2002 Ford Excursion Limited Sport Utility 4-door 7.3l on 2040-cars

Year:2002 Mileage:197975
Location:

 Hunting season is over and I am selling my Ford Excursion 4x4. This is the diesel with the good 7.3 liter motor and the automatic transmission. This truck has a fully Rhino lined exterior. It's tough as nails from front to back, top to bottom. You can drive it through a thicket and not scratch it. There is nothing wrong with the vehicle. It starts, runs, shifts and stops as it should. It gets around 20 mpg. It does not leak or use oil. The engine is dry as a bone as is the bottom of the vehicle. It has a four inch exhaust from the turbo back. There is no rust. It is power everything and everything works as it should. It  has a sound system in it too complex for me to fully utilize. In other words a really good one. with GPS, etc. Has a cd player and a i pad music hookup. It has a top of the line alarm system and a auto start that will start the vehicle from 100 yards away or more if you wish. Great for when it's cold or hot outside. The leather seats are in good not perfect shape. The driver seat has a hole in the leather from getting in and out, pretty normal and easily repaired.. It has front and back ice cold a/c and tinted windows. There are three seats in it, the rear one can be easily removed and the back seat laid down. Plenty of room to haul about anything you please or to sleep in if you wish.. I have very heavy duty hard rubber floor mats and back mat to protect the floors. I put nerf bars on it to make it easier to get in and out. The vehicle has real good 8 ply Michelin tires on the aluminum rims and the spare is new. I would not be afraid to get in the Excursion and travel anywhere in the U.S.A. I put on plenty of photos. Buyer must pay in cash or cashiers check within 7 days. $1000. to be paid by paypal within 48 hours of auction close. Buyer is responsible for shipping or you can come get it. If you fly in to drive it home I will meet you at DFW airport. Clear title in hand. This is a good clean Excursion with the 7.3 diesel and no mechanical issues. Any questions, ask.

Ford F-450 claims best-in-class towing, company abandons practice of removing items to boost payload number

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.

Ford Figo concept unveiled in India

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

Ford has officially unveiled the Figo Concept at the 2014 Auto Expo in New Delhi. While it may wear a concept badge, we'd argue this little sedan, which is under 12 feet long, looks ready to replace the current Figo and do battle with other B-segment cars in the world's emerging markets.
"With the Figo Concept, we are showing that choosing a compact sedan does not mean compromising on premium design or smart solutions," said Kumar Galhotra, Ford's VP of engineering, global product development. That premium design includes Ford's familial, trapezoidal grille and Fusion-esque headlights in front, while the rear end reminds us of the last-generation Focus Coupe. While that car wasn't exactly attractive, the chopped off tail looks pretty nice on this smaller car. And if you really don't like the looks of the Figo Concept, just remember - it looks better than the current production model. Aerodynamically, the Figo's shape is quite slippery, which means reduced wind noise and improved fuel economy.
As for the "smart solutions" touted by Galhotra, the narrow confines of Indian streets make driving even the tiniest cars a challenge. To give the Figo Concept a one-up on the competition, Ford has fitted power-folding mirrors that sport a "flexible architecture," which should stand up well to bumps from cars, people or bikes. We don't have any interior images, but Ford is promising a large cabin, that includes a dock that can accommodate a phone or MP3 player, allowing either to be controlled through the car.

Ford Australia pulls the ol' talking car prank

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

Siri from Apple has proven that being able to talk to your technology doesn't always work perfectly. But what if it could eventually go far enough to give a personality to inanimate objects like our cars? Ford took just this path to comedic effect by playing a prank on many unsuspecting Australians, in a new commercial for its EcoSport compact crossover.
The Aussies seem very nonchalant about having a random parked car talk to them, and they seem surprisingly game when it asks them to get in, call a celebrity and tell a joke. (We're guessing there are some hilarious outtakes, too.) Scroll down to watch some folks from Down Under have a conversation with Ford's CUV.
