Thanks for looking! Up for sale is my 2001 FORD F-350 XLT WITH THE 7.3L POWERSTROKE DIESEL ENGINE. I am the original owner and the truck has served me very well over the past 13 years! The truck has ONLY 158500 MILES, has always been a NON SMOKING vehicle, has NEVER PLOWED, and has ONLY OCCASIONALLY TOWED a small 4000 lb. boat trailer. The exterior of the truck is in very good condition with minimal rust at the bottom of the cab (see pictures) and underneath where the running boards attach. There are only a few minor dings in the body. The entire box bed I had replaced and painted two years ago and is perfect! The chrome bumpers are original and in excellent shape. The interior seats have been covered since new and are literally like new underneath. The cup holder trim on the dash snapped off years ago but the holder is still functional. The power windows all work and the power locks work from the inside of the truck but only the driver's side front and rear work from remote. I do have both keys and remotes. The front windshield has a chip near the rearview mirror, but I will have that replaced before the successful bidder takes the truck. The front tires are decent but the rears will need replacing within 5000 miles. The ball joints were replaced at 130000 miles and the front end is tight and the truck is a pleasure to drive. Batteries were replaced 1 1/2 years ago and the alternator was replaced last year. 4 wheel drive works well but the hubs need to be locked and unlocked manually.

Overall a great truck I hate to see go, but I have to make room for the new 2014 I drove home last week! I have a reasonable reserve on the truck and please note that the vehicle is available for sale locally as well. Any local sale will take precedent over this listing.

Thanks again, and please contact me with any questions you may have.

Ford recalls nearly 1.3 million Fusions, Lincoln MKZs for brake hose leaks

Thu, Mar 16 2023

Ford Motor is recalling nearly 1.3 million Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans built from the 2013 through 2018 model years because their front brake hoses may rupture and leak brake fluid, which could affect stopping ability and increase the risk of a crash. The company notified the National Highway and Transportation Safety Administration and says that in the event a leak occurs, the brake fluid warning light may illuminate on the instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. Dealers will replace the front brake hoses, free of charge, and notification letters to owners are to be mailed in mid-April. A second letter will be mailed once replacement parts are available. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 23S12. The vehicles affected were manufactured between Feb. 3, 2012, and July 19, 2017. In mid-2020, Ford recalled 488,594 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX SUVs for a similar problem regarding leaking brake lines. Recalls Ford Lincoln Safety

National Geographic Channel balances Ford F-150 on four coffee mugs

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Proving that there is still something to be learned on television these days, National Geographic Channel recently introduced a new series called Duck Quacks Don't Echo. On the first episode of this science/comedy show, host Michael Ian Black proposes the idea that a truck can be supported with a ceramic coffee mug under each wheel - yes, he says that the entire weight of a truck can be balanced on just four coffee mugs.
Looking to find out whether this is fact or myth, the show uses a regular cab Ford F-150, weighing in at 4,800 pounds, and four average coffee mugs. Lowered onto the mugs, the idea is quickly put to the test. Can the cups hold up under 4,800 pounds? If so, what, exactly, would it take to break them? Scroll down below to find out.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
