The wipers don't work. there is a load on the volt meter when you turn them on but they don't move.

the passenger window is malfunctioning. it requires a push or pull to make it go up or down

the passenger door lock does not function with the lock button

the windshield is cracked, one of the back windows is plexiglas because I was loading up some logs and mis judged the distance

I bent the driver door the wrong way like in Tommy boy so you have to lift it to close it

I was standing on the roof to trim a tree and pinched a wire for the dome light and had to pull the fuse. this in turn means the radio has no power. when it worked it sounded terrible any way.

the paint is toast and there are company decals on the doors.

the tail gate is bent because I slammed 3, 12 foot by 4" x 2.5" bars of 17-4 with a forklift to transport them up the road to be cut

The bumper has a zodiac sticker on it however I have come to the conclusion that they left the boat on the ramp and drove the truck in the ocean because the frame is rusted bad. Not the elegant surface rust, the flaky bad kind.

the tires are old but have tread. there are 3 on the Ford exploder rims and one junkyard rim.  the forth exploder rim is FUBAR. I drove it for two miles with a flat overloaded with concrete.

The brakes are bad, also there was a horrendous set of grooves on the rotors when I replaced the pads. most of the brake lines are new because the old ones exploded. there is a large loop in the line from front to rear and is asking to get snagged on debris.

the engine is original as far as I can tell I routinely overload it and it pulls fine. I have hauled several skids of landscape block from lowes which are said to be 2800# according to the label on them. manual downshift is required if you don't like the smell of burnt brakes. a guard rail will help slow it down if needed. the ford 5.0 had a higher nickel content so they tend to wear less and run strong like bull.

the tranny shifts good. it shifts hard into third if there is not a heavy load on it but its probably the u joints. if it is original its a miracle.

there is a clunk when you step on and let off the gas, im guessing ujoints

I used the bumper hitch to pull rocks and stumps out of the ground with a chain. it is now loose.

the interior is filthy but ill probably vacuum it if there are bids

It passed emmissions !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but is due again, the muffler is new but the pipe after it has fallen off and has a leak up front some where.

The ignition is toast. I ripped it apart because it would shut off in the middle of the road. it turned out to be a connector at the bottom of the assembly which I zip tied. needless to say there is a piece of aluminum you must push to start it. its fully functional down one click for on, push to start. back for acc.

The fuel filters have to be clogged with sediment. when traveling up a hill it will sputter at anything more than idle. after a few seconds it runs ok. on several occasions when driving up a hill I have said out loud to my self that this would be a bad time for it to sputter and it happened with in a few seconds.

both fuel tanks work but the fuel gauge only works on the rear tank.

it leaks a small amount of oil

one of the E-brake cables was ripped off during the flat tire incident

the tailgate was smashed a second time in the opposite direction when the chain slipped off a tree stump

The engine runs better when the check engine light is on. depending on the weather it idles high and low

the temp guage does not work

 

Some of the super large rocks I moved to my parents house by using a set of wood ramps a rope and my brothers F-TREE FIDDY. the rock was chained and the rope fastened to the chain. we then ran it over the roof and onto the tow hook of the other truck. we pulled slow at first and when it was lined up I had him ram it home. the rock made it but the rope dented the roof and ripped the passenger side mirror off.

I would not let any one I care about drive it.

I have set a reserve of what the junk yard would give me if I drive it there. It is 325.00 because ebay take 60 for <2000

If you haven't noticed from the pictures this heap is riddled with dents and scratches

 This is being sold AS IS

Bid with confidence

 It does not sputter on every hill only some times

2013 Ford Explorer Sport

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

When one speaks of sporty and fun-to-drive utility vehicles, few would put the Ford Explorer in the same category as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. Yet, with just a few reservations, I'd toss the new-for-2013 Ford Explorer Sport close to that arena for consideration.
As a recap, the sportiest of Explorers is fitted with Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, making 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. Acceleration is brisk (figure about 7 seconds to 60 miles per hour), as power goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Contributing to its more athletic demeanor are larger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, chassis upgrades, quicker steering ratio and a more aggressive wheel/tire package. Cosmetically, the Sport is distinguished by its blacked-out lights, black trim and noticeable lack of chrome (with the exception of the door handles).
Ford recently handed me the keys to a Ruby Red Metallic Explorer Sport. Rather than mindlessly drive the big seven-passenger all-wheel drive hauler in soccer mom circles around Los Angeles, I loaded up my family and embarked on a long weekend road trip to Yosemite National Park.

Ford adding second supplier for F-150 frames

Mon, Aug 10 2015

Metalsa, the company that builds steel frames for the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, is still having trouble providing enough frames to supply the two factories that build the pickup. The snafu is preventing Ford from selling as many of the country's best-selling truck as it could, and eating into profits - even though the bottom line is still breaking company records. According to The Wall Street Journal, Ford has picked Michigan company Tower International as a second frame supplier and expects to have inventory up to a proper level at the beginning of Q4 of this year. Neither Ford nor Tower would confirm the development - Automotive News got comments from a source and pieced together bits of info from Tower's financial statements and local press reports. Tower currently builds body structures for several vehicles, including the F-series, and the Bellevue, Ohio factory that will build F-150 frames previously manufactured frames for the Ranger and Econoline. According to a story in the local Sandusky Register, Tower will add one production line at the end of next month to begin shipping frames in October, and another line in April 2016. Something like 138 full-time workers and 364 robots are expected to carry out the work. Tower's most recent financial statement said that capital investment will be necessary to get everything set up, but the contract will be worth $140 million in yearly revenue.
