This truck had been a dependable daily driver locally and on frequent trips to Georgia up until it was no longer needed in June 2012. It hasn't been driven regularly since then. I bought the truck used eleven years ago. The radio, A/C and heater work good. The doors glass and rear window sliding glass work fine. The tires are larger than stock 31 x 10.50 R15 LT BF Goodrich Radial Long Trails, and they have plenty of miles left on them. The spare tire is a never used LT235/75R15. The engine has a lot of miles on it but doesn't smoke or use an excessive amount of oil. The transmission has been serviced regularly over the years. This is an old truck that's starting to show it's age, though, so it's being sold as is. The tail gate is from an F-350 XLT that had the trim removed, which is why there are mounting holes visible. There's a little rust over each rear quarter panel wheel well, and on the driver's side front quarter panel behind the tire. Both front headlight assemblies collect condensation inside, but it doesn't affect operation. The rear brakes and wheel cylinders were replaced a month ago. This week the A/C was serviced, the oil and filter were changed, the tires were rotated, and the two-year emissions inspection and the one-year safety inspection (Virginia) were successfully renewed. 


I intend to post and answer all questions about this truck. 

(Update: I added a picture of the bed.)

(Update 2: There's mention in the vehicle check report about a duplicate title and a lien. I don't know what occurred before I bought the truck, but I have a clear title issued in 2004 that indicates no liens. There's also mention about the emissions inspection. I have the Mar 17, 2013 two-year pass certificate and it's loaded electronically in the state system, though it may have been too recent to appear on the vehicle check report. I can provide e-mailed scans of both the title and emissions paperwork, though for identity protection reasons, some personal information would be blacked out.)

Ford Australia launches Falcon GT F 351, last of its line [w/video]

Sun, 15 Jun 2014

It's always best to go out with a bang rather than a whimper, and Ford Performance Vehicles is doing just that in Australia with the Falcon GT F 351. It's the most powerful road car the Aussie performance brand has ever made with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 pumping out 471 horsepower (351 kilowatts) and 420 pound-feet of torque. It's joined by the FPV Pursuit Ute with the same powerplant tuned to 422 hp and 402 lb-ft. Sadly, the last F in this Falcon's name stands for Final.
The GT F 351 is a monumental way to go out, though. It harkens back to the old days of Aussie muscle Fords, and the 351kw output is meant to reference the classic Falcon GT and its 351-cubic-inch V8. In addition to the massive power, the F has the improved suspension from the R-Spec model and Brembo brake calipers.
FPV is building just 500 GT F sedans for Australia and 50 more for New Zealand, plus 120 Pursuit Utes. They feature a blacked-out hood and black stripes over the hood and sides, plus gloss black accents around the headlights, door handles and mirrors.

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

2012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:

Ford celebrating 80 years of Aussie utes as it prepares to shutter Oz manufacturing

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Ford is ending Australian production after 90 years in 2016, and with it may go perhaps the most iconic vehicles in its auto market - the ute. Car-based pickup trucks like the Ford Ranchero and Chevrolet El Camino were always more of a curiosity than a true market force here, but in Australia, they have long proven hugely popular.
As the legend goes, Ford invented the niche after a farmer's wife had asked Ford Australia's managing director for a more utilitarian car. Her request was simple: "My husband and I can't afford a car and a truck but we need a car to go to church on Sunday and a truck to take the pigs to market on Monday. Can you help?"
Ford's design team came up with a two-passenger, enclosed, steel coupe body with glass windows and a steel-paneled, wooden-frame load area in the rear. The sides of the bed were blended into the body to make it look more unified, and to keep costs down, the front end and interior were based on the Ford Model 40 five-window coupe. Power came from a V8 with shifting chores handled by a three-speed manual. Within a year, the new vehicle was ready, and production began in 1934. Lead designer Lewis Bandt christened it the coupe-utility.
