This is a 2001 Ford Excursion Limited. 7.3 Diesel, 4x4. It has been the best all around vehicle I have ever owned. Our family is smaller now and she just doesn’t get driven much anymore, so it is time to find her a new home. The trucks condition is good to excellent, but it does have some imperfections as should be expected in a used vehicle. I will try to mention them all and include pictures where I can, but the truck is being sold as-is, so contact me to inspect for yourself before bidding. Hard to find 7.3 Powerstroke Turbo diesel loaded with options: power leather heated driver’s seat manual heated passenger seat power locks/ windows heated power side mirrors separate front and rear climate controls keyless entry Viper alarm tow Package tilt steering front/rear defrost Am / fm / cassette / CD engine hour counter window / vent visors fog lights wheel locks back up sensors locking gas cap hood protector cargo mat and cargo net Interior: The interior is very good with the exception of 2 seat imperfections and some scratches in the cargo area. One seat imperfection is the side of the drivers’ seat and the other is the seat directly behind the driver (pictures included). Exterior: There is some roof rust and fading to the cargo rack, and there is some rust inside the rear driver’s side door. There are also some minor imperfections such as small scratches as well as one small ding that had been touched up at some point (on top of driver’s side fender near hood). Since the last listing I also got a written estimate from Maaco for the 2 rust spots, just email if you'd like to see it. Mechanical: Mechanically the vehicle has been great and has never failed me. There is a problem with the rear drivers’ side tire that the shop just can not get balanced correctly and it will need to be replaced. It is not noticeable when driving until you get to 60 mph. The other tires are in excellent condition with lots of tread left. I have always used rotella oil and have changed it, the oil filter, and the air filter religiously every 5000 miles since purchase. The only non OEM additions I have made to the truck are the Viper alarm, locking gas cap, the floor mats, and the rear cargo mat. The previous owner had installed an engine hour counter that currently shows 5760.7 hours. Truck is still used occasionally and is available for short test drives, so mileage and hours may go up slightly before auction end. Feel free to contact me with questions. Buyer will be responsible for any shipping of vehicle. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the vehicle is also listed for sale locally. Please contact me before bidding if you have less than 10 feedback. To narrow it down to only serious bidders, a deposit of $500 is required via Paypal within 24 hours of auction end.

Again? Ford issues second 2015 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ seat belt recall

Fri, Aug 16 2019

In 2016, Ford issued a recall for 603,392 2013-2016 Fusions and 2013-2015 Lincoln MKZs due to potentially faulty seat belts. Apparently, that wasn't the end of it. Ford announced another recall this week for the same issue, this time covering 108,399 2015 Fusions and MKZs. In both cases, the seat belt anchor pretensioners are the issue. According to Ford, "increased temperatures generated during deployment of the driver or front-passenger seat belt anchor pretensioner could degrade the tensile strength of the cable below the level needed to restrain an occupant." Basically, heat could weaken the seat belts, and in extreme cases, they wouldn't be able to keep up proper safety standards. Ford knows of at least one injury that has occurred due to this issue. The recall includes 103,374 vehicles in the United States, 4,002 in Canada, and 1,023 in Mexico. Possibly affected Fusions were built at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant between August 1, 2014 and January 30, 2015. The MKZs were built at the Hermosillo Assembly Plant between August 1, 2014 and November 21, 2014. As a fix, Ford says dealers will add an extra coating to the seat belt pretensioner cable for protection from the heat. If this recall might affect your vehicle, call your local Ford dealership and use recall reference No. 19S25. This news comes after Ford recalled 1.3 million Fusions and MKZs in 2018 due to the possibility that the steering wheels could fall off. Fusions have also been recalled due to the risk of rolling away.

Crushing 1984 Ford Ranger to make a point about clean cars

Fri, May 29 2015

Being a professional politician is often about more than just getting legislation passed, and a little showmanship can go a long way towards getting a point across. California State Senate leader Kevin de Leon recently staged just such a flashy stunt when he crushed a 1984 Ford Ranger at a rally kicking off an EV incentives pilot program. De Leon sponsored a bill last year that, in part, tried to give greater support to low-income buyers who wanted to trade in their old clunker for a zero-emissions vehicle. He hoped to improve the state's Clean Vehicle Rebate Project, which has been accused of especially helping the wealthy. After watching their Ranger get destroyed at this event, the Mendoza family that owned the truck drove away in a 2013 Toyota Prius, according to the Sacramento Business Journal. Under the pilot program, buyers in two air districts in the Golden State can take advantage of these incentives. Depending on their income and the vehicle they are purchasing, people can get a rebate of between $1,500 and $9,500, according to the Sacramento Business Journal. For now, the California Air Resources Board has set aside $5 million from the state's cap-and-trade program to fund things in these areas. Later, it will vote whether to adopt the initiative statewide. Not to be outdone, Arnold Schwarzenegger has thrown his prodigious muscle behind this program, and he put out an even more explosive video showing how to get rid of these old vehicles.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
