You may have noticed the truck is relisted. This is because the other buyer was not able to work out everything as far as crossing the border/ customs to Canada. He thought about driving it back but had trouble completing the passport application process so we made a mutual decision to move on.
No trades.

I bought this truck when it had about 7500 miles on it. It has never been wrecked. I am selling it only because of job commute and because of the snow here, I decided to just keep my AWD vehicle and sell this one.  Only about 6000 miles since engine rebuild and there is NOTHING wrong with the motor at all.  It is basically new. As you can see in pics, I took excellent care of it and did not drive it much at all except for short mileage commutes to work and the like which is why the mileage is so low. Always garage kept and only sat outside when I was at work and even then that was in the shade far away from other cars. When it arrives at your home, I think you'll freak at just how good the paint and body look.  Truck got a few rock chips on the front edge of the hood but I touched those up with correct color code paint. Only noticeable when really close up to the truck.

This truck is in exceptional condition.
Exhaust is designed to have the four primary tubes slip into collectors. The top inside primary does not seal very well so there is an exhaust leak that you can hear at start up and at certain rpms. It was tack welded but the weld broke so you could tack it again. If my plan were to keep the truck, I'd have probably just had the header welded together as a solid unit.

This truck does not throw any check engine lights or codes. In my county, I could have two "not ready" codes. This truck will read "not ready" for the egr and the evap system when doing an obd II test.  Both systems are intact and complete on the truck. They needed to adjusted on the tune so as to read "ready" but I never got around to it and it did not matter for my county. Again, no codes/check engine lights come up at all. It just reads not ready when you plug into the obdII port. So keep in mind that you will need to have a tune adjustment if your county/state allows only one not ready code.  But then again, it is recommended that you dyno tune and adjust your tune anyway for your specific altitude to get the air/fuels right anyway.  The truck usually starts up on the first turn of the key but about 1/4 of the time the engine might turn over for 2 or 3 extra seconds before starting . It was not a big deal so I never worried about it but that can be tuned out if you are extremely particular. I was told that adjusting the crank pulse width on the tune would solve that.

Front tires have full tread on the outside but have some wear on the inside one to two inch area where it came out of alignment. I do not think you will have any problem on this and the safety guy passed me with no questions (and I did not even know him).  Truck was, of course, re-aligned after I noticed it had come out back then. Then for good measure I aligned the truck again on June 26th 2014 before I posted the truck on eBay.

The rear tires are down to the wear indicator bars though and will definitely need to be replaced when you have it inspected. I thought about replacing them but decided not to and to let the buyer decide what tires they wanted in the back (i.e. drag radials or street tires). Just know that they will have to be replaced. Currently the tires are Nitto 555's.
This truck has no spare tire provisions. 4inch sail panel that covers the lock mechanism of the tailgate from the inside is not there, but that is covered up by the bed-rug.
The cruise control button doesn't work. I'm sure it's probably just a switch and a simple fix but I never drove far enough to care. It does have the FoMoCo cruise control harness upgrade that the dealership installed though.
Occasionally the digital odometer/tripometer display will go blank but it always comes back on after a few starts or randomly while driving if it does this.

Brand new items include the rear brake pads, windshield, AEM wideband kit, and battery.

I will help you find shipping options. I have a good friend who ships cars all the time and he knows some of the best places to look already.  I will give you 5 shipping quotes that you can choose from to help out and they will ship from my garage to yours. Of course, buyer is covering the shipping but I will get you the best prices possible.

Again, no trades. I am not interested in trades.
Current mileage is 71,969 but it may be driven slightly.

New Ford dedicated hybrid due in 2018, will it fare better than C-Max?

Fri, Aug 22 2014

Everyone likes to go after the champ. When it comes to fuel economy, that means taking on the Prius, which is something that automakers not named Toyota have been trying to do for years. Just because no one has been able to beat the Prius for fuel economy numbers isn't stopping them from trying. Hyundai was just caught with a potential Prius-fighter and now we have news that Ford is joining the party. Well, is going to join again. The last time Ford said it was going to challenge the Prius, it didn't go quite as planned. The C-Max hybrid was heavily hyped as a Prius-beater and was originally rated at 47 miles per gallon. Of course, it later needed to be recalculated to just 40 mpg and sales tanked. So, it's back to the Blue Oval drawing board, according to Automotive News, which is reporting that Ford is readying a brand new gas-electric hybrid due in 2018 as a 2019 model year vehicle. A plug-in version is in the works, too, and the car will reportedly share a platform with the upcoming next-gen Focus and Escape models. About those C-Max sales. They have not been stellar for the C-Max hybrid, which started strong but suffered when the reality of the lower fuel economy was realized. So far in 2014 (through the end of July), Ford has sold 11,685 gas-electric models and another 4,759 plug-in Energi versions. The trend for the standard C-Max is downward (from 20,125 during the same time frame in 2013) and upward for the plug-in version (2,915 in the first seven months of 2013).

The 11 best scenes from the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed

Tue, Jun 30 2015

Over the last three days, the Goodwood Estate has played home to the eponymous Festival of Speed. Thrown by the biggest gearhead in the British aristocracy – Charles Gordon-Lennox, the Earl of March and Kinrara – the Festival of Speed is essentially a tremendous, gasoline-fuelled party, complete with a very large lawn sculpture, that features the world's hottest, weirdest, fastest, and loudest race, production, and historic models. While there are quite literally dozens and dozens of videos from the event – not to mention the full-day replays (of which only day one is available, at present) – we've sifted through them to pluck away the very best. There's stuff from the official Goodwood YouTube channel, as well as several videos from automakers and other third-party channels, and it's all available below. 2015 Ford Mustang GT350R Looks Barely Controllable If you thought the highest-performance Ford Mustang would somehow get more tractable or civilized once it moved to an independent rear suspension, this video shows you have nothing to worry about. Watch as an unnamed driver wrestles the new Shelby GT350R and its flat-plane, 5.2-liter V8 up the hillclimb circuit. Even with the new suspension and sticky tires, this Mustang wants to go any direction but straight, especially following its launch. 2016 Ford Focus RS, Is Very Loud, Blue Ken Block makes his first appearance on our list. Before he steps into his Hoonicorn Mustang, though, the Gymkhana expert tackled the hill in the all-new Focus RS. The vicious bellow of the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is the star of this commentary-free video, although the gorgeous Nitrous Blue paint job is a nice accompaniment, as well. 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn Runs Hill, Nearly Kills Lord March Mr. Block's two runs behind the wheel of the Hoonicorn were, unsurprisingly, very eventful. While one attempt goes off without a hitch, seeing the American rally driver slip and slide his way to the top of the hill while taking a short break for a donut, the other is slightly more dramatic. Block, along with Lord March in the passenger seat, carries a bit too aggressive an angle into a turn and nearly puts the NASCAR-powered Mustang into the hay bales. Check out the first video above, and the second one below. Kimi Raikkonen Makes Us Miss F1's V8 Era The latest Formula One cars have been maligned for the lackluster noise produced by the new 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6.
