Divorce forces sale of my baby... I bought truck new at Schmidt Ford in Salem Il. Truck is perfect mech. condition, never had any problems or recalls. only time went back to dealer was for oil changes and a blown fuse on the trailer light plug. There is minor body damage to the driver side rear bed corner, bumper. I backed into a tree on the jobsite, pushing the bumper forward into the bed corner: see pics. The plastic bumper step guard needs replaced, snap tabs that lock it into bumper are broken. Passenger bed side front has a paint scrape and minor dent. At time of damage I got estimate from body shop for $1800 cash to fix my blunder. Inside of bed has minor scratches and dings; I did use the truck as a truck. Original tires lasted 38k mi. I replaced with Michelin set that has 10k mi. on them, they are rated as a 70k tire. Truck had an alignment at time of tires, something I always do with a new set. Oil has been changed every 3-4 k mi. at either the dealer or quick lube when I couldn't get to dealer. Interior is super clean, no stains on seats or carpet. I bought a set of Marathon Superhides seat covers when truck was new and always had them installed, recently removed them so they could be washed and haven't reinstalled them so the buyer can see the condition of seats;; not trying to hide anything. Rear seats have been covered and never sat in. Truck is for sale locally so seller reserves the right to end auction. Low reserve set taking into consideration of the minor damage. Bid with confidence I don't want to sell this truck, I have to at this time in my life. Someone is going to be getting an excellent vehicle at a very good price!! Feel free to contact Brad at 618-304-6059 with any questions or concerns, I have tried to disclose anything possible about this vehicle. Other pics per request will be taken.$500 deposit at auction end, remaining balance either bank transfer or cashier check

70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025
Wed, 11 Jun 2014In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.
Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage
Mon, 17 Mar 2014There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.
'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you
Fri, 03 May 2013The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
