Where to start- at the beginning I suppose. This vehicle was sent from the dealer to an approved Ford up fitter for
4x4 conversion- Clydesdale 4x4- utilizing all Ford components from '05+ model F-350 4x4: axles, T-case, springs
(coils), etc. The van was sold to the first owner to transport people in it's original 15 seat configuration. After
2 years, an individual purchased it for a very few months in hopes of building it into an Expedition rig, which he
quickly realized was a bigger endeavor than he felt comfortable undertaking. Then, having an uncle with a Ford
dealership, we purchased the van through him to extend the factory bumper to bumper warranty a year, and the
driveline/powertrain warranty to 100k miles, and she only sits at 39k miles now!!
So, first the base truck: '13 E-350 EB 15 seat XLT, MSRP $49,979
-6.8 V-10, super tough and reliable
-5 speed automatic transmission with Tow/Haul
-4.10 max tow package with integrated brake controller
-reverse backing sensors
-running boards, privacy glass, and remote locking
Total to this point = $71,314
The second owner also had all the sills wrapped in clear vinyl, and entire truck rustproofed using Waxoyl- the best
available and very expensive as they start with entire steam clean of the underside!!
Then, on to my additions, which began with complete Ford 30k mile service and checkpoint to be approved for the
factory extended warranty. Finally the build as follows:
-Front bumper modified to incorporate Sterling Equipment (supplier for Florida Fish and Wildlife) HD brush guard
and winch mount
-new Ironman winch with remote
-Aluminess rear tire carrier
-Aluminess roof rack & side later. Rack has rear rollers and extra Yakima cross bars for boat cradles, etc
-5/ new Toyo AT-II tires, E rated, 34" 285/75-17
-upgraded head unit withUSB, Blue Tooth, and screen
-hard wired rear camera
-remote start
-removed 2nd and 3rd row seats to fit reclining Siena seats with leg rest (all orig seats included)
-custom brackets for Siena seats utilizing factory floor mounts
-8' rubber mat in rear to protect factory carpet
-rear LED light on separate circuit
-front LED fog lights on separate circuit
-front LED bar (with spot light provision) on separate circuit
-graphics are vinyl, and easily removable

Ford F-150 King Ranch celebrates 'history and authenticity' for 2015 [w/video]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014What's life like on an authentic Texas ranch? We honestly have no idea, having never lived on such a ranch, but we imagine it requires lots of hard work, grit and determination to keep all 825,000 acres - that's larger than the state of Rhode Island - of the King Ranch in Texas under control. Indeed, a total of 350 vehicles, all of which come from Ford, we're told, are currently in use by the ranch. No wonder, then, that the collaboration between Ford and King Ranch has lasted for 15 successful years.
For 2015, in celebration of that 15th anniversary, Ford is debuting three new King Ranch models today at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The most significant is the 2015 F-150 King Ranch, which, naturally, will add unique interior and exterior bits and pieces to the new aluminum-intensive F-Series pickup. Color choices will consist of Caribou, Bronze Fire, Guard and Ruby Red Metallic Clearcoat, with a range of two-tones to go along with a monochromatic scheme in Caribou. Inside, a bespoke King Ranch interior will be swathed in Premium Mesa Brown leather.
Joining the F-150 King Ranch on dealership floors later this year will be 2015 King Ranch editions of the Super Duty pickup and Expedition fullsize SUV, all of which will offer similar levels of content. Scroll down for more details and two videos from Ford, and be sure to check out the high-res image gallery above, which was shot by the official State Photographer of Texas, Wyman Meinzer.
XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.
2015 Ford F-150 to get 2.7-liter EcoBoost?
Mon, 30 Dec 2013As we prepare for the arrival of the all-new, next-generation Ford F-150, rumors about the new truck are picking up steam. Naturally, many of said rumors aren't just related to the way the truck will look (it's expected to take design cues from the Atlas concept shown above), they're tied to what's going to motivate the Blue Oval mainstay, with Ford's EcoBoost range likely to play an increasingly key role. While we're still expecting the current 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 to retain its position as a premium alternative to Ford's naturally aspirated V6 and V8, a Canadian automotive news site is proposing that the Dearborn automaker is also preparing a new, more fuel-efficient downsized EcoBoost option.
Autos.ca is reporting that a new, 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 could find its way into the lighter, aluminum-intensive truck. The new engine supposedly makes use of asymmetrical turbos to generate 320 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque - substantially more impressive numbers than the current 3.7-liter base engine's 302 ponies and 278 lb-ft - while offering improved fuel economy and emissions. The new 2.7 EcoBoost (internally dubbed "Nano") isn't expected to supplant the naturally aspirated V6 as the F-150's base engine, it's expected to slot in above directly it.
Naturally, we're prescribing more than a few grains of salt to go with these rumors, at least until Ford debuts the next F-150 at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, a reveal we'll be covering in a mere two weeks.
