I will start off by saying this is my personal vehicle and the title is in MY name. I will be honest about everything and feel free to ask me anything! I have encountered a lot of dishonesty and I certainly want you to know what you are buying. This truck overall is in good condition. The paint shines like new. There isn't any chipping, fading or missing clear coat. There is one ding/dent as you could see in one of the pictures. The following have been recently replaced:Upper and lower ball joints, outer tie rod ends, pivot arm bushings, radius arm bushings, all four shocks, bearings, axle seals, pads, shoes, rotors, caliper/brackets, Front rubber brake lines, wheel cylinders, drums, 4 brand new tires in back, alignment, a couple of the leaf spring bushings, air filter, fuel filter, windshield wipers, thermostat and hoses, oil and filter. When I replaced all of these parts I specifically asked for the good parts and not the cheap stuff. Included with the sale will be an entire folder full of receipts. This truck has the Original Alcoa aluminum rims. The front tires are Firestone LT215/85/R15 and have about 7/32nds left. The rear are BRAND NEW Toyo H/T Open Country LT215/85/R16. This truck drives great! On the bottom of this description is two videos. One of them is the infamous blow-by test another is highway driving. These videos were from 3/26/13. This truck is from Tennessee, THE ONLY spot of rust on this truck is in the drivers side back door jam near the striker. Very weird that it rusted there. Seems that it is just surface rust anyway. The underneath and the bottom of the doors are SPOTLESS. Every time I drive this truck in salt I rinse it off in the garage that same night including the undercarriage. If you buy it you will see it is garage kept and I have a floor drain and hose in my garage. The only bad things I could tell you about this truck is the dash pad is cracked. However, this pad piece is EASY to replace. It is not the main dash piece. Any F series truck these years including broncos have this same piece. I have seen the piece on ebay for $40. Maybe a half hour job. Also, there is a noise that seems to be coming from the steering column sometimes when turning or hitting a bump while turning. I'm guessing it is the steering column, everything else is new. I have been told that I am very picky about my cars so this noise might not even bother you? I just want to tell you everything I know. I also just put a brand new Curt tow package on. All of the electric for the 7pin trailer hook up works and it comes with a drawtite electric brake module. The rear bumper and tailgate isn't in the best shape. The tailgate opens and closes very easily. The air conditioning blows ice cold and the heat works excellent. The transmission must have been rebuilt before I purchased this truck because it shifts GREAT. I have older rubber floor mats for the front and brand new weather tech rubber mats for the rear. It does come with a spare tire. The interior is clean, I have it shampooed regularly and I don't smoke. There is no weird smells or anything. The headliner in back is sagging a little. Not really noticeable but its one of the things I look at when I buy a car. This truck doesn't leak anything! It will only smoke blue when it is cold on the first start up. On the coldest day this year when the truck was parked outside at my work it has started without being plugged in. You will NOT be disappointed in this vehicle. Bid with confidence.

Ford begins testing right-hand-drive Mustang
Wed, 20 Aug 2014Ford has officially kicked off testing of the right-hand-drive variant of its sixth-generation, 2015 Mustang, according to a statement issued by the company, which came with the above photo.
According to Ford, this will mark the first time a right-hand-drive 'Stang has traveled down the company's assembly line alongside its LHD brethren. It is far from the first of the legendary pony cars to feature its wheel on the wrong side, though, as converters in RHD markets across the globe have been making swaps for years.
Ford is planning on using the white, droptop Mustang for RHD development ahead of the car's arrival in the UK, Australia and South Africa, among other markets. Scroll down for the official press blast.
How the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor became a reality
Wed, 01 May 2013The camouflaged Ford F-150 SVT Raptor prototype captured above blazing its way across the desert during a test run left company engineers giggling in amazement, reveals Jamal Hameedi in a new Autoweek video. Ford's global performance vehicle chief engineer, accompanied by senior exterior designer Bruce Williams, sat down with the publication to discuss the concept and development of the automaker's super off-road F-150.
Designing a high-performance pickup in 2008, right when the cost of gasoline was going through the roof, seemed insane at the time, but the team pushed forward with the innovative vehicle regardless. The interview includes plenty of Ford B-roll footage as visual candy, and the conversations include discussions about exterior design, ride comfort, anti-lock brake tuning, suspension engineering, weight reduction and why it was necessary to make the Raptor visually different than Ford's standard F-150. The model's origin story is very interesting, and you can learn more about it by watching the video below.
Ford bringing C-Max Solar Energi Concept to CES
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Solar energy might not be enough to power a usable electric vehicle on its own, but that doesn't mean it can't lend a helping hand. And that's what Ford has in store for the Consumer Electronics Show opening next week in Las Vegas.
Ford has essentially taken its C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid and fitted it with the latest in solar panel technology developed by SunPower, acting like a magnifying glass to capture as much of the sun's energy as possible. So you get the benefit of an electric vehicle, with the range assurance of a hybrid, without needing to draw from the grid.
Ford estimates that a day of charging in the sunshine will give the C-Max Solar Energi concept the same full charge as the production PHEV, with a total range of 620 miles - 21 of which can be run on electric power alone. Otherwise the vehicle - which remains a concept for the time being - is identical to the existing C-Max Energi. The top-selling model in Ford's growing hybrid and electric vehicle portfolio helps put Ford just behind Toyota among the top seller of hybrids in America. Scope out the images in the gallery above and the video clip and press release below for a closer look.
