Hello and thank you for visiting my auction!
This auction is for one Beautiful Ford F-350 Dually, Lariat, 7.3 Liter Turbo Diesel Power Stroke. The truck is from my personal collection of vehicles. (I am not a dealer). I purchased the truck from a Ford Dealership in Miami. I had the Ford dealership inspect it when I purchased it and it came back clean! I've owned the truck for about a year now and it has never given me any problems what so ever! I purchased it to pull my boat, which was only pulled 3 times in the last year or so.
Let's start with the exterior:
The pictures of this truck were taken moments before I posted this Ebay listing. So what you see is what you get, and that's a beautiful truck! The exterior is in over good condition. You can see many of the exterior options listed above such as running boards and 3M Window Tinting. The paint is still in great condition. From what I can see, there is very little if no fading anywhere. As you can see, it is a Ford factory Two Tone paint Lariat upgrade. Most people can't believe when I tell them that it's a 2000. They usually assume that it's a 2007 or 2008. I did replace the front grill with the 2007 model. It was a $600.00 add on and it is an original Ford Part. Makes the truck look great! I've had 2 brand new tires installed in the truck. They probably do not have more than 2 miles on them. I've also purchased some LED lights for the rear fenders, but did not install them since I've decided to sell the truck. They are included and are an $89.00 value. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being perfect, this truck is a 7.9 on the outside!
Interior:
The Interior speaks for itself. I had the truck reupholstered about 7 months ago. I fell in love with the new King Ranch Saddle Interior, so I had to have it! The Reupholstery cost me $2500.00. As you can see from the pictures, it is literally in brand new condition. The carpets are clean! The truck has beautiful wood grain which is in excellent condition! I've also added a top of the line Sony TV DVD player. It cranks and looks awesome! It was an $1100.00 value just added about 8 months ago. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being perfect, the interior is an easy 9.0.
Mechanical: This truck absolutely runs, sounds, and performs incredibly! It has NEVER given me any problems what so ever! It starts right up and has never had a modifacations done to the motor itself. The truck sounds like a dream! It has a new exhuast system and a huge Diesel Truck Pipe!
Below are 2 videos that I recorded of the truck! Please click on the link or copy and paste to see!

Things to know: the truck does have a few minor issues that I know of. If you look at the pictures, you will see a scratch on the passanger front fender. The driver side door and rear door need new locking assemblies. The tonneau cover is not working correctly (came like that when I bought it) Other than that, you can see anything and everything else based on the pictures and videos!
This is a NO RESERVE Auction. This is you chance to get the truck at a great price!
Please trust my excellent feedback!!! As you can see from my past sales, I have sold several other high end items such as other cars, trucks, boats, jetski's, Rolex's, and other fine goods from my personal collections. So what you are getting is 100%!!!

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
