Black Eddie Bauer Ford Excursion on 2040-cars
Nisswa, Minnesota, United States
|
This is an awesome vehicle that I purchased for hunting, fishing and camping. Unfortunately, family and business needs come first and I reluctantly have to part with this rig. I purchased this truck with 150k miles on it and have taken meticulous care of it since. It came with the EGR Delete kit, which is a costly but important modification for this year of the 6.0, and can increase the life of this engine dramatically. It also already had the 4" turbo-back exhaust system and Bullydog cold air intake. I have installed the "blue spring" fuel pressure regulator, which was another issue with these engines that caused them to not get enough fuel when under load. I have a Bullydog Power Pup 10-stage programmer I will also include for the successful bidder. The wheels are 18" Chrome plated and the tires are 325/65 Firestone Destination ATs with decent tread left. This truck is a BRUTE, as illustrated by the heavy duty bumper guard up front, made of 1/4" steel. I recently replaced the front hub assemblies and rotors, ($1800!!!) but otherwise it has been bulletproof. 4x4 works smoothly. The truck was a Florida vehicle until last winter, but even though it is tagged with Minnesota plates, it still has seen very little road salt. It's very clean. I've owned 9 Powerstroke diesels and this is my sixth 6.0. I know how to take care of them and I know their strengths and weaknesses. This is a good one. I would confidently take this truck anywhere. I have another Powerstroke 6.0 pickup that is a "project" truck for me and it doesn't run as smooth as this one, but I need to keep a truck and don't need the SUV. The steering is a little sloppy, as it needs some new rod ends, but it's aligned and doesn't dog track or anything. The front bumper is the only real flaw on the truck, as the passenger side has a little dent on it. If that was replaced, the body would be 99% straight. The interior is worn where it typically is, on the drivers' seat, but otherwise just normal wear and tear. Not a lot of stains, no rips, etc. I will upload better interior pics or email them upon request. I haven't had a chance to get pics during daylight since deciding to sell it. "Subtle" would not be a good word to describe this truck. It's loud and it stands out. My kids named it "Big E" and their class mates think it's "cool". I buy on Ebay, but not sold a lot, so I'm a little out of my comfort zone. I will make one last "road trip" in this rig if you cannot pick this truck up, for a negotiated amount. This is really a special interest vehicle and needs to go to someone that is specifically looking for this special American muscle! |

National Geographic Channel balances Ford F-150 on four coffee mugs
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Proving that there is still something to be learned on television these days, National Geographic Channel recently introduced a new series called Duck Quacks Don't Echo. On the first episode of this science/comedy show, host Michael Ian Black proposes the idea that a truck can be supported with a ceramic coffee mug under each wheel - yes, he says that the entire weight of a truck can be balanced on just four coffee mugs.
Looking to find out whether this is fact or myth, the show uses a regular cab Ford F-150, weighing in at 4,800 pounds, and four average coffee mugs. Lowered onto the mugs, the idea is quickly put to the test. Can the cups hold up under 4,800 pounds? If so, what, exactly, would it take to break them? Scroll down below to find out.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job
Tue, 07 Jan 2014When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.
