Hi you are looking at a 1985 Ford F250 Dually pickup. The truck has been painted but it is not the best paint job from a distance the truck look good but up close you can see some flaws and some runs also there is some poor body work down below the tailights i took a picture so that you can see it. The truck has a 460 engine and 4 speed manual trans. The engine runs good with the exception of it backfires through the carb when throttle is at 3/4 and is trying to flood a little. I talked to a local mechanic and he thinks that the problem sounde like it might be in the carb that it might need to be cleaned because i let the truck set for about a month without starting it or it might need the timing adjusted, but no guarantee that this is the problem the trans shifts good. The truck came with dual tanks but the previous owner took the front tank off and ran a new line from the fuel pump to the rear tank, the front tank is included and all it needs is a new fuel sending unit and it could be put back on. The tank selector valve is still mounted under the truck and could be hooked back up but i dont know if it works or not. The fuel level guage is not working so id say the rear tank could also use a new sending unit. The tires are in fair condition they should be fine for a while before needing replaced. The previous owner put alot of new parts on the truck including a new clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder, clutch kit, new edelbrock carb, new chrome air cleaner, msd distributor cap front engine cover, and fuel pump, the battery in the truck is less than a year old. The truck frame is in good condition. the interior is in good condition with the exception of the dash being cracked pretty bad and the rubber floor mat has been cut some around the shifter. The truck has a gooseneck ball installed and electric brake box installed. The passenger side window has some specks on the outside you can feel with you hand but really cant haedly see them. The truck has a homemade gooseneck tailgate on it but it does look pretty good. I have tried to describe the truck the best i can with the good and the bad but if i didnt mention something that you would like to know please feel free to email me with any questions. The truck is sold as is where is with no warranty. buyer is responsible for local pickup. Thanks Tim

Best and worst car brands of 2022 according to Consumer Reports

Thu, Feb 17 2022

It's that time again, Consumer Reports this morning lifting the curtain on its 2022 Annual Car Brand rankings and its 10 Top Picks in the car, crossover, and truck category. Drumroll, please: This year, Subaru climbs two spots to claim the winner's circle, having come third the last two years. Last year, Mazda climbed three spots from 2020 to take the crown. This year, Mazda slipped to second, BMW taking the last spot on the podium, also a one-spot drop from 2021. Six automakers in the top 10 hailed from Japan, which is one more than last year, and five luxury makers occupied the top 10, which is two more than last year. And South Korean representation didn't crack the top this year, after Hyundai managed tenth last year. The seven makes after BMW are: Honda, Lexus, Audi, Porsche, Mini, Toyota, and Infiniti.  The magazine and testing concern says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CR’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." The domestics also took steps back among the 32 OEMs ranked on the 2022 card. Chrysler and Buick were the domestic carmakers who made last year's top 10 in eighth and ninth, respectively. This year, Buick dropped to eleventh, Chrysler to thirteenth. Dodge went from fourteenth to sixteenth. CR continues to ding Tesla's yoke steerer, the not-exactly-natural handhold responsible for the electric carmaker going from sixteenth last year to twenty-third this year.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla considers Model III SUV and wagon, Ford tears Tesla apart

Mon, Oct 27 2014

Worries over Brazil's electric grid mean EVs are excluded from green car incentives. As part of a new efficiency program, non-plug-in hybrids will be eligible for a reduction in import duties, while EVs and plug-in hybrids will not. Brazil's government is concerned that the country's grid lacks the capacity to handle the increased load from an influx of EVs. Brazil plans to create a new incentive program - perhaps a more inclusive one - when the current one expires at the end of 2015. Read more at Green Car Reports. Tesla could make SUV and wagon derivatives of the upcoming Model III sedan. Tesla's VP of engineering, Chris Porritt, told Auto Express that to reach as many customers as possible, Tesla would consider all its options. "SUVs, estates - who knows?" says Porritt.
