This truck had been a dependable daily driver locally and on frequent trips to Georgia up until it was no longer needed in June 2012. It hasn't been driven regularly since then. I bought the truck used eleven years ago. The radio, A/C and heater work good. The doors glass and rear window sliding glass work fine. The tires are larger than stock 31 x 10.50 R15 LT BF Goodrich Radial Long Trails, and they have plenty of miles left on them. The spare tire is a never used LT235/75R15. The engine has a lot of miles on it but doesn't smoke or use an excessive amount of oil. The transmission has been serviced regularly over the years. This is an old truck that's starting to show it's age, though, so it's being sold as is. The tail gate is from an F-350 XLT that had the trim removed, which is why there are mounting holes visible. There's a little rust over each rear quarter panel wheel well, and on the driver's side front quarter panel behind the tire. Both front headlight assemblies collect condensation inside, but it doesn't affect operation. The rear brakes and wheel cylinders were replaced a month ago. This week the A/C was serviced, the oil and filter were changed, the tires were rotated, and the two-year emissions inspection and the one-year safety inspection (Virginia) were successfully renewed. 


I intend to post and answer all questions about this truck. 

(Update: I added a picture of the bed.)

(Update 2: There's mention in the vehicle check report about a duplicate title and a lien. I don't know what occurred before I bought the truck, but I have a clear title issued in 2004 that indicates no liens. There's also mention about the emissions inspection. I have the Mar 17, 2013 two-year pass certificate and it's loaded electronically in the state system, though it may have been too recent to appear on the vehicle check report. I can provide e-mailed scans of both the title and emissions paperwork, though for identity protection reasons, some personal information would be blacked out.)

Ford reports $3B profit in Q4, $6.9B for the year

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Good news out of Dearborn today, as Ford announced $3 billion in profit for the last quarter of 2013, a 90-percent increase over the same period of 2012. Net income for all of last year, meanwhile, jumped to $7.2 billion from $5.7 billion in 2012, while pre-tax profits sat at a decade-topping $6.9 billion for all of 2013.
The results of the substantial profit increases are bigger profit-sharing checks for UAW employees. How big? A record $8,800 on average for 47,000 UAW workers, making 2013 the biggest year for profit sharing in Ford history. In total, $414 million will be paid as part of the profit-sharing scheme.
Now, it should be pointed out that a fair portion of Ford's Q4 profits were due to tax benefits, totaling $2.1 billion, according to Automotive News. Total profits would have also been higher, had there not been a significant recall on the Escape, as well as plant issues in South America.

Ford readying 2015 F-150 drift truck for SEMA

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Between the Mustangs you'd find in Formula D and the Fiestas in the Global and World rallycross championships, there's no shortage of Ford drift cars on the scene. But at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Blue Oval automaker intends to show off a different kind of drift machine.
Created in collaboration with driftmeister Vaughn Gittin, Jr., this custom F-150 has been designed for "on- and off-road capabilities, as well as drifting and jumping." It's got a suspension with components from Kibbetech King and Air Lift Performance to give it 12 inches of travel and comes packed with 5 Recaro seats. Other details remain limited, but if the rendering above is anything to go by, it ought to be pretty awesome.
Alongside the Gittin truck, Ford will also be showcasing another F-150 designed together with freestyle motorcross rider Brian Deegan, packing the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and a long list of enhancements. Between these two trucks, Ford hopes to extend its winning streak for the Hottest Truck award that it's taken four years running now. Feel free to read more in the press release below.

Ford 1.0L takes third-straight International Engine of the Year award

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost is proving to be The Little Engine That Could, and it continues to acquit itself well, finding favor as one of the best powerplants in the world. To confirm it yet again, the tiny mill just won the International Engine of the Year award for the third year in a row, likewise also nabbing the title in the Sub 1.0-liter category.
Packing 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque with overboost (125 lb-ft normally), the tiny engine combines impressive power in a size small enough to be a carry-on item for a commercial flight. US buyers only got a taste of the award winner in the 2014 Fiesta, while the 1.0 EcoBoost has been available throughout the Ford lineup in Europe for a few years now. American sales have reportedly been strong, however, and next up in the US, the mill will find its way into the 2015 Focus.
The panel of 82 jury members from 34 countries also named the Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter turbo found in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG models with 355 hp and 332 lb-ft as the best New Engine for 2014. The electric powertrain from Tesla won Green Engine prize, and the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari 458 Italia took home the honor of top Performance Engine yet again. You can check out all the winners below, and scroll down further to read Ford's celebratory announcement of its award.
