 This is an awesome vehicle that I purchased for hunting, fishing and camping.  Unfortunately, family and business needs come first and I reluctantly have to part with this rig.  I purchased this truck with 150k miles on it and have taken meticulous care of it since.  It came with the EGR Delete kit, which is a costly but important modification for this year of the 6.0, and can increase the life of this engine dramatically.  It also already had the 4" turbo-back exhaust system and Bullydog cold air intake.  I have installed the "blue spring" fuel pressure regulator, which was another issue with these engines that caused them to not get enough fuel when under load.  I have a Bullydog Power Pup 10-stage programmer I will also include for the successful bidder.   The wheels are 18" Chrome plated and the tires are 325/65 Firestone Destination ATs with decent tread left.

This truck is a BRUTE, as illustrated by the heavy duty bumper guard up front, made of 1/4" steel.  I recently replaced the front hub assemblies and rotors, ($1800!!!) but otherwise it has been bulletproof.  4x4 works smoothly.  The truck was a Florida vehicle until last winter, but even though it is tagged with Minnesota plates, it still has seen very little road salt.  It's very clean.  I've owned 9 Powerstroke diesels and this is my sixth 6.0.  I know how to take care of them and I know their strengths and weaknesses.  This is a good one.  I would confidently take this truck anywhere.  I have another Powerstroke 6.0 pickup that is a "project" truck for me and it doesn't run as smooth as this one, but I need to keep a truck and don't need the SUV.

The steering is a little sloppy, as it needs some new rod ends, but it's aligned and doesn't dog track or anything.  The front bumper is the only real flaw on the truck, as the passenger side has a little dent on it.  If that was replaced, the body would be 99% straight.  The interior is worn where it typically is, on the drivers' seat, but otherwise just normal wear and tear.  Not a lot of stains, no rips, etc.  I will upload better interior pics or email them upon request.  I haven't had a chance to get pics during daylight since deciding to sell it.

"Subtle" would not be a good word to describe this truck.  It's loud and it stands out.  My kids named it "Big E" and their class mates think it's "cool". 

I buy on Ebay, but not sold a lot, so I'm a little out of my comfort zone.  I will make one last "road trip" in this rig if you cannot pick this truck up, for a negotiated amount. 

 This is really a special interest vehicle and needs to go to someone that is specifically looking for this special American muscle!

Ford gets its Movement on, releases 'Sounds of Focus' tracks

Sun, 25 May 2014

Ford has, for at least the second year in a row, teamed up with techno promoter Paxahau and a couple of artists to make music in recognition of the Detroit Movement music festival. This time, Movement performers Ataxia and Secrets were selected by Ford, and were invited to spend some time at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant, which gives birth to the Ford Focus and Focus Electric models.
Now that we know the what, how about the why? According to Ford, "Detroit is uniquely tied to the origins of the electronic music scene. In the 1980's variations of electronic music stemmed from inspirations of industry, including the automotive sector." So, there you go. If you're interest is piqued, feel free to read the press release, watch the video and listen to the tracks below.

2014 Ford Transit Connect configurator fires up for the whole family

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The second-generation Ford Transit Connect is almost upon us, and to get work- and family-oriented customers ready for the new model, Ford has launched a configurator for both van and wagon versions. Both body styles will go on sale early next year with the base TC Van starting at $22,000, but customers wanting side windows and rear seats will have to pony up at least an extra $3,000 for the TC Wagon.
Ford is definitely looking to get back into the family van business with the 2014 TC Wagon offering three available trim levels, two engines and the choice between five- and seven-passenger seating (with two wheelbases). Like many recent Ford products, a fancy Titanium trim level is offered, and opting for it will cost you - this trim starts at $29,000, and we were able to spec it out with a panoramic roof, tow package and front and rear parking sensors for a little over $33,000.
Businesses looking for a small, fuel-efficient work vehicle now get more options on the TC Van like the choice of split, hinged rear doors or a liftgate (with or without glass), a long wheelbase ($1,000) and Ford's CrewChief vehicle tracking system ($925). Fully loaded, this van is still costs less than the fullsize E-Series. On both Van and Wagon, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine is a $795 option, but it is only offered on short-wheelbase models and Ford has yet to release power or fuel economy specs yet. With the standard 2.5-liter engine, the TC will get up to 21 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.

Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.
Have a look below and let us know what you think of MT's verdict in Comments.
