I am the original owner of this 2003 Ford Expedition and am having emotional detachment issues selling it.   I really love this truck and even though it is 10 years old, it still gets looks everywhere I drive it.  I just needed a newer truck that would fit my lifestyle a little better as I have two German Shepherds and was constantly cleaning the interior.  So I bought a new pickup (with a cap) and now they can ride safely and cleanly in the back. 


This Expy has been an incredible and dependable vehicle.  It has only been in the shop twice in the 10 years I have owned it.  Once for a Door Ajar light issue at about 50k miles, and a second time for a new starter/cable issue (known/factory defect) at 100k miles.  During both visits I had Ford go through all the factory recommended fluid changes, tune up, maintenance, etc.  During the first visit (50k) I also had the steering rag-joint replaced as I was having a bit of wheel vibration at about 80mph.  I am starting to experience it again, so it might be time for another new rag-joint as the big tires just wear out the joint faster that Ford anticipated.    I changed the oil every 3-5k miles and had all other fluids replaced as recommended. I really took good care of the truck as it was my daily driver and I'm a car nut.

As you can see by the pics, the Expy ain't exactly stock.  Here is a rundown of what's been done:

Engine / Drivetrain (not much)
- K&N Air Filter System 
- Optima Battery
- Gibson (cat-back) exhaust

Suspension
- Lowered 2/3 inches with Eibach springs 
- Factory Bilstein shocks
- Aftermarket electronic trailer brake controller (I tow hot rods and project cars occasionally)

Brakes
- Upgraded rotors
- Ceramic brake pads

Wheels/Tires
- 24x9.5 Lexani rims 
- Cooper Zeon LTZ 305/35R24 tires

Body
- StreetScene Body Kit (Front bumper, side rocker covers, trailer hitch cover)
- StreetScene Grill
- Removed factory roof rack and running boards 
- LED Tail Lights & 3rd Brake Light
- Custom built (by me) Headlights with Acura HID Projectors, Philips Bulbs & Ballasts, CCFL Halo Rings

Interior
- Katskin Black/Grey Leather on front & second row seats
- Brushed silver gauge overlay
- Black burl wood accent overlays on dash, console, doors, etc.
- Front doors had legal window tint applied


Here are ALL the known issues with the truck:

Body
- Paint is bubbling on rear lift gate around the hinges (see pics) and a smaller spot near the license plate
- Scratch on right rear passenger door, where I scraped up against my fence (see pics)
- Paint chipping on the lower right front bumper (see pics)
- There are some other minor scratches here and there, but no dents and no rust

Suspension
- I think the steering rag joint is going again as I am starting to get wheel vibrations at about 75-80 mph.  Again the big tires just kick the sheet out of the rag joint.
- On hard, high-speed braking, the truck pulls to the right.  I looked at the front rotors and they are scored, so it might nearly be time to replace them again, but you only experience this on panic stops.

Interior
- The driver side seat has a tear and is getting a little soft from all the entry and exit.  The other seats are perfect as I rarely had passengers - just me and my dogs.
- The airbag light keeps flashing, so it might need to have a factory check or reset.

Other
- The A/C developed a slow leak (can't find it) two years ago and I have to re-charge the system every summer. 


Well that's about all I can think of.  I really love this truck and hate to sell her, but I got my new one and someone else can continue to enjoy this one. I'd prefer a buyer that doesn't live near me as I never want to see her again and experience sellers remorse.  She's a looker and just like an old girlfriend - out of sight is out of mind.  Seriously - she's a great truck and I will miss her.

Feel free to ask questions and she is available for inspection.

Ford Transit gets outfitted for prison duty

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

Between the Taurus-based Police Interceptor, the Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility and the F-150 and Expedition special service vehicles, Ford has no lack of offerings for law enforcement. And now it has one more in the form of the new Transit PTV.
Based on the fullsize Transit van, the Prisoner Transport Vehicle can move as many as 12 prisoners in three separate compartments between detention facilities. Created in collaboration with Pennsylvania-based Havis Prisoner Transport Solutions and with input from Ford's Police Advisory Board, the Transit PTV takes advantage of the Transit's considerable configuration options that include three roof heights, two wheelbases, three lengths and four body-styles - not to mention engine options that include the flex-fuel 3.7-liter V6, 3.5-liter EcoBoost and 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel.
"Transit PTV is the latest example of Ford's deep commitment to helping provide law enforcement agencies with capable vehicles. This concept proves Transit is upfit-ready and designed to Built Ford Tough standards," said Jonathan Honeycutt, Ford police marketing manager. "Many Police Advisory Board members have had the chance to drive this vehicle and they are excited about it. This new vehicle is tough, smart and efficient - ideal for the needs of law enforcement agencies."

'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you

Fri, 03 May 2013

The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
