I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN 2011 FROM THE TOWNSHIP OF HOPEWELL NJ. IT WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND IN GOOD RUNNING CONDITION WITH AN ODOMETER READING OF 29,752 MILES. I INSTALLED 2 NEW BATTERIES, A PIONEER CD PLAYER AND SPEAKERS, AND ACQUIRED 2 SPARE WHEELS AND TIRES. I HAVE USED IT FOR WORK AND PLAY FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS. IT STARTS EASY, RUNS STRONG, AND HAS GONE RIGHT THROUGH NJ INSPECTION EVERY YEAR. IT IS STILL IN VERY GOOD SHAPE, SEE PICS. I DO JOBSITE SURVEYING, MEASURING, AND FIELD ENGINEERING. THIS MADE AN EXCELLENT FIELD OFFICE AND LUNCH ROOM. FOLD UP TABLE IS BIG ENOUGH TO OPEN LARGE CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS. I ALSO BUILD AND FLY LARGE SCALE RADIO CONTROLLED AIRPLANES. WITH PLENTY OF LIGHTING AND 120V OUTLETS IT MAKES A GREAT MOBILE SHOP FOR THE FLYING FIELD. ALL THE LIGHTS AND OUTLETS WORK. FLOODS ON BOTH SIDES AND REAR PROVIDE PLENTY OF LIGHT WHEN USED FOR HUNTING OR CAMPING. A FELLOW EMPLOYEE DONATED A TV AND CONVERTER BOX WHICH WORKED GREAT. THEY ARE INCLUDED. MOST JOBSITES PROVIDED 120V POWER, BUT SOME REQUIRED THE USE OF A GENERATOR. IT IS INCLUDED. THIS IS A GREAT TRUCK IN GOOD CONDITION, SEE PICS. CAB HAS SOME BODY RUST JUST STARTING. THERE IS NO RESERVE AND I WILL NOT RELIST.

MY APPOLOGIES TO THOSE WHO HAD OR HAVE NOW PLACED BIDS.  REGARDS, GARY

I AM ADDING THE FOLLOWING BASED ON "MY MEMORY" OF A CONVERSATION I HAD WITH THE TOWNSHIP OFFICIAL WHO SHOWED ME THE TRUCK.

IT STARTED LIFE WITH THE FIRST AID DEPT AS AN AMBULANCE, AT SOME POINT IT WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE POLICE DEPT AND RETROFITTED AS A MOBILE COMMAND CENTER, AND FINALLY IT WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE UTILITIES DEPT WHO ADDED THE FOLD UP TABLE AND TRAILER HITCH. AT SOME POINT IT WAS RETIRED AND SAT FOR ABOUT A YEAR BEFORE I TOOK POSESSION.

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost

Fri, 09 May 2014

I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.

Ford Fiesta ST gets worked out on the track

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

We're big fans of the turbocharged Ford Focus ST, and we're plenty excited that the Blue Oval will be offering a similar treatment on the smaller Fiesta here in the United States, too. We first saw the production-ready Fiesta ST five-door at the Los Angeles Auto Show last fall, and Ford has now released this video of a Euro-spec three-door ST being flung around the track.
But not just any track - the challenging Track 7 of Ford's Lommel Proving Grounds in Belgium. The course features 20 turns and plenty of elevation changes along its 2.7-mile loop, and David Put, a vehicle dynamic specialist at Ford, shows just how good the pint-sized Fiesta ST is at handling the lot, even getting the smallest ST up on three wheels every now and then.
It sure does look like a lot of fun, and makes us really eager for our chance to try this ourselves. Scroll down to see the hot little Ford getting busy.

Ford and GM link bonus checks to quality scores

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

The poor first quarter earnings of Ford and General Motors are having an effect all the way up the food chain. Both automakers struggled with recalls in the first three months of the year, and, according to The Detroit News, they have responded by increasing the percentage of bonuses tied to vehicle quality for salaried workers, including top executives.
GM announced that 25 percent of bonuses (up from 10 percent) for all salaried workers would be tied to its vehicle quality standards. The automaker revealed in its financial report that it spent $1.3 billion on recall-related repairs in the first quarter, and net income was down 86 percent.
Ford also increased the quality proportion of bonuses for about 26,000 salaried workers all the way up to CEO Alan Mulally from 10 percent to 20 percent. The company announced in its report that the amount paid out in warranty and recall claims was about $400 million higher than expected in the first quarter. Its net income fell 39 percent from the previous year. "The change reflects how critical quality is to our overall business," said spokesperson Todd Nissen speaking to Autoblog.
