1999 Ford F-150 Xlt 4x4 W/ Ladder Racks & Husky Tool Box Needs Tranny 191k V8 on 2040-cars
Farmington, Connecticut, United States
|
You are buying my old pickup truck, a 1999 Ford F-150 XLT as pictured in the listing.
PLEASE NOTE: I AM SELLING THIS AS A SALVAGE ITEM. IT NEEDS A TRANSMISSION. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT A SHORT DISTANCE BUT I CANNOT GUARANTEE IT WILL TRAVEL VERY FAR. THE OVERDRIVE LIGHT IS BLINKING AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS SIGNIFICANTLY AT COLD TEMPERATURES AND LOW SPEEDS. PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT WHEN BIDDING ON THIS ITEM! The truck has the small V8, which runs like a top. It has 191,350 miles on it. It is Amazon green exterior two-tone with tan cloth interior. This is the stripped out truck--it has manual locks and crank windows and no cruise control. The air conditioning does not work. Furthermore, it has a serious transmission problem including a fluid leak--the overdrive light is blinking and the tranny slips significantly to the point that it is difficult to operate. This is the reason it's on eBay. What it has going for it: two BRAND NEW rear tires (500 miles on them). (front tires have about 10-15% of treadwear remaining). Nice ladder racks. Nice Husky toolbox (like new, locking). A bed with only a tiny amount of rust on it. This is the right truck for somebody with an extra tranny laying around or for someone that wants to cannibalize the parts for his/her own truck and then cut off the cat and sell the rest of the truck for scrap. (curb weight is about 5150 pounds.) On Jul-08-14 at 08:10:44 PDT, seller added the following information: Truck is also wired for remote start and and trailer. |

Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs
Fri, 25 Apr 2014General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.
70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025
Wed, 11 Jun 2014In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.
Ladies Love It: Ford Fiesta wins Womens World Car of the Year
Thu, 25 Jul 2013It's official: A panel of female automotive writers has chosen the Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost as the Womens World Car of the Year, and it beat tough competition like the Mazda CX-5, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S for the overall top spot.
The CX-5 and Range Rover won the SUV and Luxury Car categories, respectively, and the Boxster S laid claim to the Sports Car category, beating the runner up Audi RS5 and third place Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ (or Scion FR-S). The Audi Allroad was named the Family car of the year.
The panel consisted of 18 female automotive writers from around the world tasked with picking the best car in each of eight categories, including top vehicle overall, using criteria that women utilize when shopping for a car. That includes safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, color, sex appeal and environmental footprint.
