We have a 2000 Ford Excursion XLT V10 with 4-wheel drive. It has over 300,000 miles, and it does need work. It will run, but it is not safe to drive long distances as it had a small leak in the brake line that has turned into a bigger leak. It needs to have brake fluid added before taking it anywhere. My brother looked under the truck and could said he could see where it was leaking from. It also has the spark plug issues. We believe a spark plug blew a few weeks ago; now the truck runs really loudly and there is gas odor. All the spark plugs do look like they are intact however. We took it in for testing and found the spark plugs 2, 3, and 7 have cylinder misfires detected. There is a slow leak in the right rear tire. In the past, we have put fix a flat in it, and that has helped. Since the vehicle has been sitting undriven for a few weeks, however, the tire is currently flat, but we do have a full size spare tire. The air conditioning is not working. We have been told that it needs a new compressor. Just recently someone ran into the passenger door and dented it when I was parked at work. The front driver's side mirror was also damaged. The heat and the blowers--both front and rear worked fine the last time we ran the heat back in April. We've had the steering column replaced. We had over $1000 in front end work done a few years ago, so the four wheel drive system works fine. There is some minor rust in places. We've used it as a family car for the last several years (a majority of the miles that we put on it were highway miles--trips to Milwaukee, Chicago, Oshkosh, and Philadelphia)--we are the second owners--we purchased it back in 2006). I love this truck and would keep it and get it repaired, but now that we have seven children, there isn't enough passenger seating (it seats 8), so we've purchased a passenger van. Because it has been a primary vehicle for a large family, the interior needs much work. The seats aren't in too bad of shape, but the carpets have seen better days. Everything needs to be cleaned thoroughly. It does have the third row seating and tow package. The fair condition estimate for this model is $4295. Local pick up only. We are in Kenosha Wisconsin, right near the Illinois border, so we are in close proximity to Chicago and Milwaukee. Please send us your best offer.

GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773

Fri, Mar 24 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna.Â Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts Â– Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify Â– Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS Â– Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 Â– Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email Â– Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.

UAW Chief Shawn Fain disrupts Detroit's labor tradition

Fri, Sep 15 2023

He's known to quote the Bible and Nation of Islam civil rights leader Malcolm X. He's a social media fanatic who keeps the pay stubs of his union member grandfather in his wallet. And now, Shawn Fain is representing nearly 150,000 auto workers in one of the biggest labor strikes in decades. In taking action against all three Detroit carmakers, Fain, the head of the United Auto Workers, has remade the strategy of the union he leads, choosing a bolder, much riskier path than his predecessors after he won office by a narrow margin in a first-ever direct election earlier this year. The strike started as the clock hit midnight on Friday, and followed Fain's decision to open negotiations with Ford Motor, General Motors and Stellantis simultaneously and eschew public niceties involving choreographed handshakes that famously kicked off previous negotiating efforts. The strategy is not without risk. A weeks-long strike would hit workers who live paycheck to paycheck, while the Detroit Three automakers have billions in cash to withstand the walkout. Fain, 54, has made creative use of social media, appearances on network and cable news programs and alliances with high-profile progressive politicians such as U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, to reframe the UAW's contract bargaining as a battle to re-set the balance of power between workers and global corporations. He has rebutted automakers' concerns about labor costs by pointing out that they have poured billions into share buybacks to benefit investors. "If they’ve got money for Wall Street they sure as hell have money for the workers making the product," he said. Â“We fight for the good of the entire working class and the poor." In lengthy social media talks to UAW members, Fain alternates quoting Bible verses with the use of charts and graphs to dissect wage and benefit offers from the automakers - details his predecessors kept behind closed doors during bargaining crunch time. Fain, in his unorthodox approach, ran what amounted to a public auction among the companies to push each one to top the other to avoid a costly walkout. Prior UAW presidents picked just one automaker to set a pattern for the other two. Over and over, Fain has told UAW members at the Detroit Three that they can reverse 20 years of wage and retiree benefit concessions, stop further plant closures and end a seniority-based, tiered compensation system that pays new hires as much as 44% less than veteran workers.

Best 3rd row SUVs of 2022

Wed, Oct 19 2022

If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here areÂ our two top choices.Â OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (theÂ Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.Â Â In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row CrossoverÂ |Â Â Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUVÂ |Â Â Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.
