Please read this entire description before bidding.  I am providing a lot of detail in this description so it is accurately described.  I have already purchased its replacement so there is no reserve.  I need to get it off my insurance policy ASAP.  It will be sold to the highest bidder when this auction closes.  Happy bidding and good luck. 

For sale is my Ford F-150 XLT pick up truck that has an extended cab, 8 foot bed, 2WD, and a rear sliding window.  Less than 25% of all trucks made have any of these options.  Less than 1% have all of them on the same vehicle.  It is very rare. 

It isn't my primary vehicle.  I've always had a pick up as a second vehicle to move the family to the shore on weekends and deliver furniture to and from a local estate auction when I can handle the loading and unloading by myself.  My family has grown and I found a similar truck that has all the same features with the larger size crew cab.  As I show in the pictures, the extended cab has the front seat that is a split 60%/40% bench and the middle can be  tilted down to become an arm rest / cup holder.  The back seats are also a 60%/40% split bench that can be locked in the upright position.  

I purchased it in 2007 with 101,000 miles and I've put almost 43,000 miles on it.  The motor is a Triton 8 cylinder, 4.6 L with strong power.  The prior owner used it as a toy because it had the bed rug and stretch vinyl bed cover on it.  Most of my miles have been from driving family stuff like kids, bikes, strollers, etc.  The light moving was minimal miles and just local deliveries.  The vinyl cover got wind damaged because I didn't secure it for highway driving.  I needed to removed the three bed rug side panels to protect them from rain when I removed the bed cover and frame.  I still have all the sections and will include them in this auction if the winning bidder wants it.  

Mechanically, this is a great truck.  I gave it regular maintenance.  The oil was changed within the last 1,000 miles, I replaced the tires last year and just replaced the breaks and rotors last month.   On the way home from getting the breaks replaced, I got the long scratch / dent over the passenger side rear wheel well.  That is the worst dent / scratch on the truck and was the catalyst to start the search for the replacement.  

Any truck with this many miles has flaws.  Almost all flaws with this truck are cosmetic.  Another words, there are several dings and dents all around this truck.  Most were on the truck when I bought it.  You will see my replacement has several too.  Trucks seem to be cheaper when they have a couple dents.  I have always cared more about the trim package and mechanical reliability.  I've photographed and included the up close shots of the worst ones.  There is also small 3" crack in the windshield caused by a stone that shot up from a vehicle in front of me.  It is not a distraction while driving and has passed inspections.  The plastic end cap that is on top of the gear shifter went missing a couple years ago.  The kids never fessed up how they actually got it off and I never got around to buying another one.  

The ABS light has stayed lit while driving for the past three years  I had the antilock braking system checked back when the light got stuck on.  It works fine and has always past inspection while lit.  I just never wanted to spend big bucks trying to figure out why it stays on.  For some reason the passenger side lock won't go up when you push the power lock button on the drivers side.  Again, not a big deal.  You can see from the pics the interior seats are clean and I have extra mats on the floor.  The stains on the floor are from the kids that spilt soda and drinks.  Giving the carpets a shampoo would remove them if that is important to you.

This truck isn't half way through its life because it has been well maintained and never used hard.  I took a pic of my replacement gold color Ram pick up truck bed cover so you can see the type of vinyl cover frame I have and what it would look like if you decide to purchase a new cover to put over the existing but unattached frame.  Nothing in the picture showing the gold truck is for sale in this auction.  It is included strictly for a visual description only of what the vinyl cover would look like on the truck being sold.

If you have any questions, please ask.  Bid with confidence.  I can't think of anything else to share about it.  Good luck in your bidding.  Someone will get a great deal on a rare XLT, 2WD, 8' long bed with an extended cab that runs great.  Thank you for your interest.

2014 Ford Transit Connect configurator fires up for the whole family

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The second-generation Ford Transit Connect is almost upon us, and to get work- and family-oriented customers ready for the new model, Ford has launched a configurator for both van and wagon versions. Both body styles will go on sale early next year with the base TC Van starting at $22,000, but customers wanting side windows and rear seats will have to pony up at least an extra $3,000 for the TC Wagon.
Ford is definitely looking to get back into the family van business with the 2014 TC Wagon offering three available trim levels, two engines and the choice between five- and seven-passenger seating (with two wheelbases). Like many recent Ford products, a fancy Titanium trim level is offered, and opting for it will cost you - this trim starts at $29,000, and we were able to spec it out with a panoramic roof, tow package and front and rear parking sensors for a little over $33,000.
Businesses looking for a small, fuel-efficient work vehicle now get more options on the TC Van like the choice of split, hinged rear doors or a liftgate (with or without glass), a long wheelbase ($1,000) and Ford's CrewChief vehicle tracking system ($925). Fully loaded, this van is still costs less than the fullsize E-Series. On both Van and Wagon, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine is a $795 option, but it is only offered on short-wheelbase models and Ford has yet to release power or fuel economy specs yet. With the standard 2.5-liter engine, the TC will get up to 21 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.

Shelby GT500 and Roush Stage 3 go head to head at the drag strip

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

The Ford Mustang is a brilliantly affordable source of horsepower, with a base 300-plus-horsepower version available for well under $30,000. Jumping up to about $35,000 will get you a solid 420 horsepower from a high-revving V8, while those with some extra disposable income can get a pair of 600-plus-horsepower monsters. Both the Roush Stage 3 with its Phase 3 package and Ford's factory Shelby GT500 even crest the 650-horsepower mark, with 675 and 662 ponies, respectively.
Naturally, someone needed to find out which of these hi-po Mustangs was the quickest. And while this video is quite obviously a dealership commercial, at least there's some solid drag racing between two of the most powerful performance machines available for under $100,000.
With two NHRA drag racers at the wheel, the Stage 3 and GT500 go head to head for three races. Scroll down below to see the results in the full video.

Honda giving away free Civics in Forza Horizon to celebrate launch

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you'll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you'll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.
Otherwise, the word "Challenge" keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it's not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title "The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon," and meeting the man in person.
Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.
