Condition

Drivetrain

Engine starts up and runs strong and smooth as you would expect.  4.0L V6 engine with automatic transmission and 4-wheel drive.  Only 12k miles.  No engine knocking, smoking, or dripping leaks. Shifts into and through all gears smoothly as it should.  Has powerful acceleration and cruises at highway speed.  Has been fleet serviced since new.  Recent Service: new battery, all fluids have been changed.  Extended Warranty covers drive train components only.

Exterior     

Paint has all of its shine and glistens in the sun as you can see.  This was a fleet/municipal vehicle and as such, does have some minor physical blemishes.  There are nicks, chips, scratches, dings, and other minor blemishes in a few spots around the body.  There is a scratch on the rear right side door and some scuffs on the front left side bumper edge.  There is some paintwork on the doors and tailgate where decals were removed.  Overall nice looking truck as you can see.  Please keep in mind this is not new but still a nice low mileage specimen.   

Interior

Interior is in very good condition with minimal wear.  There may be a few tiny holes drilled in some of the console panels where electronics were mounted.  Seats and floor are in like-new condition with no rips or significant wear.  A/C blows cold.  Radio and other devices work fine as they should.  SRS light is on due to a faulty seat track sensor.  The RSC light periodically comes on if starting up on uneven terrain.  This pertains to the anti-roll feature that applies braking if you corner too hard.  It doesn't affect performance of vehicle and has only come on a few times.  No evidence or smoking or pets.  Fresh and clean inside.   

Wheels and Tires

·  Tires have approximately 50%+ tread remaining.  Full set of factory alloy rims. 

I have test driven approximately 200 miles and assessed the overall condition of the vehicle to the best of my ability.  Known defects have been noted, but there may be repairs required and additional defects beyond what is listed.  Please keep in mind this is a salvage/rebuilt vehicle with previous flood damage history.  As I recommend to all my customers, you should have your mechanic look over any newly purchased vehicle before extensive use.  I have tried to list as many details about this vehicle as I can, including known defects.  Please keep in mind this was a gov't vehicle and may have greater wear and tear than normal vehicle.  There may be deficiencies that I am not aware of so buyers are encouraged to inspect in person.  If you are local I encourage and welcome you to come down and check out the truck for yourself or have an independent inspection completed PRIOR to bidding.  There will be no price adjustments or sale cancellations for failure to do so.  IT IS THE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK QUESTIONS AND/OR INSPECT THE VEHICLE BEFORE BIDDING AND PURCHASE.  FAILURE OF THE BUYER TO DO SO DOES NOT CONSTITUTE NON-DISCLOSURE OF DEFECTS ON THE SELLERS PART.  I am happy to answer any questions so feel free to e-mail me or call.

Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma top ASG list of most eco-friendly trucks

Mon, Mar 31 2014

No one's going to confuse the massively popular Ford F-150 pickup truck with a green vehicle, but at least it performs well in an environmental sense when compared to its brethren. The Automotive Science Group (ASG) took on the odd (to us, at least) task of measuring which pickup trucks are friendliest to the environment and found that the big seller in the Blue Oval's flagship F-series came up big, while the Toyota Tacoma came up, well, slightly smaller. That's a good thing. Among the 245 light-duty trucks that ASG studied, the 3.7-liter V6-powered F-150 won ASG's award for full-size trucks for both regular and crew cabs. Meanwhile, the 2.7-liter Toyota Tacoma, with its fuel-economy rating of 23 miles per gallon combined, had smallest overall life-cycle carbon footprint and won ASG's two mid-sized categories. Finally, the Chevrolet Silverado won best all-around performance in the full-size extended-cab category. The ASG factored in eco-friendliness, price and social performance (which is measured by, "considering the rights of those charged with vehicle manufacture and assembly") to come up with its findings. Sales of Ford's F-Series trucks rose 8.4 percent last year to 74,592 units and accounted for more than a third of the total 2013 sales of Ford and its Lincoln unit. Check out the ASG's press release below. Truck Buyers Faced With "Eco" Options Galore Which 2014 full-size trucks warrant eco claims? 25 March 2014 [Santa Rosa, CA] – With a myriad of eco-branded trucks hitting the North American marketplace in 2014 – from Ford's EcoBoost and GM's EcoTec3 to Ram's latest addition, the EcoDiesel – the Automotive Science Group (ASG) was prompted to offer an objective, scientifically-based assessment to determine exactly which 2014 trucks actually earn their "eco" badge. According to ASG and the principles of ecological economics, a vehicle's eco-rating must be multi-faceted to include both environmental and economic considerations, and so the Group's proprietary rating platform – the Automotive Performance Index – does just that. Using a unique combination of vehicle data inputs that include conventional specifications as well as social, environmental and economic performance indicators, ASG's vehicle assessments empower consumers to make choices based on one's personal principles and financial requisites.

Ford hurt by 2015 F-150 production restraints

Tue, Mar 10 2015

The new 2015 Ford F-150 came out of the gate strong for January 2015 with all F-Series sales up 17 percent for the month. However, February tempered those gains a bit with the model line dipping 1.2 percent, and the Ford brand itself dropped 1.7 percent year-over-year. The fall is being blamed in part on tight supply of the latest pickup. A major factor holding back the 2015 F-150 is that they are only currently being made at the Dearborn Truck Plant. The Kansas City factory is still changing over, and full supply from them both is expected by the middle of the year. Ford also just announced plans to hire an extra 1,550 people to build the pickups, including 900 in Kansas City. However, the downtime in the assembly changeover has caused about 90,000 units in lost production since mid-2014, according to The Detroit Free Press. It's not all bad news for the pickup, though. The latest F-150 made up 21 percent of F-Series sales in February, according to The Detroit Free Press, up from 18 percent in the previous month, and they remained on dealer lots an average of 18 days. The lessened supply has also meant lower incentives. Mark LaNeve, Ford's US marketing boss, told the Free Press that average F-150 transaction prices were up $2,000 from last year. He also indicated that retail figures grew seven percent in February, while F-Series fleet numbers were down 18 percent. The constrained supply does come at an inopportune time for Ford, though. This year is expected to be huge for pickups. Also, lower gas prices appear to be pushing people towards SUVs and trucks recently. Related Video:
