2004 Ford Explorer Limited Sport Utility 4-door 4.6l 4 Wheel Drive on 2040-cars
Burlington, Wisconsin, United States
|
Up for your consideration is our Explorer Limited 4x4. The reason for sale is we just purchased a new vehicle. I bought the truck in March of 2011 with 135k miles on it. It came from Ohio and already had some corrosion in the same places I have mentioned in the condition section. When I bought it, I had the following items replaced as they were worn or it was past due. Double platinum spark plugs, serpentine belt, both front wheel hub assemblies, rear ABS sensor, front lower ball joints, rear pinion seal, pressure transducer switch. At 140k, I had to replace the alternator. The OEM aluminum clad with chrome rims were peeling and looked awful to me. At 151k miles, I replaced the rims, tires and rear spring / shock assemblies. At 158k miles, the battery was repaced. All oil changes since I have owned the vehicle have been done with full synthetic oil. Interior is nice. Everything on the vehicle works, but I will list what I see as the negatives as I do not want you to have any surprises like I had when I had to purchase all the things above right away after having a safety check performed. The driver side speaker does not seem to be correct. It will come and go at times volume wise. Not sure if it is a connection at the speaker or radio, but it was not enough of a nuisance for me to pursue. When I had the rims replaced, the Ford dealer moved the air pressure switches from the old rims to the new rims. One of those must have been damaged because on most trips, the check air pressure message comes on even though the tires are at the correct pressure. It was not worth it to me to pursue a fix. There are some areas on the exterior where it looked like the paint was buffed or rubbed too hard with something, leaving some slight scuffs or color difference in the white. There are places where little chips were touched up. Being pretty picky here, but again I do not want to paint a different picture than what it is. Overall, a very nice and dependable truck for us with all the updates I put in. I did not spend the money for a porter, but the car was washed weekly and kept in my garage since the day we purchased. We were able to seat us and 5 kids with the third row seat. I have included a picture of the window sticker so you can see all the options, easier than listing them all out. Extras include the tinted bug shield and window vents. Good luck bidding! |

New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides
Mon, 22 Jul 2013It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.
2014 Ford Fiesta ST
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Concentrated ST Formula Proves Just As Potent
I'm not the jealous type... usually. But I will fully admit to being somewhat of a Pouty Polly when I read executive editor Chris Paukert's report after driving the then-new 2013 Ford Focus ST through the impossibly pretty southern French Alps region last June. I feel like a broken record saying this yet again, but hot hatchbacks hold a special place in my heart. And while I'm always giddy to drive any sort of small, turbocharged three- or five-door at home in Detroit, my jealousy was indeed piqued after hearing Paukert tell about the challenging yet breathtaking roads he encountered while driving the flamin' yellow Focus. You know, the sort of roads that, from above, look like carelessly drizzled lines of icing on the frosted Alpen caps.
Several months later, I found myself piloting a Focus ST just west of metro Detroit, pitting it head-to-head against one of Autoblog's perennial favorite cars, the Volkswagen GTI. It was fantastic - enough so that I fully stand behind my statement that in terms of balls-out performance, the Focus ST cannot be beat as far as today's front-wheel-drive hatches are concerned.
Ford Mustang GT500 successor spied near SVT
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Details about the next-gen Ford Mustang are scarce, and there's even less information out there about the upcoming replacement for the Shelby GT500. Previously rumored to drop the Shelby name and wear the GT350 moniker, the highest-performance Mustang has just been spotted testing near Ford's SVT operations.
Despite being cloaked in heavy camouflage, we can instantly tell this prototype is different from other Mustang spy shots we've seen in the past. Aside from the Shelby-spec wheels, quad exhaust outlets (previous spy shots show only two) and beefier brakes, this car also has air intakes on the hood and front fenders. These elements help to neither prove nor dismiss rumors that the next SVT Mustang will be naturally aspirated. It also looks like Ford is may be planning some changes to this car's rear suspension, as there is some extra camouflage added beneath the rear end of this prototype.
As a bonus, these spy shots also give us our first look inside the new Mustang, revealing a new steering wheel (with more buttons) and a glimpse of the dual-pod instrument gauges. Check out past spy shots of the 2015 Mustang showing off its new face and driving around town.
