This 1996 Ford F 250 2 wheel drive pickup is in exceptional condition for its year. With the current millage it has averaged a little over 10,000 miles per year.

The 7.3 liter Powerstroke turbo charged diesel engine has been maintained to the highest level. When ever there was an issue with the truck it was fixed immediately by a reputable local repair facility. The truck is ready to go anywhere. The glow plow harness was replaced several years ago. within the past 3 years a new cam timing sensor was installed, new brakes, new plug for block heater (you don't really need it because the truck starts in the coldest weather).New rear differential cover just put in because the old one wasn't leaking but was showing signs that it might. Rear end oil was changed at that time.

Duel fuel tanks, the front tank fuel guage does not work. Each tank has a key locking fuel fill cap. No oil leaks or drips anywhere. Engine burns clean with no smoke.

I had a 2" receiver hitch installed with an electric brake adjustment modual in the cab. The truck has towed a trailer maybe 5 times. There are two surface rust spots. One is on the hood and the other is to the right of the rear window. Both have rust inhibitor on them but should be painted at some point. About the size of a quarter, see pictures.

It has a fantastic Eagle hydraulic tailgate lift that can lift 500LBS. Very handy piece of equipment. The electric motor that drives the hydraulic pump has been rebuilt and works perfectly.

There is a small ding on the drivers side door and above the fuel tank fill they are small and hard to see in the pictures.

Plastic bed liner. Tires are excellent.

Transmission has an over drive button that is used when towing.

Rocker panels and doors are solid as a rock. No rust on this truck besides what I mentioned above. The truck has been kept indoors and not driven in the winter.I'm selling it because I don't need it any more and it has only been used about 4000 miles a year in the past 9 years.

The engine is extremely powerful and with a lot of torque.

Vynal bench seat, hand crank windows, no AC. This is a reliable no frills truck. That's probably why its so reliable and inexpensive to maintain.

Call me with any questions. 860-662-0272

Ford considering return to Le Mans with new EcoBoost LMP2

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

If you want to see a Ford racing prototype, you need look no further than the United SportsCar Championship, where the Blue Oval fields two Daytona Prototypes powered by an EcoBoost-branded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. But according to the latest rumors, that may not be enough for Ford, which has as much brand to promote overseas as it does back home.
That could be why Racer magazine is reporting that Ford may be poised to return to Le Mans in the coming years. As we all know, Ford competed at Le Mans in the mid-through-late '60s, bringing home four consecutive overall wins with the legendary GT40. The new program would not, according to Racer, seek to relive those glory days, but would instead compete for class wins in the LMP2 category.
Currently, LMP2 regulations are somewhat split between the United SportsCar Championship in North America on the one hand and ACO-sanctioned series like the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship on the other, but plans are underway for the regulations to be unified in time for the 2017 season. That could be when Ford is targeting its return, allowing it to compete on both sides of the Atlantic to maximize its exposure.

Ford dominates most-stolen SUV list

Tue, 17 Jun 2014



The Ford Escape leads the NICB's list with 1,421 examples stolen.
If you drive a recent Ford SUV or crossover, you may want to keep a watchful eye out for thieves - especially if you live in the New York metro area or in Detroit. A new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau has named three Ford models as the most likely vehicles in their genre to be stolen, with CUVs in general being especially attractive to bandits.

Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
