This is a nice truck. I bought it two years ago as a 4X4 for going into the mountains to fish and camp. It has never been abused or over-extended as a four wheel drive vehicle. It has the 5.8L gas engine, automatic OD trans, and 3.55 rear axle. The tall axle ratio does not hinder offroad travel at all since there is still low range to use.With the 3.55 gears the truck can average 14-14.5 MPG on the open road at 70-75 MPH all day. It is by far the nicest riding, smoothest handling 4X4 I have ever driven!
The heater and AC work very well, and I have installed a heater bypass for the summer season to aid the efficiency of the AC. Interior is in about a 7-8 /10 condition, with 2 small burn spots in headliner but not tears or stains in the captains chair seats or rear seat. It has remote adjust mirrors, dual visors each side, and auto day-night rear view as well.
The truck is on AMSOIL synthetics in the engine, transfer case, and rear diff, I have not done a fluid change on the trans or front diff yet. I just replaced the EGR valve and control solenoid and the DPFE. Also recently replaced one O2 sensor. All systems check out and I will do a smog "check" only for buyer if needed.
Tires are Yokohama Geolanders with about 10K miles on them. They are a great combination on/off road tire and are quiet and great in wet road conditions. Bed is in excellent condition and has Rhino liner sprayed-on coating with bedrail coverage as well. The shell is a shell. Windows need new seals, but slide nicely and latch. It keeps the dust out on the dirt roads.
I've decided to sell the truck because I need another diesel dually and don't have the room for 2 trucks in my wallet.
This is a no returns auction sale, and vehicle is sold as-is, where-is. Buyer will be responsible for pick up or shipping at their cost. I can make a couple referrals if needed.
Thanks for looking and good luck.

Some additional info........
In the two years that I have owned this truck, in addition to what I have mentioned above, I have replaced all the coolant hoses, water pump, Alternator, battery, serp belt, and water temp sensor for the ECU. It also has a K&N air filter and a racer's style "cold air kit", see pics.
Brakes are great, front wheel bearings checked last year and are fine.
So...... bid on. I hope this may answer any questions you had, but if not please ask.
Thanks.

Jay Leno is far beyond driven in his 1971 Pantera
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Perhaps it's fitting that the band Pantera is known for its heavy metal music, because the DeTomaso Pantera is the automotive equivalent of a metal album. It's short, aggressive and makes a mean sound. It doesn't mess around either, with a Ford 351-cubic-inch (5.75-liter) V8 sending mountains of torque to the rear wheels. This week, Jay Leno takes us on a detailed tour of his '71 to show why it rocks.
There's a regular format to Jay Leno's Garage. It starts with Jay and maybe a guest taking a look at the car and talking about its history, and then they take it out on the open road. However, this video is practically a Pantera buyer's guide. Jay is adamant from the start that the last thing anyone should own is a stock example. To remedy this, he and his guest, the editor of the Pantera Club magazine, take viewers to school about some of the ways to turn them into even better performance machines.
No matter what you do to it, though, the Pantera requires that the driver adapt to it, not the other way around. For example, Jay isn't a big guy by most standards, but he has to cram himself into the cockpit with his shoes off and shirt partially unbuttoned just to go for a drive. Still, once out on the road, it all makes sense with that rumbling V8 and those Italian supercar looks. Scroll down to watch and learn a lot more about this uncompromising '70s performance car.
EPA says fuel economy test for hybrids is accurate
Mon, 26 Aug 2013
The EPA says it stands behind its fuel economy test for hybrid vehicles following controversy about the testing process after Ford C-Max Hybrid customers and automotive journalists alike struggled to achieve 47 miles per gallon, the advertised mpg number, Automotive News reports. Ford responded to the issue almost two weeks ago by claiming that a 1970s-era EPA general label rule was responsible for the inaccurate mileage numbers, rerating the C-Max Hybrid's mpg numbers and offering customers rebates. Ford later said it didn't overstate the C-Max Hybrid's fuel economy and that it was surprised by the low numbers.
Ford technically didn't do anything wrong because it was following the general label rule, but agency regulator Christopher Grundler says the automaker was exploiting a loophole when it came up with the hybrid C-Max numbers, and that the testing process remains accurate. The general label rule allows vehicles that use the same engine and transmission and are in the same weight class to share fuel economy numbers, but it doesn't take into account other factors such as aerodynamic efficiency, which affects hybrids more drastically than non-hybrid vehicles. Ford originally used the Fusion Hybrid economy figures for the C-Max Hybrid and claimed the engineers didn't realize that its aerodynamic efficiency would affect fuel economy as much as it did.
Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.
