2004 Ford Explorer Limited Sport Utility 4-door 4.6l 4 Wheel Drive on 2040-cars
Burlington, Wisconsin, United States
| Up for your consideration is our Explorer Limited 4x4. The reason for sale is we just purchased a new vehicle. I bought the truck in March of 2011 with 135k miles on it. It came from Ohio and already had some corrosion in the same places I have mentioned in the condition section. When I bought it, I had the following items replaced as they were worn or it was past due. Double platinum spark plugs, serpentine belt, both front wheel hub assemblies, rear ABS sensor, front lower ball joints, rear pinion seal, pressure transducer switch. At 140k, I had to replace the alternator. The OEM aluminum clad with chrome rims were peeling and looked awful to me. At 151k miles, I replaced the rims, tires and rear spring / shock assemblies. At 158k miles, the battery was repaced. All oil changes since I have owned the vehicle have been done with full synthetic oil. Interior is nice. Everything on the vehicle works, but I will list what I see as the negatives as I do not want you to have any surprises like I had when I had to purchase all the things above right away after having a safety check performed. The driver side speaker does not seem to be correct. It will come and go at times volume wise. Not sure if it is a connection at the speaker or radio, but it was not enough of a nuisance for me to pursue. When I had the rims replaced, the Ford dealer moved the air pressure switches from the old rims to the new rims. One of those must have been damaged because on most trips, the check air pressure message comes on even though the tires are at the correct pressure. It was not worth it to me to pursue a fix. There are some areas on the exterior where it looked like the paint was buffed or rubbed too hard with something, leaving some slight scuffs or color difference in the white. There are places where little chips were touched up. Being pretty picky here, but again I do not want to paint a different picture than what it is. Overall, a very nice and dependable truck for us with all the updates I put in. I did not spend the money for a porter, but the car was washed weekly and kept in my garage since the day we purchased. We were able to seat us and 5 kids with the third row seat. I have included a picture of the window sticker so you can see all the options, easier than listing them all out. Extras include the tinted bug shield and window vents. Good luck bidding! |

Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
Autoblog Minute: New car customer satisfaction down according to latest ACSI report
Wed, Sep 9 2015Customers have spoken and automobile satisfaction is down in 2015. Autoblog's Chris McGraw reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Customers have spoken and automobile satisfaction is down in 2015. I'm Chris McGraw and this is your Autoblog Minute. The American Customer Satisfaction Index or ACSI released its updated numbers and according to the survey, new car buyer satisfaction is down for the third straight year. According to an ACSI press release, customer satisfaction with new automobiles has fallen 3.7 percent, to 79 on its 100-point scale. The ACSI report is based on over 4,100 customer surveys collected in the second quarter of 2015 Sitting at the top of the industry in customer satisfaction is Toyota's Lexus brand with a score of 84. Which was good enough to dethrone Mercedes-Benz, which fell 3% to a score of 83. Of the Big Three, Ford was the only domestic automaker to maintain overall customer satisfaction with its score of 81. General Motors slipped 3% to 79 and Fiat Chrysler had a 5% drop, registering a score of 75 out the possible 100. What's driving this trend of customer dissatisfaction? ASCI points to the rise in recalls and car prices. Where do you land on customer satisfaction spectrum? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts on the current state of car ownership and brand quality. For Autoblog, I'm Chris McGraw.

China takes lead as GM's No. 1 market
Tue, 09 Jul 2013It's happened. General Motors' biggest vehicle market - at least in terms of new model sales - is China. According to TheDetroitBureau.com, GM and its various Chinese joint venture operations enjoyed a 10.6-percent sales increase in the first half of 2013, selling almost 1.6 million units in the market. That puts GM China about 200,000 units ahead of its US sales totals over the same period - this, despite indicators that the communist nation's economy is losing momentum.
TDB notes that like GM, rival Ford has also enjoyed a robust 2013 in China thus far, with its sales up a whopping 47 percent to 407,721 units sold - 75,254 of them in June alone. Between the two US automakers, passenger car sales for the first half of 2013 are up around 14 percent, well ahead of the rest of the industry's 10-percent growth estimates for the market. Some of the sales growth may come as a result of an overall anti-Japan sentiment in China, though the American brands have long outsold their Japanese counterparts in the country.
By The General's own predictions, China will only continue to grow in sales importance. The company has designs on selling over five million cars a year in the market before the end of the decade, a total that figures to dramatically widen the gap versus its US totals - even if America's auto market makes a full recovery to the the salad days of over 17-million units a year.
