2002 Ford Explorer Xlt Ex- Municipal Fire Department Vehicle on 2040-cars
Preston, Connecticut, United States
|
'02 XLT EXPLORER AWD. 160,000 miles Ex Fire Chief vehicle. Transmission was just fully rebuilt and overdrive solenoids upgraded so it shifts a lot firmer than factory. (If you know these transmissions it was a Ford problem from the factory. No worries with this one giving out anytime). 4.0 V6 Engine was replaced at a Ford Dealership at 127,000. 7 passenger. Interior is clean. All lights and gauges work, cold a/c. Body has dings and scratches around from municipal use but still looks nice. 2 small antennas on the roof and a small black plastic circle on the dash where a emergency light was. No other fire department equipment other than a few screw holes in the rear cargo side panels. Prior repair on the door sills that have been repainted properly and chip guarded (probably from gear scraping the sills. Some scratches still on door jambs further up). Does have the Ford Explorer rear hatch crack that is a common problem and the headliner in front of the visor is starting to droop in 2 small spots. (I will be fixing the headliner.) Check out the pictures. Firestone tires have 2000 miles on them. Runs and drives nice. CT title in my name.

Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company
Thu, 03 Oct 2013
That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.
Ford and Chrysler reducing summer plant shutdowns
Wed, 22 May 2013Most domestic automaker assembly plants traditionally take a couple of weeks off during the summer. The shutdowns give each plant time for much needed repairs and maintenance, and in some cases, help better align production with demand. Not this year, though, as demand for many models is outstripping what Ford, Chrysler and General Motors plants can produce.
Ford has announced that it will shorten its annual summer shutdown for most North American plants from two weeks to one. The shorter shutdown will increase the carmaker's annual North American production by 40,000 units on top of the 200,000 extra units that it was already planning to produce this year versus last. Automotive News reports that Ford produced 2.8 million vehicles on this continent in 2012, and that output this year has already increased 13 percent through April.
Chrysler, meanwhile, is also operating at full tilt and plans to run some plants through the summer with no shutdown at all. Those not getting a break include Jefferson North where the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango are assembled, Toledo North that will assemble the new Cherokee, and Conner Avenue, home of SRT Viper production. Other assembly plants will be down for a single week, while all of Chrysler's engine and transmission plants except one in Indiana will continue operating with no shutdown this summer.
Ford F-450 claims best-in-class towing, company abandons practice of removing items to boost payload number
Tue, 02 Sep 2014The 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.
