Ford F-150 Pick Up Truck Xlt Extended Cab 4 Door 2wd 8 Foot Long Bed Triton V8 on 2040-cars

Year:2000 Mileage:144000

Please read this entire description before bidding.  I am providing a lot of detail in this description so it is accurately described.  I have already purchased its replacement so there is no reserve.  I need to get it off my insurance policy ASAP.  It will be sold to the highest bidder when this auction closes.  Happy bidding and good luck. 

For sale is my Ford F-150 XLT pick up truck that has an extended cab, 8 foot bed, 2WD, and a rear sliding window.  Less than 25% of all trucks made have any of these options.  Less than 1% have all of them on the same vehicle.  It is very rare. 

It isn't my primary vehicle.  I've always had a pick up as a second vehicle to move the family to the shore on weekends and deliver furniture to and from a local estate auction when I can handle the loading and unloading by myself.  My family has grown and I found a similar truck that has all the same features with the larger size crew cab.  As I show in the pictures, the extended cab has the front seat that is a split 60%/40% bench and the middle can be  tilted down to become an arm rest / cup holder.  The back seats are also a 60%/40% split bench that can be locked in the upright position.  

I purchased it in 2007 with 101,000 miles and I've put almost 43,000 miles on it.  The motor is a Triton 8 cylinder, 4.6 L with strong power.  The prior owner used it as a toy because it had the bed rug and stretch vinyl bed cover on it.  Most of my miles have been from driving family stuff like kids, bikes, strollers, etc.  The light moving was minimal miles and just local deliveries.  The vinyl cover got wind damaged because I didn't secure it for highway driving.  I needed to removed the three bed rug side panels to protect them from rain when I removed the bed cover and frame.  I still have all the sections and will include them in this auction if the winning bidder wants it.  

Mechanically, this is a great truck.  I gave it regular maintenance.  The oil was changed within the last 1,000 miles, I replaced the tires last year and just replaced the breaks and rotors last month.   On the way home from getting the breaks replaced, I got the long scratch / dent over the passenger side rear wheel well.  That is the worst dent / scratch on the truck and was the catalyst to start the search for the replacement.  

Any truck with this many miles has flaws.  Almost all flaws with this truck are cosmetic.  Another words, there are several dings and dents all around this truck.  Most were on the truck when I bought it.  You will see my replacement has several too.  Trucks seem to be cheaper when they have a couple dents.  I have always cared more about the trim package and mechanical reliability.  I've photographed and included the up close shots of the worst ones.  There is also small 3" crack in the windshield caused by a stone that shot up from a vehicle in front of me.  It is not a distraction while driving and has passed inspections.  The plastic end cap that is on top of the gear shifter went missing a couple years ago.  The kids never fessed up how they actually got it off and I never got around to buying another one.  

The ABS light has stayed lit while driving for the past three years  I had the antilock braking system checked back when the light got stuck on.  It works fine and has always past inspection while lit.  I just never wanted to spend big bucks trying to figure out why it stays on.  For some reason the passenger side lock won't go up when you push the power lock button on the drivers side.  Again, not a big deal.  You can see from the pics the interior seats are clean and I have extra mats on the floor.  The stains on the floor are from the kids that spilt soda and drinks.  Giving the carpets a shampoo would remove them if that is important to you.

This truck isn't half way through its life because it has been well maintained and never used hard.  I took a pic of my replacement gold color Ram pick up truck bed cover so you can see the type of vinyl cover frame I have and what it would look like if you decide to purchase a new cover to put over the existing but unattached frame.  Nothing in the picture showing the gold truck is for sale in this auction.  It is included strictly for a visual description only of what the vinyl cover would look like on the truck being sold.

If you have any questions, please ask.  Bid with confidence.  I can't think of anything else to share about it.  Good luck in your bidding.  Someone will get a great deal on a rare XLT, 2WD, 8' long bed with an extended cab that runs great.  Thank you for your interest.

Ford builds one-off 50th anniversary Mustang Convertible for charity

Thu, 08 May 2014

At the New York Auto Show this year, Ford revealed a special-edition Mustang to honor the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples will be made, all of them fixed-roof coupes. But the Blue Oval automaker has just announced that it's also building a single 50 Years edition convertible that it will raffled off for charity.
The first production example of the new Mustang Convertible to roll off the line this fall, this one-off will pack many of the features on the 50 Years coupe, including its white paintjob, chrome trim, aluminum dashboard, two-tone upholstery, contrast stitching, special 19-inch wheels and special-edition badging throughout.
This unique cabrio will also be fitted with a special performance pack including Pirelli PZero rubber, Brembo brakes and a limited-slip differential to help get the 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque from the 5.0-liter V8 through the six-speed manual transmission and down to the road. It'll also feature a serial plaque with the number 0001 of 0001 and chairman Bill Ford's signature.

Crowdsource funding push on to save historic Ford buildings

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

Detroit has no shortage of old, abandoned buildings, both within the city and in the surrounding communities. Few, though, have the historical significance of the old Ford Highland Park facility. Home to the very first moving assembly line, Highland Park was designed by the legendary Albert Kahn, and was one of the homes of the Model T.
Now, the Woodward Avenue Action Association is attempting to buy both the 40,000-square-foot admin building, which is located off the historic Woodward Avenue, and an 8,000-square-foot garage. The WAAA's goal is to convert the buildings into an automotive heritage center. The Detroit News spoke to the interim director of the WAAA, Deborah Schutt, who commented, "[Metro Detroit has] not been very good at telling our own story. So we've decided, let's pull everything together and tell our story."
The WAAA made an offer of $550,000 to buy the two buildings, and has $400,000 from the Michigan Department of Transportation and another $15,000 from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. It's trying to raise a further $125,000 through crowd-sourcing, starting a campaign called "Five Dollars A Day," after old Hank Ford's $5-per-day wage for line workers.

Ford Transit production fires up, American Pickers among first takers

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

Not long ago, the History Channel showed a seemingly unending stream of World War II documentaries, but it made a switch a few years ago to include an increasing mix of 'reality' programming. American Pickers was one of the early attempts at this new formula, with cameras following hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz around the country in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as they tracked down collectibles and "rusty gold" for their Iowa shop, Antique Archeology. The show has since gone on to become one of the channel's most popular programs.
Starting in the new episode airing tonight, the affable hosts will swap their Benz for a 2015 Ford Transit, a nicely timed bit of marketing to coincide with the launch of the model's assembly at the Blue Oval's Kansas City Assembly Plant, which also kicks off this week. Ford is touting 2,000 new jobs created as part of its $1.1-billion investment in the plant.
No strangers to product placement, the guys from American Pickers say their switch away from the Sprinter is because they wanted to balance cargo capacity and fuel economy to make the most of their cross-country jaunts. They opted for the largest Transit available with a long wheelbase, extended body and high roof, giving them 487 cubic feet of cargo room. Hauling power comes from a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel engine with 190 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. Fittingly, the van wears the same Antique Archaeology logo over white paint as their old Sprinter.
