Up for auction is a 1997 Ford F250 HD with a 7.5L 460 cu in gas engine and automatic transmission with overdrive. The truck is a retired city parks and recreation vehicle. The low miles represented are accurate. The vehicle was minimally used to transport trailers with livestock and utility vehicles during city events.


For the year, the vehicle is in very good condition. The interior is clean with a vinyl bench seat and vinyl floor mat. The dash is crack free. The instrument cluster works as expected and an AM/FM Stereo with door speakers functions normally.

The engine has ample power for pulling larger trailers and the transmission shifts normally.

The body is in good condition overall. Typical scratches and dents in the bed and some on the body. A 5th wheel receiver hitch with removable ball is securely mounted in the bed, with a standard rear mount receiver hitch below the factory bumper. A 8-plug and 4-plug trailer wire harness is mounted in the factory bumper to the right of the license plate.

The roof mounted amber light bar is operational and mounted to the factory drip rails. Easy to remove if you don't want it.

Only reason for selling is I inherited a newer year Dodge truck last week and I don't need 2 trucks.

Tags good through 12/2013, Registration good through 07/2014

Dual 18 gallon fuel tanks with dash mounted switch provide plenty of fuel capacity for longer trips.

Tires have about 40% tread remaining. Spare tire is in tact under bed.

Actual mileage may be slightly higher at time of purchase as the truck is used regularly for errands.

KBB value when correct options are selected (eBay defaults are wrong) is $7,511 in Excellent condition, $6386 in Fair condition. Truck is in good condition and priced below Fair condition at the starting price.

V6 engines will outpace V8s for the 2015 Ford F-150

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

How times have changed. Even five years ago, who would have thought the mighty V8 would be just another engine choice for buyers of the 2015 Ford F-150?
Ford is projecting about 28 percent of the next-generation trucks will have the 5.0-liter V8. That's nothing to sneeze at, but consider this: Ford figures its two EcoBoost truck engines - the new 2.7-liter V6 and the existing 3.5-liter V6 - will also each account for about 28 percent of the F-150's sales (56 percent total). That leaves only 15 percent of the pie for the 3.5-liter (non-EcoBoost) V6. The new F-150 goes on sale late this year.

Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
