This is an awesome vehicle that I purchased for hunting, fishing and camping. Unfortunately, family and business needs come first and I reluctantly have to part with this rig. I purchased this truck with 150k miles on it and have taken meticulous care of it since. It came with the EGR Delete kit, which is a costly but important modification for this year of the 6.0, and can increase the life of this engine dramatically. It also already had the 4" turbo-back exhaust system and Bullydog cold air intake. I have installed the "blue spring" fuel pressure regulator, which was another issue with these engines that caused them to not get enough fuel when under load. I have a Bullydog Power Pup 10-stage programmer I will also include for the successful bidder. The wheels are 18" Chrome plated and the tires are 325/65 Firestone Destination ATs with decent tread left. This truck is a BRUTE, as illustrated by the heavy duty bumper guard up front, made of 1/4" steel. I recently replaced the front hub assemblies and rotors, ($1800!!!) but otherwise it has been bulletproof. 4x4 works smoothly. The truck was a Florida vehicle until last winter, but even though it is tagged with Minnesota plates, it still has seen very little road salt. It's very clean. I've owned 9 Powerstroke diesels and this is my sixth 6.0. I know how to take care of them and I know their strengths and weaknesses. This is a good one. I would confidently take this truck anywhere. I have another Powerstroke 6.0 pickup that is a "project" truck for me and it doesn't run as smooth as this one, but I need to keep a truck and don't need the SUV. The steering is a little sloppy, as it needs some new rod ends, but it's aligned and doesn't dog track or anything. The front bumper is the only real flaw on the truck, as the passenger side has a little dent on it. If that was replaced, the body would be 99% straight. The interior is worn where it typically is, on the drivers' seat, but otherwise just normal wear and tear. Not a lot of stains, no rips, etc. I will upload better interior pics or email them upon request. I haven't had a chance to get pics during daylight since deciding to sell it. "Subtle" would not be a good word to describe this truck. It's loud and it stands out. My kids named it "Big E" and their class mates think it's "cool". I buy on Ebay, but not sold a lot, so I'm a little out of my comfort zone. I will make one last "road trip" in this rig if you cannot pick this truck up, for a negotiated amount. This is really a special interest vehicle and needs to go to someone that is specifically looking for this special American muscle! |

Ford could make as much as $13k profit for every F-150
Thu, Apr 30 2015The Ford F-Series is a perennial member of the US bestseller list with the title in its brawny grasp for over 30 years, and the truck ranks as the top-selling model over $50,000 in the country. It shouldn't come as a shock then that the model is a major buttress of Ford's bottom line. Have you ever wondered just how vital the trucks are to the Blue Oval's health, though? Some math based on recent figures suggests they might be even more important than you think. Automotive News recently did the calculation and came up with that each F-150 sold contributed about $13,333 to the company's profits. That number was based on a statement from Ford CFO Bob Shanks that the automaker could have made another $1 billion in North America for the first quarter with a repeat of last year's sales of the F-150 and Edge, with 60,000 more trucks and 15,000 additional crossovers. If those 75,000 missing vehicles cost the company $1 billion, then they averaged $13,333 each. Also, the F-150 makes up 80 percent of the lost sales, so you might even conclude that each pickup brings even more money into Ford. Automotive News also extrapolates further. Based on a forecast of 800,000 F-Series sales this year, that's about $10.7 billion going into Ford's coffers. Obviously, these figures are far from exact since they are based on a single statement from the automaker's CFO. Autoblog reached out to Ford to see if the numbers were accurate, but the Blue Oval wouldn't comment on vehicle profitability. However, AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan suggests these figures could be on the right track, if a bit high. "The rough guess has been $10,000. Obviously that is a little different for a $60k truck vs a regular cab 4x2 work truck, but $10,000 is the ball park that is used," he said to Autoblog. If you ever wonder why Ford might be loathe to bring the smaller Ranger back to the US when it's available elsewhere, these huge profits are likely part of the answer. The Blue Oval has little reason to cut into the sales of a model that makes the brand billions. Related Video:

Ford trademarking 'Mach 1,' possibly for Mustang
Thu, 24 Oct 2013A legendary name might be accompanying the redesigned, 2015 Mustang when it finally makes its world debut - Mach 1. Stumbled upon by the team at Ford Authority, the Mach 1 title was found in a trademark filing with the US Patent and Trademark Office, and would revive a name last used on the fourth-generation, 2003 Mustang.
While the the 2003 vintage was well and good, the Mach 1 is really remembered for a three-year run from 1969 to 1971 - it's best to just forget the emissions-choked 1972 to 1978 Mach 1s - when power output ranged from a modest 250 horsepower with the two-barrel, 351-cubic-inch Windsor V8 to "375 hp" (actual output was rumored to be well north of 400 horsepower) with the righteous, 429-cubic-inch Super Cobra Jet V8.
What does the title hold for the sixth-generation Mustang? It's tough to say. The fanatics at Ford Authority seem to think Mach 1 could take the place of the Shelby GT500 at the top of the Mustang hierarchy, which sounds like a valid argument. At the same time, we could see the SVT Cobra moniker returning for the flagship model, and the Mach 1 doing battle with the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 (unless the Boss 302 were to return). Confounding things is the historical precedent - the Mach 1 was responsible for the death of the Mustang GT in 1969, so it might make sense as a volume performance model.
