First things first I want everyone to be aware of two very important things. 1. This truck is in need of transmission work (read description) 2. This is a true NO RESERVE auction (no fake bids and no games on my end, next Thursday April 18th the high bidder will own it!)


This is a 1996 F250 4X4 7.3 Powerstroke truck for someone that wants a good work truck for a great price. Motor starts up very nice, strong batteries and glow plugs, no heavy smoke or blow by. Once in every 5 turns the starter won't engage, but let is stop and hit it again it will will crank just fine. The transmission will move the truck around in reverse and forward only when it is cold (actually shifts through the gears just fine) but when the fluid gets a bit warm it will stop moving, turn the engine off and put it in gear and it will drive for a few feet again. I'm not sure if it needs a torque converter, transmission pump or just a full out rebuild, either way this is exactly as you will buy it. It will need towed or to be put on a trailer to get it home. Also the left rear leaf spring shackle is rusted through. I am unaware of the condition of any of the brakes, ball joints, tie rods, and the truck has not been checked out or serviced and the PA inspection has just expired. The frame is fairly clean and solid, see pictures. Tires are 50% or so, no major leaks.

Cosmetically it's as you would expect for a Pennsylvania born and raised 17 year old Ford. Rust spots starting in all the usual spots, both bed sides, both extended cab bottoms, both front fender bottoms, tailgate. Not falling apart but she has her fair share of corrosion. No major dents or damage other than the rust, but it is a little faded. It is missing an F250 molding on the one side and some center caps, like I said it's a great work truck. Interior is all there and pretty decent. No major rips or tears, all glass is nice, no bad smells inside either. It could use a clean up.

Here is your chance to get into one of these classic 7.3's for cheap money, I'm letting it rip because I need it off my books next week so if you are a buyer please put your bids in with the intention of owning her, it's a true no reserve guys, don't email me later crying cause someone out bid you for $.01, get your bid in high as you can spend and hopefully you'll get it cheap. Good luck. For all serious questions or concerns or if you want to come take a look at it feel free to give me a call, my name is Zach 717-361-6650. It is being sold by Platinum Car and Truck Sales, LLC in Elizabethtown, PA, it will be sold AS-IS and all proper disclosers will be made in writing at the time of delivery.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

Ford Tourneo ready for duty in Connect, Courier and Custom flavors [w/videos]

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Ford was relatively quiet at the Geneva Motor Show, but it did take the opportunity to roll out its new family of Tourneo vans: the Courier, Connect, Grand Connect and Custom. As the passenger version of the Transit cargo vans, the new range of Tourneo models vary from the B-segment Courier up to the fullsize Custom. The Connect and Grand Connect are based on the redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect.
With an overall length just three inches longer than the Fiesta hatchback, the Tourneo Courier seats four to five passengers, and it offers a choice of three engines: the 1.0-liter EcoBoost or two small diesels. Like the 2014 Transit Connect was saw in Paris last year, the Tourneo Connect comes in a five-seat configuration while the Grand Connect can seat seven. Finally, the Tourneo Custom seats up to nine passengers, and it is available in two lengths up to 210 inches long putting it just six inches shorter than a standard-length E-Series van and about a foot longer than the Explorer.

Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014



Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show, Ford owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 and Mustang. While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).
