Excellent condition 2003 Ford Explorer with the somewhat rare Eddie Bauer two-tone leather interior and 4.6L V8 engine. We have owned this car since 2004 and it has been an extremely reliable vehicle. Amazingly, it can get up to 22 MPG on the highway. Regularly maintained, and it really is in excellent condition for a 2003. That being said, there are minor cosmetic things that I will list below, but know that this is an excellent vehicle that I have little doubt will reliably run for another 100,000 miles if not significantly further. Here are some details:
- Eddie Bauer package, with two tone leather seats
- 4 door with rear full door that can also open via the rear window
- Michelin Latitude X-ice snow tire (probably 50% life remaining)
- Power Sun Roof
- New JVC Stereo with CD and AUX inlet
- Luggage Rack
- All Wheel Drive / 4 Wheel Drive, is great in the Colorado Front range winter conditions
- Towing Package with controller
- Air Conditioner
- Heated drivers and passenger seat

Minor cosmetic issues:
- crack in windshield in top left, not visible when driving
- a couple of minor scratches on hood (probably could be waxed or buffed out)
- on plastic bumper under rear left tail light, there is a dent/scrape (probably someone bumped it in the parking lot)
- there are a couple of tiny chips in the paint on the right passengers door
- Driver's seat, low on the right side almost to where the horizontal seat meets the vertical "backrest" the vinyl (leather on top, vinyl/plastic material on the side) is worn and has a few cracks in it.
- Right rear door trim fell off (still have it... about 2 feet, goes above the door handle).
- There might be a couple of other minor blemishes, but in general, the paint is in great shape, and is two-tone green and tan.

I purchased this in 2004 when it was almost new, and it has been a great, dependable car for my daughter who used it for the last 10 years as a student at CSU (undergrad and vet school). She and her husband are moving to Japan this week, and can't take it with them, so I am selling it for her. Please respond to me via e-mail, or feel free to call me if you have any questions. I am not interested in talking to any dealers, period

Ford bringing 10 custom Transit Connects to SEMA

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

With 57 vehicles planned for its SEMA display, it comes as little surprise that Ford has plenty of teasers for its show cars. After showing us what it has in store for the Mustang, Fiesta and Focus ST, now we're getting a look at some of the custom creations based on the redesigned 2014 Transit Connect van.
These nine Transit Connects are decked out to various degrees of customization, but our favorite might be the chopped and lowered Transit Connect from Mob Steel (shown above), which has a similar slammed stance that we see on some custom VW Buses. On the opposite extreme, LGE & CTS Motorsports has jacked up a Transit Connect to make a Cross Country cruiser that we wouldn't mind taking on a road trip.
There are seven other teasers from various companies, and you can check them all out in the gallery above or in the press release below. Ford is also promising a tenth Transit Connect for SEMA, so stay tuned for that as well.

Ford C-Max Commercial Brings Cadillac 'Poolside' Ad Down To Earth

Thu, Mar 27 2014

If we had tried to predict the first video response to the controversial Poolside video for the Cadillac ELR, we would not have thought it would center on compost. But, hey, it's always nice to be reminded that the real world is sometimes better than fiction. Instead of the chic swagger of 'Poolside,' 'Anything Is Possible' is all about getting dirty. The new short in question is called Upside: Anything Is Possible and it promotes two things: Detroit Dirt and the Ford C-Max Energi. As in the ELR ad, Ford's plug-in C-Max only makes an appearance at the tail end of the spot, but instead of the chic swagger of Poolside, Anything Is Possible is all about getting dirty. The ad stars Pashon Murray, co-founder of Detroit Dirt, which takes natural waste from around Detroit, composts it into soil and then spreads that around "forgotten parcels" of Detroit to create urban farms. Detroit Dirt gets its bio-waste from a lot of sources, including the Detroit Zoological Society (all that herbivore manure has to go somewhere), Ford and General Motors, but this particular ad was the idea of Ford's PR agency, Team Detroit. It was a frenetic shoot, filmed with an LA-based director right after a big winter storm blew through Detroit, and Murray couldn't be happier with the result. "This was Ford Motor Company pushing my story, letting me tell the story that I believe in," Murray tells AutoblogGreen. "I get to help push this car and I get to tell my story." She says that the Team Detroit and Ford had to agree on the message, "from my understanding, [YouTube] is where they wanted to start, not where they wanted to finish." The ad is already getting a positive response on Twitter, so we won't be surprised if it shows up in more places soon. "It's not saying Ford is better than GM. It's telling the story of a black woman who's working hard in Detroit." As Detroit Dirt has off-screen support from both GM and Ford, it's unsurprising to hear Murray say that the video "is not a rivalry thing." She notes that the ad agency Team Detroit came to her and offered to tell the Detroit Dirt story using the framework of the GM ad. "It's a parody on this commercial, but it's not saying Ford is better than GM," she said. "It's telling the story of a black woman who's working hard in Detroit." What is that story? It's about urban farming, recovery and recycling. Murray tells us that for the last seven or eight years, she's been dedicated to sustainability.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.
