Clean Carfax.

This truck runs great. New engine installed at my local Ford dealer. The engine has a 3 year, unlimited mileage warranty which is transferable to the next owner (approximately 2 1/2 years left on the warranty) and is good at ANY Ford dealer. Some might question my price but you're getting a low mileage truck with almost zero miles on the new engine and a 2 1/2 year warranty on the engine. That's almost what you get by spending $30,000 - $40,000 more on a new truck....that's quite a few dollars left in your pocket.

While they were replacing the engine and were already in the engine compartment, I had them replace the exhaust manifolds, starter, and radiator too. There is a lot less labor involved when the engine is out of the way.

Clean rocker panels and cab corners. One minor item, visible in the pictures above is that a small piece of plastic is missing from the honeycomb front grill. It does not affect anything and I do not notice it but I also do not hide items from potential buyers.

It's a great buy on a clean used super crew with a new engine. I love driving it. It runs great. Only 131k miles on the rest of the truck...still young.

For those that want the rest of the story.... I bought the truck last August. Shortly after purchasing it, a noise started out of the bottom end of the engine. It turned out that someone in the recent past had removed the oil pan and done some work to hide that the original engine had trouble (per both my mechanic and the Ford mechanics).
Check out my seller ratings and you will see that I am not the kind of person that will stick someone else with a problem so I went the route of having the engine properly replaced by a Ford dealer.
Our downstairs heating system went out and replacing that is a higher priority than keeping my truck (I know, I should get my priorities straight). At the moment, I cannot afford to both replace the HVAC system AND keep the truck, especially after all the money I put into it. I'll be taking a loss on the truck but still, it's money in the pocket to pay the other cost.

Other than the transferable engine warranty, there are no other warranties. $500 deposit due within 24 hours. Balance due within 7 days. If you decide to have it shipped, I will make myself available for your shipper when they come to pick it up.

Ford F-150 RaptorTrax is Ken Block's ultimate snowmobile

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Even when Ken Block isn't starring in the latest Gymkhana video or tearing up Global RallyCross courses, he's finding new ways to redefine "awesome" as it applies to motorsports. For evidence of this, look no further than Block's latest Monster-badged creation, the Ford F-150 RaptorTrax.
Billed as the "world's fastest snowcat," the RaptorTrax started life as a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, and then a set of Mattracks were put in place where the truck's bead-locked wheels and meaty rubber once resided. The goal was to create a truck that made it easier - and presumably more fun - for Block and his buddies to hit the slopes on their snowboards. Aside from the obvious track upgrades, this truck also received a Whipple supercharger, full roll cage, Recaro seats, an in-bed snowboard rack, a roof basket and a rear-mounted winch - you know, just in case something or someone actually manages to get this truck stuck.
The RaptorTrax will be on display later this week at the Winter X Games in Apsen, CO, but we'll have to wait until next winter for a full Block-worthy video of the truck. A full press release from Hoonigan Racing Division is posted below, and a high-res image can be found by clicking above.

Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene

Tue, 13 May 2014

Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla details factory expansion; Ford and SunPower raise money for Sierra Club

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Tesla has revealed the details of the upgrade of its Fremont, CA factory. One major change is the addition of a dedicated production space for the dual-motor P85D version of the Model S. Robots will be doing the battery installation on the Model S to save some time, and new export docks allow Tesla to get the cars out the door and on the way to their new owners more quickly. The new robots that move the cars around the factory have been named after X-Men characters, which makes our inner geeks smile. Check out the factory upgrade in the time-lapse video below and read more at Teslarati or at the Tesla Motors Blog. A program in Beijing for privileged registrations for EVs hasn't had much success. Of the 1,424 lottery winners, only about 30 percent went on to register an electric car despite a two-month extension of the deadline to do so. Buyers are likely discouraged by the lack of charging infrastructure, which the city hopes to ameliorate with the addition of 1,000 new charging stations by the end of the year, and by requiring new and renovated developments to set aside parking specifically for EV charging. Read more at Green Car Reports. The UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies suggests that laws designed to protect dealers and consumers are stymieing the adoption of EVs. Laws like the ones certain states have in place that block or otherwise restrict Tesla's direct-to-consumer business model are not helpful for companies that want to introduce new products to the market. They prevent companies from passing on savings to customers for whom they would likely make the difference in a purchasing decision. One possible solution would be to allow exemptions to certain selling restrictions for a certain number of vehicles sold. "This could give automakers the degree of control needed to work out kinks with early customers, develop scalable processes for supporting PEVs, and ensure that effective dealer performance standards are in place before handing the reins over to wholly independent retailers," according to UC Davis ITS. Read more at the UC Davis website. Volkswagen says its environmental program, called "Think Blue. Factory," is meeting the automaker's own sustainability targets. The main purpose of the program is to move toward eco-friendlier carmaking at each of its plants worldwide.
