This is my ONE owner Excursion with less than 80k miles.  I purchased it in Alabama and have lived here the entire time.  Everything works as it should, nothing needs to be fixed.  Rear passenger brake caliper has slow seep from banjo bolt.  Recent 2500 mile trip resulted in loss of a couple ounces tops.  Haven't bothered doing anything to it.  No leaks elsewhere.

This vehicle has been well maintained.  Oil changes every 2500-3500 miles with Motorcraft 5w-20.  All other fluids have been changed at least once.  New fuel filter twice.  New Battery in 2013.  The rear expansion valve was replaced in early 2012 and AC system was recharged.  Both front and rear systems work perfectly.  Brakes have never been changed and probably could be but they stop well and make no noise at this moment.  The truck was lifted in 2004 and 35s were installed.  The rear end was changed in 2009 from 3.73s to 4.56s.  Mileage dropped a little but acceleration improved and made it more fun to drive.  Gears were broken in for 500 miles and the fluid was changed and tolerances checked.  No noise nor problems.  I had a flat tire and changed the rears to used 37s, but the front are still 35s.  It is 2WD so tire difference is not an issue.  Then I got new tires all around, still 35s in front and 37s in rear.  37s will not clear in front without cutting or more lift.  Tires have less than 10k miles.

Truck has a 5gal air tank, pump and Triple Horn Train Horns.  Horn is switched with stock horn operated by OEM horn switch.  OEM radio has been removed and everything upgraded.  Polk separates and an Orion (old school) sub installed.  The HCCA amp got tired and an Alpine was installed but the Orion SX still powers the rest of speakers.  In dash DVD  with rear AV IN/out is also installed for Game Systems or more Monitors.  It also has a 400W inverter installed near amps for power to monitors and game systems.

I changed all 10 plugs and boots before it hit 70k.  Didn't change COPs but rotated the back 2 as they see more heat and fail first.  Might help prevent that issue.

Truck was involved in a minor crash on April Fools day (in 2005 I think) where someone idles into the rear bumper.  Damage was less than $500 and it was never repaired.  Can barely see little dent in drivers rear bumper near reverse sensor.  No other accidents.  All reverse sensors work and has receiver installed as all of them do.  I have a hitch mounted spare carrier and a spare 35" tire.  I have a couple spare 37s if wanted as well, no extra rims.  One rim has damage from the flat but is only cosmetic.  A run away shopping cart or something hit passenger door.  No abrasion to paint but has a small dent/imperfection.  Has only one door ding as it is never parked near other vehicles without taking 2 spots.  Ding is standard door ding and located near fuel fill door.  It has a Flowmaster Super 40 single in dual out muffler with dual 5" tips.  Carpet has always been covered with mats and is close to new.  No mods to engine or trans.  Most of the standard black plastic has been covered with Line X.  Running boards, grill guard, lower front valance, rear lift glass plastic and wiper, rear plastic bumper cover.  It could use a refresh as is not perfect, but better than grey.  Windows tinted all around.

I might have forgotten something but listed all the bad. Truck gets driven rarely so mileage will increase.  I use it mainly as a travel vehicle and will drive it anywhere without worry.  In 2013 we drove it to SD twice and to FL once.  Can help with delivery for price of gas and return flight if needed.  Excursion gets a consistent 10-11 mpg in the city and 12-14 on the road.  You may get a little better on the road as I always set cruise at 9 over.  Was forced to do 60mph for about 100 miles and it returned almost 16mpgs.  I can take any pics you need, just ask.  I might have left something out so ask away.

Ford taps Canada-based Multimatic to build carbon fiber Ford GT

Mon, Feb 16 2015

Ford has given Canadian firm Multimatic the nod to build the carbon fiber body on the new GT – The Blue Oval says it has worked with this company for 30 years. The global supplier provides parts and engineering to various automakers, and while based in Markham, Ontario it has 12 plants in Canada, the US, Mexico, England, and China. When announcing the decision at the Canadian International Auto Show, Ford says it chose them "because they have specialized equipment for carbon fiber production and expertise in carbon fiber assembly," and we've heard that the 600-horsepower coupe will be produced in a purpose-built facility at Ford's factory in Markham. Even better than that – for GT purposes and for possible hints at a Le Mans run – the Multimatic Motorsports division can be contracted for engineering and race team management. They currently produce the Boss 302R racecar in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, worked on the FR500C, and their Multimatic Motorsports Lola B2K/40 won its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2000. The first models will roll off the line at the end of next year. Production numbers are rumored to be in the low hundreds, with a six-figure price tag around $200,000. They'll go into production in time for some sort of 50th anniversary celebration of the GT40 taking the the top three spots at Le Mans in 1966.

This 2,000-hp Mustang is in serious need of wheelie bars

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

The Ford Mustang on the right is drag racing with the standard technique. The Mustang on the left, driven by David Measell, is using a new "rear bumper only" technique that evidently surprised everyone at the South Georgia Motorsports Park strip - including Measell.
Measell said his outfit just bought the car the week before the event, noting that it has more than 2,000 horsepower. Speaking of his "flying" run, Measell said, "We turned it up to dip on down," by which he meant they turned up the power in order to get his time down. Turns out all that power and all that traction sent the nose straight up into the air almost as soon as the race began.
He told an interviewer afterward that this was his first race in a "regular car" since he normally drives a pro-mod. "I like my wheelie bars," he concluded. You can see how he got there in the video below.

Honda poised for growth, Detroit to hold steady, Car Wars study says

Fri, Jun 5 2015

The automotive industry is expected to keep booming in the US over the next several years, but the train might start running out of steam in the long term, according to 2015's Car Wars report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy. The forecast focuses on changes between the 2016 and 2019 model years, and the latest trends appear similar in some cases to the past predictions. Sales are expected to keep growing and reach a peak of 20 million in 2018, according to the Detroit Free Press. The expansion is projected to come from a quick pace of vehicle launches, with an average of 48 introductions a year – 26 percent more than in 1996. Crossovers are expected to make up a third of these, maintaining their strong popularity. However, Murphy predicts a decline, as well. By 2025, total sales could fall to around 15 million units. As of May 2015, the seasonally adjusted annual rate for this year stands at 17.71 million. Like last year, Honda is predicted to be a big winner in the future thanks to products like the next-gen Civic. "Honda should be the biggest market share gainer," Murphy said when presenting the report, according to Free Press. Meanwhile, in a situation similar to Car Wars from 2012, a lack of many new vehicles is expected to cause a drop for Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan. Based on this forecast, Ford, General Motors, and FCA US will all generally maintain market share for the coming years. The report does make some future product predictions, though. The next Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra might come in 2019, which is earlier than expected. Also, Lincoln could get a Mustang-based coupe for 2017, a compact sedan for 2018 and an Explorer-based model in 2019, according to the Free Press.
