1996, the last year of possibly the best 4x4 platform ever made... the FULLSIZE Bronco. Better off-road AND on-road than anything with comparable capabilities.

And this is the perfect setup for this rig: a 5spd "handshaker" with a Mustang 5.0 V8 under the hood, all factory of course. TRUE dual exhaust, each line with it's own cat. I had a 6" SuperLift kit installed with extended radius arms and Rancho shocks, by Desert Rat here in Albuquerque. Then I added the wheels and 35" Mickey Thompson Fun Country tires. 4wheel Parts installed 4:11 gears front and rear, and Mesa Radio installed a 40 channel CB and a satellite capable stereo. The soft top is a perfect fit with zipper between upper and lower sections, it's by Texas Tops and gets comments anywhere you go. This rig runs and sounds AWESOME, not too loud just nice. I have never had even one single mechanical problem with this vehicle. It can be used as a daily driver or just a weekender.

I bought this vehicle from the elderly original owner. He worked for the BIA and drove a govt issue Bronco with the same 5spd V8 setup, so when he retired he bought one for himself. It was in basically new condition with about 80K miles on it. Everything on it is in excellent condition. I am only selling this rig to make room in my driveway for a Camaro that I am building. If I could get access to my backyard and build a place to park more vehicles I would, and I would never part with this beautiful Bronco.

Will consider trading for something badass that will fit in my garage, like a newer model Harley etc. Also I have a few guys who want to trade me bikes here locally so I may end this auction early if I do not have an acceptable offer. Thanks for looking and thanks for any offers.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

How the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor became a reality

Wed, 01 May 2013

The camouflaged Ford F-150 SVT Raptor prototype captured above blazing its way across the desert during a test run left company engineers giggling in amazement, reveals Jamal Hameedi in a new Autoweek video. Ford's global performance vehicle chief engineer, accompanied by senior exterior designer Bruce Williams, sat down with the publication to discuss the concept and development of the automaker's super off-road F-150.
Designing a high-performance pickup in 2008, right when the cost of gasoline was going through the roof, seemed insane at the time, but the team pushed forward with the innovative vehicle regardless. The interview includes plenty of Ford B-roll footage as visual candy, and the conversations include discussions about exterior design, ride comfort, anti-lock brake tuning, suspension engineering, weight reduction and why it was necessary to make the Raptor visually different than Ford's standard F-150. The model's origin story is very interesting, and you can learn more about it by watching the video below.

Ford posts decade-best $2.1B profit in Q1 2013

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

As predicted, Ford has reported that its first quarter of 2013 was a resounding success overall, with a pretax profit of $2.1 billion ($0.41 per share), and a net income of $1.6 billion ($0.40 per share). In fact, Ford made a pretax profit of some $2.4 billion in its home North American market, with that total number being pulled down by losses in South America and Europe. That gaudy North American profit is the strongest result by the automaker since 2000.
Ford's companywide profit for Q1 was down $147 million from one year ago, while the net income number marked an increase of $215 million year over year. Overall, this is Ford's 15th-consecutive profitable quarter.
The bad news from the European market was even worst in Q1 2013 than it was last year. Pretax losses of $462 million - on revenue of $6.7 billion - represented a year-over-year change of -$313 million. In South American, the company reported a loss of $218 million, down from a slim profit of $54 million in Q1 2012. The news was better for Ford Asia Pacific Africa, where a $6 million pretax profit in 2013 showed a year-over-year gain of some $101 million when compared to losses in 2012.
