Thanks for looking at this listing. My family has owned this truck for approximately 11 of its 13 model years. My mother in law bought it used from a dealer in 2002 and I bought it from her in 2005 with about 36,000 miles on the odometer. Since that time, I have put 85,000 miles on the truck and it has performed wonderfully. It has never let me down. I am selling it only because the commute to my new job is 100 miles roundtrip and while this vehicle is trustworthy and reliable, the average MPG of 17 is costing me too much money.

Engine is the 5.0L motor that has been in the Mustang for years. Very reliable and moves this vehicle along with very little effort. I have gotten as much as 21mpg on straight highway runs while on vacation, but mixed city and highway is about 16.5 to 17mpg.

Transmission shifts firmly and gets into top gear around 37mph.

The tires are about three years old with about 26,000 miles on them. That may seem like a lot, but look at the pictures where I've shown a penny in the tread. The original Michelin LTXs were replaced at 95,000 miles and still had 50% of their tread left. They had dry rotted to the point where safety dictated that I replace them. I kept them inflated to the max pressure of 35psi and they wear very little.

It has been set up with Sirius Satellite Radio. Its hardwired through the antenna using an FM Modulator. I have no need for the receiver anymore so I'm letting it go with truck.

While the vehicle is in overall good shape for being 14 model years old with 121,000 miles, there are a few "defects":

1 - There is rust on the rocker panels (see pictures).

2 - There are a couple of small dimples on the front of the hood that came from my father in law pulling too far into the garage in hitting the vice on his workbench. They are hidden by a bug deflector.

3 - The Manual A/C & Heater work fine, but Automatic Climate Control does not work because the blend box door is broken. Replacing the door is a very expensive and labor intensive job as the dashboard has to be taken out. The manual buttons work fine, A/C is ice cold and the heat gets hot. Defroster works fine. Its just that the Automatic Function where you select a temperature does not work.

4 - The brakes work fine but the ABS light is on. In as much as my shop and I can determine, we think its a sensor. I replaced one of the four hubs a couple of years ago, but apparently that wasn't the sensor that was bad.

5 - There are some typical dings and scratches here and there after 13+ years and the paint is faded in spots and has some discoloration from exposure to the elements.

6 - There is one scratch on the door guard and step by the rear passenger door (see pictures) where my father in law bumped up against a wooden fence post.

7 - The rear hatch will not stay open. One of the hydraulic struts broke its mount. It needs to be replaced. It has a rear glass panel that works fine. I've been loading it from the back using the glass panel now for a year.

Its been a good reliable vehicle for over 11 years. I don't have kids, but if I did and they were going off to college or needed a first car, I'd hope to find a truck like this for them and together we'd take the time to fix the tailgate hatch issue.

I'll try to post a video of me starting it up and taking it around the block, showing you window operations, etc.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.

Ford recalling 450,000 Fusion, Mercury Milan sedans

Tue, Nov 24 2015

Ford has announced a pair of recalls, and both are critical safety issues. The exponentially larger of the two recall campaigns affects over 450,000 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans manufactured at the Hermosillo plant between July 21, 2008, and March 4, 2011. The canister purge valve in the fuel tank could malfunction and could cause the top of the tank to crack and leak fuel. That could cause a fire, although Ford "is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires" resulting from the issue. Affected vehicles will have their ECU software updated and their fuel tanks inspected for potential replacement. The company estimates there are 411,205 affected units in the United States (and its federalized territories), plus another 33,605 in Canada, and 7,055 in Mexico. The second recall affects 13 F-650 trucks. The column shifter's park position mechanism may fracture and let the truck roll away unexpectedly. Those 2016 models built in Ohio between July 29 and September 3, 2015 are all located in the US. Fixing the problem will require replacing the steering column and reconfiguring the instrument panel. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 23, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles in North America for potential fuel tank issue Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 450,000 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles for a potential issue with the fuel tank. Some of these vehicles might have a canister purge valve that does not work properly, causing internal pressure changes inside the fuel tank. Repeated pressure changes inside the tank could result in a crack on the top of the tank, possibly allowing fuel to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can lead to a fire. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant from July 21, 2008 through March 4, 2011. There are a total of approximately 451,865 vehicles that might be affected in North America, including 411,205 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 33,605 in Canada and 7,055 in Mexico.

Is this '47 Chevrolet a rat rod or a sports car?

Sun, May 22 2016

These days there are plenty of vehicles that blur the conventional automotive class structures. For instance, was the Honda Crosstour a wagon or an SUV? And what exactly was the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet? Regardless, those line-blurring cars (or trucks) are out there, and though this one didn't roll off a production line, it's still quite the automotive head-scratcher. Hailing from Missouri, this epic creation is one part mad science experiment, one part 1947 Chevrolet pickup, and one part '95 Mercury Cougar. Add it all up and you get an awesome truck-sports-car hybrid, complete with an outrageous wing and a V8 to boot. And interestingly enough, it's up for sale . RELATED: Check out this Wild-Styled Lamborghini Rat Rod So how does it all come together? According to the listing, the Chevrolet truck cab (which had previously been chopped) was sanded down to bare metal and given a thorough shellacking of clear coat. It was then melded together with the front end of a 1995 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck, and set low to the ground on Bilstein suspension drop spindles. Stance achieved. But instead of fielding an engine from either of those pickups, it pulls its heart from a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV—a big 5.3-liter V8 heart, that is. It comes backed-up to a GM Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Towards the rear however is where things get really interesting. A Copper Pearl coated tube frame chassis both attaches the rear independent suspension (a la Mercury Cougar) to the racy spoiler, as well as secures the rat rod's rear-mounted radiator, fan, and fuel tank. I'm not quite sure why, but it just looks glorious. RELATED: Reports Say Mid-Engine Corvette Will Arrive in 2018 Inside the vintage cab, the Chevrolet furthers its racing proclivities (it's said to have won burnout and auto-cross events) with a pair of harnessed racing seats, a drift brake, a detachable steering wheel, and a tachometer with oil and temperature gauges, but oddly no speedometer. The shifter is a crescent wrench. And its shift boot? That's a Crown Royal Purple bag. All in all, this grin-worthy Frankenstein creation tallies up bits and pieces from four different vehicles (five if you include the Camaro wheels), which make it truly a mash-up of epic proportions. Internet, what do you think? Related Video: This article by Zach Doell originally appeared on Boldride. Design/Style Chevrolet Mercury Auctions Coupe Special and Limited Editions Classics eBay rat rod
