2011 Ford Escape Xlt Sport Utility 4-door Fwd 3.0l Flex Fuel - Red Sangria on 2040-cars
Johnston, Iowa, United States
Up for auction: 2011 Ford Escape XLT FWD 3.0L Flex fuel V6 Exterior Color: Red Sangria Interior Color: Charcoal Options: 3.0L Flex Fuel V6 (Rated to burn any grade of gasoline up to E85) Automatic 6 speed transmission, Towing hitch, Rear Defrost and Wiper, Cloth seats, Driver and Passenger side air bags, anti-lock brakes, TCS (Traction Control System - simply controls wheel spin by electronically limiting the amount of power going to the spinning wheel.) Sound system with AM/FM, Sirius Satellite, Single MP3 capable CD, Microsoft Sync with Bluetooth, USB, Line in, iPod controls through USB This one owner SUV has been regularly serviced per the Ford recommendations. All service records are available. It has never been in an accident. This vehicle is mechanically flawless and all accessories work perfectly Tires are at least 75% life, and rotated regularly. There are 113,500 miles on it, but they are all highway miles. On the highway, using regular (no alcohol) unleaded, the MPG approaches 28 on the interstate, and I have seen it at 31 on 55 MPH roads. I have consistently burned regular unleaded, and there have only been a handful of times it has had E10 ('Super' grade with alcohol) fuel. On this particular vehicle, the MPG is 10% or higher or better using regular. I have taken good care of this car, it only has minor exterior imperfections - a few rock chips on the front nose of the hood, a small scrape where a truck backed into the front bumper at a stop light, a small scratch in the paint by the passenger side mirror. The interior is about the same, with the usual wear and tear of someone who spends a lot of time in their vehicle. The vehicle has not ever been smoked in. The vehicle will be detailed before it is handed over to the winning/paying bidder. The title was paid in full in June and it will be in our hands by the time this transaction is over. Should you need it shipped, I will help load it on the transport of your choice, but do not have a preferred company. This has been a great vehicle for us, but it is time to downsize. Please visit my Autotrader ad for a few more pictures - just search for a 2011 Ford Escape and it should come up. Ask me if you need a link to Autotrader, or if you have any questions or need any other pictures. Thanks for looking! Boutontechnologies |

Ford rolls out diesel Focus ST at Goodwood [w/poll]
Sun, 29 Jun 2014If you're in the market for a hot hatch, there are some excellent choices at your disposal - especially if you live in Europe. But if you want a diesel, well, your choices become rather more limited. Volkswagen tends to that niche market with the Golf GTD (essentially an oil-burning version of the GTI available Stateside), but that's about the extent of it. The pleas of those looking for more diesel-burning hot hatch choices haven't fallen on deaf ears at Ford, with the Blue Oval not only rolling out a facelifted gas-powered Focus ST at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend, but also a new diesel version as well.
The diesel Focus ST (which we hope and pray isn't marketed as the STD) packs a 2.0-liter turbodiesel four producing 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque to propel the oil-burning hot hatch to 62 in 8.1 seconds en route to a top speed of 135 miles per hour. With less power and only slightly more torque, that makes the diesel Focus ST considerably slower than the gasoline one, which packs 252 hp and 270 lb-ft, runs to 62 in 6.5 seconds and tops out at 154 mph, but (in a testament to how far particulate filters have come) the diesel model cuts carbon emissions by nearly a third compared to the petrol version and returns about 50-percent better fuel economy, which makes that much more of a difference in markets where diesel is already priced better than gasoline at the pump.
For buyers who wouldn't consider anything other than a diesel, it also represents 23-percent more power than the previous top-level diesel Focus. The VW Golf GTD, for reference, offers up 181 hp (just 1 horse less), 280 lb-ft (15 fewer torques) but is somehow estimated to reach 60 in a considerably fleeter 7.4 seconds.
The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.
