mpg on the highway. It has been tuned and is on the middle tune setting which nets the best fuel mileage. All LED light bars are controlled with the 4 up fitter switches alone with the Train horn hooked up to the up fitter as well. The truck has been dealer maintained with all Dealer services up to date. The truck rides really well and is my daily driver. Only reason why I am selling is that I have a 2016 Denali HD project that I am starting. I will share the list of modifications that the trucks has below. The truck is located in White Rock, British Columbia ,Canada. I will deliver up to Blaine, Washington. The price is in $79,500 US FUNDS. I will assist in shipping at the buyers expense.

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).
NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
Ford, Samsung shack up to bring regen braking to non-hybrid models [w/video]
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Ford must be desperate to get itself ready for the beach this summer because it is really trying to get into shape. Shortly after unveiling the Lightweight Concept that cut the weight of a Fusion down to that of a Fiesta, it's now the rest of the line's turn for improvement. The company is wrapping up a 10-year research project aimed at developing next-gen automotive batteries to improve efficiency.
Ford claims that 70 percent of its lineup will have stop/start tech by 2017. The key to this massive proliferation is its new dual-battery system that combines a lithium-ion battery with a lead-acid one and regenerative braking. The setup works by harvesting braking energy and converting it to electricity. When the vehicle stops, the engine shuts off, but the Li-ion battery has enough juice to keep the accessories running. The engine starts up again as drivers take their foot off the brake. The layout would mean less wasted gas while idling. It's already available on Ford hybrids and is somewhat similar to the i-Eloop capacitor-based system from Mazda.
The bigger challenge is tuning the regenerative braking right. While hybrid drivers may be a little more adventurous, when it comes to getting a hang of regen braking, conventional buyers might not be so open-minded. The systems have a tendency to be a little grabby at first and then taper off at very low speeds. Ford needs to make sure it's just right to avoid turning off buyers.
