1988 Bronco II 2WD– V6 2.9L EFI with a 5-speed Over Drive Manual Transmission. This is not your normal 1988 vehicle. We are the original owners so we know what has happened with this truck since the day we picked it up with 23 miles on the odometer. We ran the factory oil for the first 2K miles then changed to Mobile 1 Synthetic and have changed the oil every 3K since using Mobile 1. Currently there are 209K miles on the original engine. The 5-speed OD tranny had to have a couple gears replaced about 20K miles ago as they were howling. Even though the clutch was still serviceable we replaced the disc and pressure plate as a preventive measure. The tires have less than 2K miles on them and it has aluminum wheels. This truck has never been driven in a Michigan or other snowy state’s winter. It was repainted in 2012 to a near factory color and it has Ghost Flames. When it was repainted the following was replaced: Door Seals, Window Seals, Marker Lights, Taillight/Brake Light Assemblies, Carpet (sound deadening insulation installed), Front Seat Belt Assemblies, Windshield and trim, Bumpers, Grille and Insert, Ford Emblems, Mirrors, Door Handles, and anything that was not replaced was repainted to look new. As you can see by the plates the Bronco is registered in Alaska but that is only because we are military and that is where we last registered it. The Bronco has never been to Alaska and has been in storage\restoration with family in Michigan since 2007. We were home last year for vacation and drove the Bronco all over Michigan for two weeks with no issues, including a trip up north @75MPH. This is a 26 year old vehicle but has been well cared for. It may not handle/drive like your 2013 Escape, Explorer or F-150 but definitely turns heads when you cruise down the road and is fun to drive.

2015 Ford Transit Connect Wagon
Thu, May 28 2015The last time I tested a Ford Transit Connect, I needed to drive a group of friends to Boyne, MI, for a long weekend of skiing, snowboarding, and shenanigans. At roughly three hours, the trip is just long enough that my friends asked for something comfortable. A Range Rover would've been ideal. Perhaps a Mercedes-Benz GL or Cadillac Escalade. But no, I chose Transit Connect, to put Ford's small van formula to the test. The tiny van was near the end of its lifecycle in 2012, having debuted in Europe in 2003. Its age was reflected in its loud, underpowered, inefficient engine; noisy, harsh ride; and uncomfortable seats. It was so uncomfortable that we had to stop every hour just to stretch our legs. I didn't have such elaborate plans when this 2015 Transit Connect Wagon arrived in my driveway. But after a week behind the wheel, I can tell that road tripping in this van would be a far, far better experience. The most obvious change for the second-generation model is the styling. It's much better looking than the old TC, looking like the high-roofed spawn of a Focus and Escape. There are a few anomalies, though. First, note the word "Wagon" – that implies passenger van, while the cargo/work-minded Transit Connect is called "Van." Next, this Titanium model is only available on the longer-wheelbase, three-row Wagon. With the LWB configuration, the only tailgate option is a single-piece, lift-up hatch. If you want barn-style doors, get cozy with the short-wheelbase, two-row Transit Connect XLT. Regardless of body style, the Transit Connect Wagon's best styling feature is its enormous greenhouse that guarantees excellent visibility from any angle. The interior adopts a dash layout similar to the Focus. The heated leather seats – standard on the Titanium – are nice enough, but better still is that the chairs are actually comfortable now. The plastics on the dash and doors are still hard and scratchy, but fit and finish is solid. And with major contact points and switchgear that have been pilfered from other Ford products, including the steering wheel, the occasional bad bits in the cabin are easy enough to ignore. With room for three folks in the second row and two more in the back, the Transit Connect Wagon fills a role that is more utilitarian and spartan, but not much less versatile than traditional minivans. The middle row seats feature stadium-style raised seating, and both rows can slide forward and back or fold.
Ford dominates most-stolen SUV list
Tue, 17 Jun 2014
The Ford Escape leads the NICB's list with 1,421 examples stolen.
If you drive a recent Ford SUV or crossover, you may want to keep a watchful eye out for thieves - especially if you live in the New York metro area or in Detroit. A new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau has named three Ford models as the most likely vehicles in their genre to be stolen, with CUVs in general being especially attractive to bandits.
NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
