This Bronco is one of the last ones to be built.  In 1996, Ford made several upgrades to the F150/Bronco line before the body style was discontinued including: roller-rockers, OBD-II compliant emissions, reinforced B-pillars (all other model year Broncos crack just above the door from body flex) and improved passenger-side dash support (all other model years break the support bracket causing the dash to sag).

Everything works perfectly on this truck including the rear window (both switch and key), the electronic 4X4 transfer case, the power mirrors, windows and door locks, and the airbag and cruise control.  The tires are brand new 31" BFG All-Terrains (less than 500 miles), the steering linkage is all new, and the front end has been aligned to spec.  The heater core is brand new, and the cooling system was flushed and filled with fresh anti-freeze and has no leaks.  The a/c compressor and accumulator have been replaced with all new valves and o-rings and the system was flushed and filled with new refrigerant and oil.  The fan works perfectly and the a/c blows COLD.  The fuel pump has been replaced as well as the fuel filter.  The muffler has been upgraded to a less-restrictive Flowmaster.  The previous owner told me that the transmission had been replaced recently, and I believe it because it has very positive shifts and doesn't hesitate or slip at all.  The engine starts up easily and runs very well (has very low marks on the smog emission inspection).  This truck came from the factory with remote keyless entry, and this sale includes two complete sets of keys with working remotes.  It also came from the factory with the color-matched running board steps.  The factory automatic hubs have been replaced with quality after-market manual locking hubs (an upgrade to the less-reliable automatic hubs).  This has the factory tow package, which includes a 7-pin trailer plug, heavier springs and quad shocks.  That option requires the heavy-duty cooling package which includes a larger radiator, extra cooling slots in the bumper, an auxiliary transmission cooler, and an oil cooler.

This Bronco has been exclusively owned and operated in the dry climate of Southern California, therefore the body and frame are completely rust-free (as many Broncos are prone to rust).  The paint has been polished and waxed and shines like new!  It has clearly not been abused off-road, since there is no build-up of mud underneath and no damage to the under carriage.  There is one obvious dent in the upper left of the tailgate, but no paint damage.  There is a dent in the front edge of the hood with some paint damage.  The rear bumper is tweaked and appears to have contacted the left rear body panel.  There are other minor blemishes on the body but no significant dents, and no paint repair.  Check the vehicle history, the title is clear and it has not been involved in any accidents.  Non-smoker (I don't smoke, and neither does the truck).

Ford rolls out diesel Focus ST at Goodwood [w/poll]

Sun, 29 Jun 2014

If you're in the market for a hot hatch, there are some excellent choices at your disposal - especially if you live in Europe. But if you want a diesel, well, your choices become rather more limited. Volkswagen tends to that niche market with the Golf GTD (essentially an oil-burning version of the GTI available Stateside), but that's about the extent of it. The pleas of those looking for more diesel-burning hot hatch choices haven't fallen on deaf ears at Ford, with the Blue Oval not only rolling out a facelifted gas-powered Focus ST at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend, but also a new diesel version as well.
The diesel Focus ST (which we hope and pray isn't marketed as the STD) packs a 2.0-liter turbodiesel four producing 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque to propel the oil-burning hot hatch to 62 in 8.1 seconds en route to a top speed of 135 miles per hour. With less power and only slightly more torque, that makes the diesel Focus ST considerably slower than the gasoline one, which packs 252 hp and 270 lb-ft, runs to 62 in 6.5 seconds and tops out at 154 mph, but (in a testament to how far particulate filters have come) the diesel model cuts carbon emissions by nearly a third compared to the petrol version and returns about 50-percent better fuel economy, which makes that much more of a difference in markets where diesel is already priced better than gasoline at the pump.
For buyers who wouldn't consider anything other than a diesel, it also represents 23-percent more power than the previous top-level diesel Focus. The VW Golf GTD, for reference, offers up 181 hp (just 1 horse less), 280 lb-ft (15 fewer torques) but is somehow estimated to reach 60 in a considerably fleeter 7.4 seconds.

Your official Ford Transit specs are here, $29,565* to start

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

Ford has released the full list of pricing and specs on its new Transit, the replacement for the long-lived E-Series cargo van. Prices are set to start at $29,565 and can increase rapidly from there, depending on length, engine and wheelbase, among other options.
Let's talk first about those new engines. The base is the familiar 3.7-liter, naturally aspirated V6. It boasts 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and can return up to 14 miles per gallon in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. This engine can also be adapted to run on LPG or compressed natural gas. Of course, there are better alternatives, for a price, the first of which is Ford's well-received, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. It packs 310 hp and a best-in-class 400 lb-ft of torque (available at just 2,500 rpm) while matching the naturally aspirated engine in both city and highway fuel economy.
Then, there's the diesel. With a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel mill at its disposal, the Transit generates 350 lb-ft between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, along with 185 hp. This engine hasn't been rated by the EPA, although we'd be really, really surprised if it didn't handily best either of the gas-powered engines in fuel efficiency. A six-speed automatic is standard, regardless of engine.
