For sale is our 2003 Expedition XLT 4X4.  We purchased this vehicle 5 years ago from our neighbor who used it to commute about 70 miles round trip daily for work.  She took great care of it. That's why it has high mileage.  The reason we are selling it is because our kids are off to college and we downsized to an  Escape.  This vehicle is in very good condition and has always been maintained and garaged.  The transmission has been flushed and maintained regularly and it shifts and runs out flawlessly.  All the coil on plug ignition coils have been replaced since we purchased the vehicle and it runs great and used no oil.  It has no leaks.  We had a 3"/2" Ready Lift leveling kit professionally installed.  This style lift has no negative affect on the ride or tire geometry.  It only levels it and lifts it a couple inches.  It looks much better and gives it a more aggressive stance.  We also installed Ford OEM 20" wheels and new 305/60R20 Goodyear Wrangler tires.  You may also notice that we removed the OEM running boards.  We still have them and they're in great shape.  We just liked the look better without them.  I have one picture on here with them still installed so you can see what they looked like.  They go with the vehicle or we can put them back on for you if you like.  Everything works on this vehicle.  It rides and drives like new. The A/C is cold and the forward and rear A/C controls all work.  This is the first year of the fold away rear seats and they are much nicer than those on the 97-2002 Expedition.  Plus the extra legroom in the third row make its very comfortable for adults.  My boys are 6'3" and 6'5" and they fit back there fine.  It's also a split rear seat so cargo/people carrying is very flexible.  We had the 10" DVD system professionally installed and there are 3 sets of wireless headphones.  We installed a performance muffler because I like a little exhaust rumble.  It sound great outside but has no annoying drone inside.  It has a brake controller because our neighbor occasionally pulled a pop up camper.  It has the factory tow package and 3.73 gear ratio.  It has the keyless entry key pad which is very convenient.  We have all the original manuals and key fobs and we have all weather Husky floor liners for the first two rows of seats. 

The only issues it has are cosmetic.  The very front of the hood has a small dent in it from hitting a turkey buzzard on the highway.  Instead of getting it fixed and trying to match the paint, I installed the bug deflector to conceal it.  I have a pic showing this.  The other thing is the rear hatch.  You can see from the picture of the back of the vehicle some paint bubbling.  This is NOT rust because the back hatch on these is aluminum so it can't rust.  It was a paint defect from the factory that many of these vehicles have.  It's been that way since we've had it and, again, I chose not to do anything with it because it would be hard to match the paint and it's not hurting anything as is.

Don't let the mileage worry you.  Our last Expy was a 1997 and it had 220,000 miles on it when we sold it.  It's still on the road with the man we sold it to years ago with the same engine and transmission.  This was our family vehicle up until we got the Escape.  It's road ready and can be taken anywhere any time without worry.  I'm a fanatic when it comes to taking care of my stuff.  In fact, I drive my family crazy because I'm so picky with my vehicles.  It's not a new vehicle but it's very nice inside and out for its age.  Contact me if you have any other questions.

GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups

Wed, 19 Feb 2014

Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.

How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.
