Ford E350 4x4 Van Sportsmobile on 2040-cars
Mill Valley, California, United States
|
2006 Ford E350 4X4 Van, with a 6.0 liter diesel. I purchased this van just after it was professionally converted to a 4X4. It's a coil over conversion, similar to what Salem Kroger used to do. It's got a Dana 60 front end from a 2008 F350. Procomp suspension with about 6" of lift.
Since purchase, I've invested over $15K in making the van expedition-ready. This includes the camper interior, as well as mechanical upgrades, all of which I have receipts for. Upgrades completed within the last year and a half:
The interior was built for sleeping comfort and gear storage, I left out the stove and sink to have a more open floorplan and for more room for toys. I had an outside kitchen set up that worked for my needs, but the stove/sink cabinet area could be easily added. *this is the dream van, but I now need a daily driver for work, so I'm going back to a Tacoma with pop up camper on the back. *available for local pick up, or could arrange shipping for an additional price. For those curious about the odometer discrepancy, I had this investigated when I bought the van, and there were no signs of rollback, all of the numbers matched. I bought it from Javier, who builds and sells 4X4 vans, and has established a good reputation. He assured me that nothing was tampered with, and my third party inspector backed him up, and also added that the software to rollback a digital odometer costs thousands of dollars and requires extensive knowledge. In short, I don't know where the discrepancy comes from, but the majority of the van build only has about 12K miles on it, and I've invested a lot into making the engine bulletproof and problem-free. All the work is recent, well documented, and done at the best diesel performance shop in northern california. Thanks for looking. |

Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems
Fri, 29 Mar 2013A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.
Wrap up some fun with Ford's commercial vehicle configurator
Tue, 27 Aug 2013Ford has combined multiple steps into one with its commercial vehicle configurator, which allows users to choose, design and place orders for the Transit, Transit Connect, E-Series vans and F-Series Super Duty trucks.
The most interesting part of the new configurator is a fairly robust design tool. Users are able to choose paint color and wrap the vehicle, and then create their own graphics. No materials are needed - Ford provides numerous background textures, text boxes, plenty of shapes and 20 categories of images including floral, construction, plumbing and skylines. Self-created designs or images can be uploaded to the system as well.
We played around with the design tool a bit and uploaded our own image to create the Autoblog Podcast Live van you see here. Feel free to check out the configurator and make your own design.
Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.
