Up for bid is a two owner,109,000 mile, 2003 Ford Explorer XLS, 4.0 V6 engine with automatic/overdrive transmission.  It is 4 wheel drive, has P/W, P/S, P/B, and P/Locks.  This Explorer runs and drives extremely well and has had the oil changed every 5,000 miles.  The transmission was rebuilt at approx. 75,000 miles, and in the recent year has had a new battery, alternator, tune-up, ball joints and rear brakes.  The front brakes and rotors were replaced 2 weeks ago.  It has four excellent Michelin tires.  The interior is very nice.

We had planned to keep this car for the next several years, however, last week, we pulled out of a gas station and struck a concrete divider.  It will need a passenger door (local wrecking yards are charging $250.-$400. for a door, even some white ones are available).  The bottom of the front fender as well as the rear door has some very minor damage.  There is no damage to the rocker panel.  Before this incident, it had never been in an accident.  We did not have collision insurance on the car.

We have decided to buy a new car, and sell this Explorer without repair.  Therefore, it is being sold as-is, without a Maryland state inspection.  It has a clear Maryland title (not salvage).  The Sirius radio receiver shown in the pictures is not included in this sale.  A $500. deposit is required within 48 hours of auction end.  Transportation costs to be paid by buyer.  Full payment within 7 days of auction close.  If you have questions, please ask! Checks will be held the customary time for clearence.  The car and title will not be released until funds clear my bank.  Cash will immediately release car.

TRANSLOGIC 147: CES 2014 Autonomous Vehicles

Wed, Jan 15 2014

We head back to CES in Las Vegas to check on the progress of autonomous vehicles in 2014. We go hands-free on the highway with Audi, narrowly avoid a collision with Ford and hear all about BMW's drifting driverless car. But first we take a ride on Induct's self-driving Navia shuttle.

Ford readying Ranger-based Everest SUV?

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Way back in August, we showed you a Ford concept for the Australian market called the Everest. Now, we can show you that work on the new Ranger-based SUV is well under way.
At this stage, it's still quite clearly a mule (note the misalignment of the front and rear doors), wearing the Ranger's front end and the rump of Ford's overseas Territory crossover. The wheelbase is shorter than a Ranger, according to our spy photographers, which strikes us as somewhat odd for a more passenger-oriented vehicle. Disc brakes should be fitted at all four corners, while the new SUV, which will almost certainly wear the Everest name, should sport a new rear suspension.
In terms of looks, we're expecting the Everest Concept to inform the appearance of the production model. Naturally, there will also be some interior tweaks, particularly around the dashboard, which is covered in these photos.
