Condition

Drivetrain

Engine starts up and runs strong and smooth as you would expect.  4.0L V6 engine with automatic transmission and 4-wheel drive.  Only 12k miles.  No engine knocking, smoking, or dripping leaks. Shifts into and through all gears smoothly as it should.  Has powerful acceleration and cruises at highway speed.  Has been fleet serviced since new.  Recent Service: new battery, all fluids have been changed.  Extended Warranty covers drive train components only.

Exterior     

Paint has all of its shine and glistens in the sun as you can see.  This was a fleet/municipal vehicle and as such, does have some minor physical blemishes.  There are nicks, chips, scratches, dings, and other minor blemishes in a few spots around the body.  There is a scratch on the rear right side door and some scuffs on the front left side bumper edge.  There is some paintwork on the doors and tailgate where decals were removed.  Overall nice looking truck as you can see.  Please keep in mind this is not new but still a nice low mileage specimen.   

Interior

Interior is in very good condition with minimal wear.  There may be a few tiny holes drilled in some of the console panels where electronics were mounted.  Seats and floor are in like-new condition with no rips or significant wear.  A/C blows cold.  Radio and other devices work fine as they should.  SRS light is on due to a faulty seat track sensor.  The RSC light periodically comes on if starting up on uneven terrain.  This pertains to the anti-roll feature that applies braking if you corner too hard.  It doesn't affect performance of vehicle and has only come on a few times.  No evidence or smoking or pets.  Fresh and clean inside.   

Wheels and Tires

·  Tires have approximately 50%+ tread remaining.  Full set of factory alloy rims. 

I have test driven approximately 200 miles and assessed the overall condition of the vehicle to the best of my ability.  Known defects have been noted, but there may be repairs required and additional defects beyond what is listed.  Please keep in mind this is a salvage/rebuilt vehicle with previous flood damage history.  As I recommend to all my customers, you should have your mechanic look over any newly purchased vehicle before extensive use.  I have tried to list as many details about this vehicle as I can, including known defects.  Please keep in mind this was a gov't vehicle and may have greater wear and tear than normal vehicle.  There may be deficiencies that I am not aware of so buyers are encouraged to inspect in person.  If you are local I encourage and welcome you to come down and check out the truck for yourself or have an independent inspection completed PRIOR to bidding.  There will be no price adjustments or sale cancellations for failure to do so.  IT IS THE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK QUESTIONS AND/OR INSPECT THE VEHICLE BEFORE BIDDING AND PURCHASE.  FAILURE OF THE BUYER TO DO SO DOES NOT CONSTITUTE NON-DISCLOSURE OF DEFECTS ON THE SELLERS PART.  I am happy to answer any questions so feel free to e-mail me or call.

Hybrid, electric campers take center stage at Germany's motorhome trade show

Fri, Sep 6 2019

Car companies from all over the automotive spectrum will make international headlines next week by presenting hybrid and electric cars at the biennial Frankfurt auto show. Camper van and motorhome manufacturers got a head start on the rest of the industry by presenting their green solutions at the Dusseldorf Caravan Salon. The show confirms electrification is present in the leisure segment, too. German camper experts Dethleffs introduced a plug-in hybrid, pop-top camper based on the full-size Ford Transit van. Called Globevan e.Hybrid, it relies on a 126-horsepower drivetrain built around a turbocharged, 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine. The system can power the camper on electricity alone for up to 31 miles. Adventurers who leave with a full tank and a full charge enjoy 310 miles of driving range, which is an impressive figure for the camper van segment. Charging the battery pack takes 5.5 hours when using a regular household outlet, according to the manufacturer, or three hours when hooking it up to a quick-charging station. Globevan production is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2020, and pricing starts at 75,000 euros, a sum that represents approximately $83,000. EFA-S took electrification a step further. Starting with a Fiat Ducato, a van known as the Ram Promaster in the United States, it yanked out the turbodiesel engine and replaced it with a 140-kilowatt electric motor fed by an 86-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack. The company pegs the camper's driving range at up to 186 miles, a relatively low figure which hardly reflects how most vacationers use their van. The pack takes four hours to charge, Auto Motor und Sport learned. While sustainable, zero-emissions tourism is difficult to argue against, the Ducato-based camper suffers from two serious setbacks. First, the battery pack makes it so heavy that it can't be driven with a regular license. It's considered a heavy commercial vehicle. Second, its 160,000-euro (about $177,000) price tag makes it twice as expensive as a diesel-burning model, and puts it in the same price range as much bigger, more powerful, and more luxurious models. EFA-S will nonetheless move forward with production in 2020, though it plans to build no more than 30 units. The caravan Salon is not only about hybrids and electric cars, however.

Retro Wrong: MotorWeek shares first unaired pilot episode

Fri, Apr 17 2015

MotorWeek is an automotive institution in the United States. We all have to get our start somewhere though, and for the latest entry in the Retro Review series, the show is releasing its unaired pilot for the first time. Even today, the program isn't necessarily the most exciting thing on TV, but the modern incarnation looks like Top Gear compared to this original, very monotone attempt. The cars on display are more interesting from a historical aspect than actually being behind the wheel. MotorWeek puts the Chevrolet Citation and Ford Fairmont head to head. If you want to see progress in the auto industry, look here. The Fairmont manages a rousing 85 horsepower from a 3.3-liter inline six, and the Citation does only a little better with a 115-hp, 2.8-liter V6. The other highlight comes at the end when John Davis talks about the cars of the future. These include the upcoming introduction of the Ford Escort in the US and the mention of a possible gasoline-electric hybrid from General Motors. Given this pilot, it's amazing MotorWeek ever got the green light. However, if you're a fan of auto history, seeing the news from the past is always fascinating.

Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]

Sun, 08 Dec 2013

The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.
