I am regrettably putting up for sale my 2000 Ford F-350 XLT SuperCab Long Bed. It is fitted with the 7.3l Power Stroke diesel engine, ZF-6 manual transmission and 4x4. I am the third owner of this truck, and have a clean Californian title in hand. The truck is not perfect, but isn’t far from it.
The vehicle is mostly stock, and has been meticulously maintained – I have the receipts for all mechanical work completed under my ownership, and the previous owner. I have used the truck to carry my motorcycles around – the previous owner used it to tow a 8000lb race car trailer. To the previous owners or my knowledge, the engine has never been chipped or towed a 5th wheel.
Truck would make a great work/farm truck, expedition vehicle, base for a camper or tow rig. There is probably not a more reliable Ford Truck ever made than a 7.3 with 6 speed transmission.
As long as I stay under 70mph, I get around 19mpg on the highway.
Vehicle modifications/options
- Front lift/leveling kit (2.5” lift)
- Carpet delete interior (hose out floors)
- Towing mirrors
- Clear head lights from a 2005 truck
- Drop in bed liner
- 18” MB Wheels Aluminum rims fitted with 275/70 R18 highway tires
- 4” turbo back straight pipe – as vehicle was not originally fitted with a cat, passes emissions
- Pioneer head unit with a blue tooth car kit to stream music/cell phone calls
- Warn Premium manual hubs
- Class IV trailer hitch
- Camper package (sway bar/overload springs)
- Hayes trailer brake controller
- Tinted Windows
Recent maintenance
- New clutch and clutch system (within 2000 miles) – Ford clutch, master and slave cylinder, machined fly-wheel
- Full synthetic fluid changes on engine, transmission and differentials (within 2000 miles) – I have only used Royal Purple synthetic in the truck since owning it.
- Ball Joints (greasable Moogs) around 15,000 miles ago
- New Batteries (about 10,000 miles ago)
- New Alternator (about 10,000 miles ago)
- New tires (about 10,000 miles ago ~80% wear left)
- New rear springs (less than 1,000 miles ago)
- Brakes (about 25,000 miles ago ~70% wear left on pads)
- New front hubs/wheel bearings (about 15,000 miles ago)
- New parking brake cables and assembly (about 10,000 miles ago)
- Front driveshaft completely re-built (about 15,000 miles ago)
- New passenger door window motor (about 5,000 miles ago)
Interior is in good condition, some small discoloration marks here and there if you look close, but nothing major.
Exterior looks great from ~15ft, but if you get close, it does have some rock chips and scratches on the clear coat. There are also two small dings, one on the front bumper, and another (hardly noticeable) on the front passenger side fender which you can see in the photos.
Other things of note is; the power door locks don’t currently work – there is a relatively straight forward (and cheap) fix for them, but I have never needed/wanted them, so didn’t bother, the rear main seal on the engine weeps a bit, it’s not really noticeable apart from the fact that if you park in the same spot all the time it may leave a drop or 2 of oil. Apart from that, all other electrics are working great and the A/C blows (very) cold.

Rivian R1T, Mini Cooper Electric owners happiest with their EVs
Tue, Feb 28 2023The J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Experience (EVX) Ownership Study is out, and there's change at the top. With the swelling adoption of electric vehicles in the U.S. over in the past two years especially, the third year of the EVX study changes focus to first-time EV buyers. Those two factors encouraged change at the top of both premium and mass-market segments. Among premium EVs, the Rivian R1T pickup scored overall victory in its first year of eligibility with a satisfaction score of 794 out of 1,000. The Tesla Model 3 takes second place with 759 points. Tesla had won the top two premium spots in the study in 2021 and in 2022. The average score in the premium segment was 756. The Tesla Model Y (754), Audi E-Tron (735), and Polestar 2 (724) filled out the list of the five eligible models this year. Among the ten eligible mass-market vehicles, the Mini Cooper Electric nabbed the overall win by scoring 782. The Kia EV6 came second with 762 points, keeping Kia in the top two; the Kia Niro EV won the mass-market segment the previous two years. The Ford Mustang Mach-E (742), Hyundai Ioniq 5 (738), and Volkswagen ID.4 (735) completed the top five, the Niro EV (733) in sixth. All were above the segment average of 730. The four models fell below the segment average were the Ford F-150 Lightning (723), Chevrolet Bolt EUV (716), Chevrolet Bolt (711), and Nissan Leaf (698). How are the scores derived? J.D. Power worked with EV app maker and research firm PlugShare to get owner responses in ten areas: accuracy of stated battery range; availability of public charging stations; battery range; cost of ownership; driving enjoyment; ease of charging at home; interior and exterior styling; safety and technology features; service experience; and vehicle quality and reliability. Brent Gruber, executive director of the EV practice at J.D. Power, said, "Recent vehicle launches from both new brands and traditional automakers have had a profound effect on what factors are most important in the ownership experience. Today’s EV owners are looking for quality, reliability, driving enjoyment, safety and technology features." The Mini, in fact, scored highest of any premium and mass-market EV in the studyÂ’s highest-weighted index factor, quality and reliability.
Ford Mustang Mach-E fails Sweden's moose test
Wed, Sep 29 2021The infamous moose test has claimed another casualty. This time it's the Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD Long Range, which was tested in an electric four-way alongside the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Skoda Enyaq iV (an electric utility vehicle closely related to the Volkswagen ID.4 that is sold in the United States). According to the Swedish testers at Teknikens Varld, Ford's electric car not only failed to hit the speed necessary for a passing grade, it didn't perform well at slower speeds, either. To pass the outlet's moose test, a car has to complete a rapid left-right-straight S-shaped pattern marked by cones at a speed of at least 72 km/h (44.7 miles per hour). The test is designed to mimic the type of avoidance maneuver a driver would have to take in order to avoid hitting something that wandered into the road, which in Sweden may be a moose but could just as easily be a deer or some other member of the animal kingdom elsewhere in the world, or possibly a child or car backing into the motorway. Not only is the maneuver very aggressive, it's also performed with weights belted into each seat and more weight added to the cargo area to hit the vehicle's maximum allowable carrying capacity. The Mustang Mach-E only managed to complete the moose test at 68 km/h (42.3 mph), well below the passing-grade threshold. Even at much lower speeds, Teknikens Varld says the Mach-E (which boasts the highest carrying capacity and was therefore loaded with more weight than the rest of the vehicles tested in this quartet) is "too soft in the chassis" and suffers from "too slow steering." Proving that it is indeed possible to pass the test, the Hyundai and Skoda completed the maneuver at the 44.7-mph figure required for a passing grade and the Tesla did it at 46.6 mph, albeit with less weight in the cargo area. It's not clear whether other versions of the Mustang Mach-E would pass the test. It's also unknown if Ford will make any changes to its chassis tuning or electronic stability control software, as some other automakers have done after a poor performance from Teknikens Varld, to improve its performance in the moose test.

Junkyard Gem: 1973 Mercury Marquis Brougham 4-Door Pillared Hardtop
Tue, Nov 7 2023Ford's Mercury Division debuted the Marquis in the 1967 model year, as a sporty coupe based on a stretched Ford LTD chassis. When the LTD got an update for 1969, so did the Marquis, and production of that generation of the top-of-the-line Mercury continued through 1978 (the Grand Marquis hit streets the following year). The 1969-1978 Marquis was a big, imposing land yacht, and the Brougham version came absolutely loaded with affordable luxury. Today's Junkyard Gem is a Marquis Brougham from the first year of the Malaise Era, found in a Phoenix self-service car graveyard recently. This car appears to have spent decades sitting outdoors in one of the harshest climates in the country, and so it's in rough shape. The vinyl top received the full thermonuclear treatment and is mostly obliterated by now. The interior got thoroughly cooked as well. Still, its original opulence shines through if you use some imagination. What hurts is that this car was packed with most of the good options, including the mighty 460-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 engine with four-barrel carburetor. The price for the 460 was just $76 in this car, or around $548 in today's money. The base engine was a 429 (7.0-liter). Power numbers were way down for 1973 when compared to a couple of years earlier, partly as the result of tightening emissions standards but mostly due to the switch from gross to net power ratings that began midway during 1971 and was completed by the end of 1972. This engine was rated at 202 horsepower and 330 pound-feet. The only transmission available was a three-speed automatic. We can assume that the original buyer of this car and its single-digit fuel economy had a rough time when the OPEC oil embargo hit in the fall of 1973. Believe it or not, air conditioning was not standard equipment on the '73 Marquis Brougham (you had to move up to a Lincoln for that). This one even has the automatic temperature control feature, adding a total of $508 to the cost of this car (about $3,661 in 2023 dollars). That AM/FM/8-track radio—or, in fact, any radio—was an extra-cost option as well, with a price tag of $363 ($2,616 after inflation). The MSRP for the 1973 Marquis Brougham sedan (known as a "pillared hardtop" thanks to the frameless window glass) was $5,072, which comes to $36,555 in today's dollars. Obviously, its out-the-door cost would have been much higher with all the options.
