1996 Ford F-450 Xl on 2040-cars
Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts, United States
EMAIL : DarlynBurton9k2e23@yahoo.com INTRODUCTION Up for sale is my 1996 Ford F-Super Duty (F450) 7.3L Diesel QUIGLEY4X4 with only 57K original miles. This one of a kind truck is in as would be expected of such a low mileage vehicle. As important asthe low mileage concerning the condition of this truck is the fact that thetruck has never plowed! Never! I bought this truck almost 2 years ago from thesecond owner who loved it and cared for it as well as the original owner did. Iown a very small specialty car dealer and originally purchased the truck to sellimmediately. However, this was before I drove the truck a few times andabsolutely fell in love with it. I’ve decided to now sell the truck, andreplace it with something much less special, as last year I could not bringmyself to drive it in the winter and subject it to the harsh conditions androads of the North East. To me the truck is far too nice to use for daily work.It’s exceedingly rare to find these 7.3L trucks with such low mileage thesedays. Most have been worked to 400K miles and retired or left outside to rot.What’s even more rare is to find an old body style (OBS) 7.3L with all of itsoriginal sheet metal and undercarriage in such superb condition. Take that intoaccount before considering what this particular 7.3L is; An F-Super Duty withthe famous QUIGLEY 4X4 Conversion that was installed when the truck was new.This truck is certainly one of a kind with its infamous 7.3L Diesel, 5 speedmanual transmission, QUIGLEY 4X4, and only 57K miles. I guarantee you will notfind another one like it for sale anywhere in the country and you may never seesuch a pristine example of such a rare and desirable truck ever again. These OBSFord 7.3s are quickly becoming collector’s items, and although I know in thefuture I will regret selling it, I hate to just see it sit idle in the garage.This truck de

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.
Hot Wheels Ford Transit Connect is worth more if we keep it in the box
Wed, 06 Nov 2013If the 2014 Transit Connect is anything like it's utile current-generation predecessor, and we suspect it is, it will undoubtedly be one of the most functional vehicles in North America. Ford has used the occasion of SEMA to turn the TC in to things that both make use of that functionality, and occasionally sort of wreck it in the name of good old-fashioned fun. The Ford Hot Wheels Transit Connect most certainly falls into that second category.
Most TC owners might cite the vehicle's massive cargo capacity as its top positive trait, though in the case of this wide-bodied Transit said space has been sapped in the name of a 55-inch television screen, a massive Hot Wheels drag strip (continuing a popular theme at SEMA this year) and custom storage for dozens of models from one's personal hot wheels collection. Designers have also plucked the grippy Recaro seats from the Focus ST, and thrown in a pair of 18-inch tablet screens for connectivity on the go.
Naturally, the Transit Connect wouldn't be an appropriate SEMA vehicle, or Hot Wheels name-bearer, if it weren't wearing an eye-popping appearance package. Additional homage to the Focus RS can be found in the blazing blue and orange front fascia and bumpers, while 20-inch wheels make sure the wider (four-inches in front and six-inches in the back) Transit Connect sits just right. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder-engine that powers the Hot Wheels TC ensures that the concept is more show than go, but you probably had that pegged from your first look, anyway.
Ford recalls 434k vehicles for several unrelated issues
Mon, 07 Apr 2014It seems that the hard winter in much of the country has been as rough on some Fords as it has on many people. The Blue Oval is recalling roughly 434,000 vehicles in two separate recalls, and one of them partially caused by the salt used to melt the snow on roads.
The first recall covers 385,750 2001-2004 Escape models in the Midwest, Northeast and Canada because a subframe could rust and eventually fail. This is partially due to the road salt used in those areas, and about 349,000 of the affected vehicles are in the US. To remedy the problem, dealers are installing a reinforcement cross brace on the frame to strengthen them. There has been one crash caused by the failure but no injuries. According to The Detroit News, this is not the first rust-related recall for Ford. It estimates the company has repaired over two million vehicles since 2010 for problems on vehicles related to the iron oxide, including the rear wheel wells of the Freestar minivan.
The second recall covers 48,950 2013-2014 Ford Fusion, Escape, C-MAX and Lincoln MKZ models because welds in their seatbacks don't meet National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standards. The fault affects the front seats, and the sub-standard welds joining the setback to the recliner could increase the chance on injury. There have been no reported injuries or accidents caused by the problem, but there are 42,972 affected vehicles in the US and 4,744 in Canada.
