2002 Ford E150 Traveler Edition on 2040-cars
Torrington, Connecticut, United States
2002 Ford E150 Traveler Edition (like the earlier Chateau models)
193,xxx miles 5.4L Triton V8 Leather seating for seven (2 front row bucket seats, 2 second row bucket seats, 3 third row bench seat) VCR and flip down LCD monitors (factory setup not aftermarket) $2500 Here's the deal with the van. I like to buy cars, selling not so much. It's fun to have a different car often and hunt a for a deal. I bought this vehicle on eBay last year. I paid $3050 for it November 2013. Buying cars this way means I almost never have any service records or history to them. This van is no exception. From the basic looks of it it has been maintained, interior and exterior very clean for the age and mileage of the vehicle. Does has some rust on some lower points as noted in the pictures, certainly not as bad as some I have seen or even owned. (Had a 1995 E350) All I can do is show you pictures of the van and tell you about my time with it. I've driven it around 3000 miles (it's a second vehicle), towed 1500 pounds of scrap metal, and camped in for a couple nights. When you take out the rear bench I have a perfect sized mattress that fits in there. It makes camping out very comfortable. I've changed the oil, replaced the fuel filter, and replaced the cylinder five ignition coil (had a slight hesitation). That's all I've needed to do for maintenance in the time I've had it. Drives great, shifts great. So as with any vehicle that's 12 years old it's got some quirks. 1. Wheel weights have come off the right front wheel, no problem around town but around 70+mph on the highway you get a little shake. 2. Rear door handle is missing one nut/bolt combo, still works fine. 3. Side door doesn't always unlock with the power locks, something is rattling in the door, this was like it when I bought the van. 4. Outside temp / compass display (overhead) is not working. The rest is evident with the pictures, a couple dents in the rear bumper, the small sections of rust, and the tiny split in the driver's side front seat. |

Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells
Sat, Jan 10 2015Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.
Project Ugly Horse: Part VIII
Fri, 17 May 2013Now With More EcoBoost
There's an EcoBoost 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in there somewhere, and it's headed straight for Ugly Horse.
For the second time in my life, I'm staring at an engine in the back of a truck with no concept of how to get it safely into the garage by my lonesome. The first time this happened, I dragged home a $300 International 345 V8 in the back of my Scout Terra only to discover that the bounds of my manliness terminated well before my ability to muscle that 800-pound cast iron block out of the pickup bed.
Ford shareholders happy as the Blue Oval stays in the black
Fri, May 15 2015Ford posted slightly falling global sales and revenue in its first-quarter financial announcement, but pre-tax profits and operating margins were up. Apparently, that was plenty to keep shareholders happy, though. The Blue Oval's recent investor meeting in Delaware lasted less than an hour, and a vote on the approval of the board passed by over 93 percent. Ford CEO Mark Fields continued to predict a strong year financially and increasing profits, according to the Detroit Free Press. The growth comes thanks in large part to the company's 24 global vehicle launches last year and 15 more this year. The likelihood of significant profits from the strong-selling 2015 F-150 should be especially lucrative, too. In the Q1 announcement, the Blue Oval forecast pre-tax profits between $8.5 billion and $9.5 billion for 2015. During the meeting, Fields said that the next 15 years of changes in the industry represent the "ultimate opportunity as a company. As big as when Henry Ford put the world on wheels more than 100 years ago," according to the Free Press. Investments like the expanded technology center in Silicon Valley should push that work along.
