2004 Ford Explorer Limited Sport Utility 4-door 4.6l 4 Wheel Drive on 2040-cars
Burlington, Wisconsin, United States
|
Up for your consideration is our Explorer Limited 4x4. The reason for sale is we just purchased a new vehicle. I bought the truck in March of 2011 with 135k miles on it. It came from Ohio and already had some corrosion in the same places I have mentioned in the condition section. When I bought it, I had the following items replaced as they were worn or it was past due. Double platinum spark plugs, serpentine belt, both front wheel hub assemblies, rear ABS sensor, front lower ball joints, rear pinion seal, pressure transducer switch. At 140k, I had to replace the alternator. The OEM aluminum clad with chrome rims were peeling and looked awful to me. At 151k miles, I replaced the rims, tires and rear spring / shock assemblies. At 158k miles, the battery was repaced. All oil changes since I have owned the vehicle have been done with full synthetic oil. Interior is nice. Everything on the vehicle works, but I will list what I see as the negatives as I do not want you to have any surprises like I had when I had to purchase all the things above right away after having a safety check performed. The driver side speaker does not seem to be correct. It will come and go at times volume wise. Not sure if it is a connection at the speaker or radio, but it was not enough of a nuisance for me to pursue. When I had the rims replaced, the Ford dealer moved the air pressure switches from the old rims to the new rims. One of those must have been damaged because on most trips, the check air pressure message comes on even though the tires are at the correct pressure. It was not worth it to me to pursue a fix. There are some areas on the exterior where it looked like the paint was buffed or rubbed too hard with something, leaving some slight scuffs or color difference in the white. There are places where little chips were touched up. Being pretty picky here, but again I do not want to paint a different picture than what it is. Overall, a very nice and dependable truck for us with all the updates I put in. I did not spend the money for a porter, but the car was washed weekly and kept in my garage since the day we purchased. We were able to seat us and 5 kids with the third row seat. I have included a picture of the window sticker so you can see all the options, easier than listing them all out. Extras include the tinted bug shield and window vents. Good luck bidding! |

Ford Edge Concept previews new look, can park itself remotely
Wed, 20 Nov 2013It turns out the image we saw back in February did, in fact, reveal the next-generation Ford Edge - at least in concept form. We still have to wait to see what the design will look like in production guise, but until then, Ford is giving us a good idea thanks to the Edge Concept being introduced at the LA Auto Show.
The new styling is an evolution of the current crossover's face with narrow headlights and a prominently slatted grille, while the rest of the design adds a more dynamic appearance with interesting body creases and horizontal taillights. We haven't gotten a look inside the Edge Concept just yet, but Ford is promising a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies including a new self-park system that allows activation from inside or outside the vehicle along with obstacle avoidance and an adaptive electric power steering system.
Ford will continue to offer an EcoBoost engine option in the upcoming Edge, and it will get active grille shutters to help maximize fuel efficiency. No word yet on when we'll be seeing the next-gen Edge in production form, but as we reported recently, it will become a global model in markets including Europe, China and South America. Ford's press release is posted below, but we'll have more information and images up later today.
Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion
Thu, 30 Oct 2014After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.
Jay Leno drives postcard-perfect '32 Ford Highboy Roadster
Mon, 25 Aug 2014At the turn of the century, it was arguably the Honda Civic that best defined inexpensive performance tuning, and in the '50s it was the Tri-5 Chevys. One of the earliest platforms to gain a huge following among young people looking for a cheap way to go fast was the classic '32 Ford Highboy Roadster. This week, Jay Leno's Garage looks at one of the very first vehicles that defined the look of the hot rod heyday.
This '32 Ford was built in the '40s and graced the cover of the fourth issue of Hot Rod Magazine back in 1948. All of the hot rods that you see shining at car shows today owe a serious debt of gratitude to this roadster. It bears all of the cues that define the look, including a notched frame and hidden door hinges. Under the three-piece hood is a flathead V8 boasting all sorts of period modifications, including copper cylinder heads. It was seriously fast in its era too, and proved it by reaching 112.21 miles per hour on a dry lakebed in 1947.
These days, this hot rod is on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Although, if you can't make it to California to see it, the United States Postal Service is celebrating this Ford with one of its two hot rod Forever stamps. Like Jay says in the video, in terms of hot rodding, "it all comes back to this." Check out the video to learn more about this rolling piece of tuning history.
