 This Expedition has exceeded my expectations and has been a great vehicle for towing my boat. I have owned it for 6 or 7 years. But have moved down to a smaller car.    I have put the following improvements on the truck since Ive had it; the A/C system blows cold air , the compressor and the evap . were replaced with New. The transmission Transfer Case was completely redone (at a cost of $1400 dollars).  The ignition coils were replaced not long ago. New starter , new alternator. New battery.  This engine runs very smooth. There is no hesitant acceleration at all. Has the pep of a much newer and lower milage truck.  The driveshaft is New along with the U -joints($700).  I had some tie rods replaced to improve the steering. Power steering works great. I have changed all the brakes in the last 2 or three years. A New wiper motor assembly was put in when I got it.   The tires are good and a couple were replaced this year.   This is a great truck for someone local in South Florida that needs a truck to tow their boat with or for working with a lot of tools. Its great for short or long distance traveling as Ive done both. Cruise control works great.

It has the leather seats with the heated seat warmers. The interior is a little worn but it cleans up well.  3rd row seating is a plus for a larger family, it seats 7.
It has a 6 disc cd changer.

the three things that dont work are ; 1) The A/C only blows out of the defroster and the upper vents. I think its a bad diverter, no big deal still cools great.  2) Driver side door key-lock mechanism was punched out by a hoodlum , but the lock still works and unlocks with a pin-pad code on the door. Again no big deal to fix and its been this way for 4 years now. The left hand door behind the driver side lock does not respond with the power locks. But it works manually just fine.

There are a couple areas of rust on the bottom of the doors. but Its been that way since I got it and it doesnt affect anything accept the appearance. A body shop could fix it for a  couple hundred bucks if you rear wanted it to look perfect.

 I forgot to mention it had all new brake lines installed.    Also it has a tow package.

2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty is class-leading once again

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Time for everyone to feign surprise - Ford has just announced that it has the increased horsepower and torque levels of its 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 engine for 2015. As you'd expect, the Blue Oval is claiming class-leading figures of 440 hp (up from 400) and 860 pound-feet (up from 800), and that's enough to enable Ford's F-450 Super Duty model to tow as much as 31,200 pounds, which, again, the automaker claims is class leading.
Now, it should be noted that the max rating quoted above is achieved with the Ford F-450. The 2015 F-350, which is perhaps a better comparison to the Ram 3500 HD pickup that claimed the towing crown in 2013 at an even 30,000 pounds, is capped at 26,500 pounds, either with a gooseneck or when towing a fifth-wheel trailer. In any case, it's going to take a load the size of Godzilla to make any of the current crop of fullsize heavy-duty pickup trucks break into a sweat. For those keeping track, Chevy rates its 2015 Silverado HD at a maximum of 23,200 pounds.
Ford's newfound pulling power comes courtesy of a larger turbocharger for its in-house Power Stroke engine, new fuel injector tips and, we'd assume, retuned computer controls. Besides the engine enhancements, the F-350 gets a wider front track for 2015 and new front springs, while the F-450 gains commercial-grade 19.5-inch wheels and tires, new rear U-joints, leaf springs, stabilizer bars and shocks. The steering and brake systems have also been upgraded.

Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
