I had great plans for this truck, (and still do if it doesn't sell). When I bought It 8 months ago, 2 weeks later I was offered a job in Utah and moved 2 weeks after that. I bought it because it is a very rare version of f150. What makes this a rare truck well. #1 it is a super cab. #2 it is a short box. #3 it is 2 wheel drive. #4 It is a 300 ci 6cyl automatic. #5 dual tanks. Even more rare here in Utah is the lack of rust on this truck. There is no more than some surface rust on the roof. Now none of those items is rare or unique by itself, however the combination is vary rare. I moved from Portland Oregon and bought the truck out of central Oregon (Salem). When my wife drove the truck from there to here we went through 5 tanks of fuel and she averaged 19.8 mpg. Now this is my daily driver and I usually get between 16 and 18 mpg with combined in town and freeway driving. It is very reliable and comfortable. Since I have owned it I have replaced the passenger side floor pan, and part of the drivers door jamb. Installed rear slider, tune up, oil pan gasket, I replaced the rear jump seats with a matching bench (I still have the jump seats). Installed a receiver hitch and wiring with a factory connector (no wires were cut). It is the original paint that has been touched up by a previous owner. It looks good but a new paint job isn't far off. Especially in the Utah sun. It has some chips here and there. everything works all the lights, fuel switch, gauges, power steering, brakes, everything. It appears to me from the condition of the truck and receipts I have found that the truck was gone through about 10 years ago and got touch up paint, tires, wheels, shock, steering bushings, headliner, door seals (those could be replaced again they are starting to crack), the front seat has a tear and a duct tape patch. And the back seat has developed a tear since I installed it. The truck leaks nothing but could use a tranny pan gasket. I get compliments everywhere I go. it runs cool and quiet and looks good. I have a few parts I was planning on putting on it that will go with it. If you want them. A full set of aluminum mags. They are Outlaw style. I also have a 4 barrel intake manifold for it as I was planning on removing the one barrel to get a little more horsepower. I do not have the 390 cfm carb to go with it. The offenhauser intake is brand new, never been installed. I have a clean clear Oregon title. I have not transferred it to Utah yet.

2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost
Wed, 19 Nov 2014
A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.
The history and future of the Ford Bronco
Tue, 17 Jun 2014
Some have suggested that the Bronco's demise was hastened by the fallout from the O.J. trial.
Twenty years ago today, ex-NFL linebacker Al "A.C." Cowlings drove his friend and onetime running back Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson on a parade lap of the Los Angeles highway system and onto an ignoble page of the history books. If you're in your late 20s or older, or a fastidious young student of 1990s American history, you're absolutely aware that Al and O.J.'s steed for the 'chase' was a white Ford Bronco. The white Ford Bronco, even.
NHTSA opens investigation into Ford Explorer PI brakes
Wed, 27 Aug 2014This year more than most, it's pleasant when we can string together a few days without word of an automaker or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announcing a bunch of new recalls. It's seemingly been a little quiet on this front lately (barring a spider-related Suzuki issue revealed early today), but now we have word of the government safety agency opening a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2013 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor, a probe that could potentially affect an estimated 20,000 vehicles.
The issue being investigated concerns failures of the front brake hose on the vehicle that show "small splits in the hoses near the body side ferrule of the hose assembly," according to the agency, and the issue could result in longer stopping distances. The feds have reports of 13 malfunctions affecting 11 Explorer units. However, it's important to note that all of the incidents come from a single, unnamed metropolitan police fleet that operates 46 of them. According to The Detroit News, the failures generally took place between December and July.
NHTSA is investigating further to find if this is a more widespread issue than just this one fleet. Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker confirmed to us, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the agency's report.
