You are bidding on a 1995 Ford F-150 four wheel drive pickup, equipped with a 5.0 liter engine and 4-speed automatic transmission. This truck has been in my family for about 10 years now. During that time, we only put about 21,000 miles on her, bringing the total to a bit under 121,000. We rarely drive it, and just don't have use for it anymore at this point in our lives. So, it's for sale.
The good points - the engine is mechanically sound, with even compression, no knocks or ticks, and good oil pressure. It sounds nice and tight, and runs very smooth. There is no smoke, and it doesn't burn any oil. Since I have owned it, it has been fed a diet of synthetic oil exclusively. The water pump was replaced a couple years ago, along with the timing chain, front cover gasket, and front oil seal. New idler pulley bearings were also installed at that time.
The transmission shifts perfectly, and has never had any issues at all. The fluid was changed when I bought the truck, and I haven't touched it since.
The 4WD engages as it should, in the high range. I never used low range, and the linkage is a bit rusty, so it won't go into low range. The buyer will need to clean and lube the linkage if low range is needed. I never used it in 10 years.
The front and rear differentials are tight, and make no noise at all. The suspension is in ok shape - there is a new right front spring mount, and the outer tie rods were replaced last year, along with new power steering hoses. The rear uses leaf springs, and they are in good shape.
The body is in pretty good condition, with the exception of some rust at the top of each rear quarter panels, in the fenderwells, as seen in the pics. The rest of the body is surprisingly sound, for a truck this old.
The interior is worn, but not ripped or damaged. There are a few stains on the carpet, as seen in the pics. Everything works - nothing is broken.
The brake lines from the master cylinder to the rear have all been replaced, along with the front crossover line.
All four tires are new last year, and have less then 1000 miles on them. These alone cost $600.00.
Now for the bad - there is an intermittent "check engine" light that comes on. The local parts store read the code, and said I need an oxygen sensor. I have bad knees, and I'm selling the truck, so I have not replaced the sensor. The buyer will have to do that. As it is, the truck runs fine, once it is fully warmed up. But, during the first 20 minutes or so, it has a pronounced hesitation at part throttle. At full throttle, it runs perfectly. Once it gets hot, the problem goes away.
Also, there is a good amount of surface rust on the frame and underneath. There aren't any holes (other than the fenderwells, as previously mentioned), but it should be addressed by the buyer. Also, the rear gas tank leaks. The front tank was replaced 2 years ago, but now the rear one needs replacement too. They cost around $100.00 new, plus installation. It's a very simple job - plenty of access at the back. And, there is a slow oil leak from the oil pan - the oil pan gasket needs to be replaced. It's not very fast, but until it's fixed, the buyer should check the oil at least once a week.
That's about all I can think of. The brake pads and shoes have a couple years on them, but are fine. The left rear wheel cylinder was replaced a couple years ago too. Email with any questions....
I expect Payment within 7 days. The buyer is responsible for getting the truck out of my driveway within 10 days of auction close. The truck is sold as is, where is. I have tried to be as clear as I can, but if you need to know more, send a question. I'll post the response here, so everyone can see it.

Ford C-Max sales hold steady despite fuel economy fracas
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Despite the ballyhoo that accompanied Ford's lowering of the C-Max fuel economy figures, the Blue Oval is still seeing strong demand for the five-seat MPV, as Automotive News reports. Speaking to marketing boss Jim Farley, AN says that the controversy surrounding the C-Max's fuel economy figures won't force Ford to change its marketing strategy.
Ford lowered the fuel economy rating of the C-Max after public outcry and legal action by customers that were unable to reach the 47 miles per gallon promised by the window sticker. The new ratings were dropped about a month ago to 45 mpg on the freeway and 40 mpg in the city. Ford offered rebates for current C-Max owners, with $550 going to those that bought their car and $325 to lessees. The issue, says Ford, stemmed from testing standards that allowed the automaker to base the C-Max's fuel economy on the Fusion Hybrid, because they use identical powertrains. The C-Max's less aerodynamic shape wasn't taken into account, though.
Whether Ford's PR team handled the crises perfectly or people just aren't that bothered by a four-mpg drop in combined ratings, demand remains strong for the C-Max among consumers. Ford moved 3,000 units in August, which was a 12-percent jump over July sales. Meanwhile, consumer demand through third-party shopping websites remains strong as well, according to Autometrics, a data analysis company that spoke with Automotive News. While the long-term effects of the adjustments remain unknown, the C-Max appears to have fared well in the near term.
Ford board pushing Mulally for decision amidst fears story is drowning out other news
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Automakers and their executives rarely like to divulge information regarding future goings on, but the board of directors at Ford sound like they're getting a little antsy about chief executive officer Alan Mulally and his plans for 2014.
According to Reuters, as news of Mulally's possible departure to Microsoft continues to swirl, Ford's board is looking to push the affable executive to make a decision about his future sooner rather than later. Apparently, the board is growing concerned that this will-he/won't-he drama may end up distracting the media from covering Ford's other big news events next year - items like the debut of key all-new products like the Mustang and F-150.
So far, the picture for Mulally's eventual successor remains fuzzy, but it's understood that the leading candidate remains the company's chief operating officer, Mark Fields. Just recently, we heard that Mulally will stay until the end of 2014, but a few months ago, Ford seemed open to the idea of him stepping down earlier than that.
NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.
