 2001 Ford Excursion turbo diesel 4x4 - clean title - non smoker car

Rare excursion model - seats 9, three rows of cloth seats and has the turbo diesel motor and 4x4. Never seen another one like it. I searched for months for this vehicle and finally found it on Ebay. I purchased this Excursion from Ebay in 2006 with 117,000 miles, flew out to Texas and drove it back to California. Has never given me any problems and has received routine maintenance that I did myself. I don't trust other shops, I wanted to see the exact oil going into my engine.

7.3 powerstroke turbo diesel with 215,700 miles - only full synthetic oil used, very heavy duty Ranch Hand front bumper
Rebuilt automatic transmission with 2,000 miles, transmission upgraded with billet torque converter, heavy duty bands, and shift kit, new rear main seal - wasn't leaking but while the transmission was out - why not put a new one in, Slotted brake rotors and brake pads have a lot of life left. Tow package and electric brake controller, XLT model with gray cloth seats with no rips or tears, interior is in excellent shape,  hexo floor mats on all the rows and a rear cargo mat since I've owned the car to protect the carpet, carpet is stain free and in great shape, original floor mats under hexo mats, power windows, a/c works, heater, cd and tape deck, cold air intake with cleanable aem pro 7 filter and a aem pro dry filter so you can have one clean while cleaning the other, fuel injection wire harness was replaced at 204,000 miles along with the glow plugs, water pump/thermostat was replaced at 190,000 miles, Goodyear Duratrac E rated tires with 3/4 tread, aftermarket 17" wheels, four wheel drive works great, I switched out the factory vacuum hubs for Warn manual hubs that always work when you need them to. Only issue with car is the interior lights don't turn on when you open the doors, the interior lights work but not automatically when you open a door, just never got around to checking into it. Small scrape/dent on passenger side front fender, 2 small dings on front edge of the passenger side front door. Rear door hatch lock is getting weak because it sometimes locks and sometimes doesn't, Steering is a little loose but I'm sure good for a 215,000 mile car, small chips on hood, these things you can see in the pictures, Will be sad to see it go - any questions feel free to ask - I have bought a lot of cars from Ebay and that is why I have told you every little thing about the car. Car has original owners manual and haynes manual, when I bought the car I was given one key and key fob remote, I purchased another key and key fob remote but never programmed the remote.

Ford F-150 bumps Camry from top of Cars.com American Made Index

Tue, 25 Jun 2013

With July 4th just around the corner, what better time could there be for Cars.com to announce that the Ford F-150 is the Most American car of 2013? This may be especially true since it was the Toyota Camry, a car produced by a company based in Japan, that had held the top spot from 2009 to 2012.
Cars.com compiles its Most American list by considering the amount of parts each vehicle uses that come from America, where it's final assembly takes place and how many units per year are sold. "While the assembly point and domestic parts content of the F-150 didn't change from 2012-2013, vehicle sales are responsible for bumping the F-150 to the top spot," according to Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com.
As far as automakers go (as opposed to individual models), Toyota retains the top spot it held in 2012, with General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Honda (in that order) rounding out the list. The motivation behind this list each year, according to Olsen, is "to help car shoppers understand that 'American-Made' extends beyond just the Detroit three" and because "a study we conducted in 2012 indicated that 25 percent of shoppers surveyed preferred to buy American."

2015 Ford Mustang GT road test ride-along

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

You've no doubt already pored over our first drive of the 2015 Ford Mustang, where author Jonathon Ramsey proclaimed that "this new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment." And following Ramsey's first stint behind the wheel of Ford's new coupe, we sent him back out with another 'Stang to capture some of these same impressions over a backdrop of the car moving quickly along gorgeous California canyon roads.
But this also gave our author and editors time to read through the hundreds of comments left on that original Mustang review. You readers are indeed a vocal bunch, and one particular comment about how the automotive media is so willing to bash an outgoing car as soon as the new one arrives really caught our attention. In this video, Ramsey stands by his written text, saying the new Mustang is "massively better than the one it replaces," and in doing so, addresses your comments while providing more insight into just how good the Ford truly is.
We won't spoil the rest for you. Check out the feature video above, and as always, leave us your thoughts in the Comments section below.
