Thanks for looking! Up for sale is my 2001 FORD F-350 XLT WITH THE 7.3L POWERSTROKE DIESEL ENGINE. I am the original owner and the truck has served me very well over the past 13 years! The truck has ONLY 158500 MILES, has always been a NON SMOKING vehicle, has NEVER PLOWED, and has ONLY OCCASIONALLY TOWED a small 4000 lb. boat trailer. The exterior of the truck is in very good condition with minimal rust at the bottom of the cab (see pictures) and underneath where the running boards attach. There are only a few minor dings in the body. The entire box bed I had replaced and painted two years ago and is perfect! The chrome bumpers are original and in excellent shape. The interior seats have been covered since new and are literally like new underneath. The cup holder trim on the dash snapped off years ago but the holder is still functional. The power windows all work and the power locks work from the inside of the truck but only the driver's side front and rear work from remote. I do have both keys and remotes. The front windshield has a chip near the rearview mirror, but I will have that replaced before the successful bidder takes the truck. The front tires are decent but the rears will need replacing within 5000 miles. The ball joints were replaced at 130000 miles and the front end is tight and the truck is a pleasure to drive. Batteries were replaced 1 1/2 years ago and the alternator was replaced last year. 4 wheel drive works well but the hubs need to be locked and unlocked manually.

Overall a great truck I hate to see go, but I have to make room for the new 2014 I drove home last week! I have a reasonable reserve on the truck and please note that the vehicle is available for sale locally as well. Any local sale will take precedent over this listing.

Thanks again, and please contact me with any questions you may have.

Ford Escort Concept goes back to basics

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

Here's the thing about China: The folks buying cars there have a very different set of standards than shoppers in many other markets around the globe. While we all drool over hot metal with bold designs, and while we appreciate automakers going an extra step to inject even their cheapest offerings with aggressive and interesting cues, that sort of sheetmetal sex appeal doesn't always sell in the People's Republic. Case in point is Jaguar, which may be designing a more traditional-looking version of its XJ for the Chinese market, or more to the point of this story, Ford currently sells the less-exciting, last-generation Focus compact in China right alongside the new one.
So consider this new Shanghai-bound C-segment concept a preview of what's to come for that more traditional, budget-minded, less-sexy market. More proof of this pudding: Ford's even calling this concept the Escort - a nod to the Blue Oval's compact car days of yore, and a name that stirs up thoughts of basic, affordable transportation rather than great driving dynamics or bold design. "Customers in China described seeking a vehicle that is stylish - but not one that is arrogant or pretentious," Ford states. And this new Escort concept previews a possibility of providing exactly that for this rapidly expanding automotive market.
What you're looking at, then, is one of the most simple Ford designs we've seen of late, though it still incorporates all of the automaker's latest DNA. The signature hexagonal grille is front and center, flanked by attractive LED headlamps and chrome-rimmed foglamp housings. The entire car's design focuses on clean, smooth surfaces, with one strong character line flowing from front to back just below the beltline. We will say that the car looks decidedly more premium from the rear view, where narrow, horizontal taillamps with an LED accent give the car added visual width. Bland as it may be, it's a handsome little concept, though fear what would likely happen if all of the conceptual details get dumbed down for a production model.

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.
