This 1996 Ford F 250 2 wheel drive pickup is in exceptional condition for its year. With the current millage it has averaged a little over 10,000 miles per year.
The 7.3 liter Powerstroke turbo charged diesel engine has been maintained to the highest level. When ever there was an issue with the truck it was fixed immediately by a reputable local repair facility. The truck is ready to go anywhere. The glow plow harness was replaced several years ago. within the past 3 years a new cam timing sensor was installed, new brakes, new plug for block heater (you don't really need it because the truck starts in the coldest weather).New rear differential cover just put in because the old one wasn't leaking but was showing signs that it might. Rear end oil was changed at that time.
Duel fuel tanks, the front tank fuel guage does not work. Each tank has a key locking fuel fill cap. No oil leaks or drips anywhere. Engine burns clean with no smoke.
I had a 2" receiver hitch installed with an electric brake adjustment modual in the cab. The truck has towed a trailer maybe 5 times. There are two surface rust spots. One is on the hood and the other is to the right of the rear window. Both have rust inhibitor on them but should be painted at some point. About the size of a quarter, see pictures.
It has a fantastic Eagle hydraulic tailgate lift that can lift 500LBS. Very handy piece of equipment. The electric motor that drives the hydraulic pump has been rebuilt and works perfectly.
There is a small ding on the drivers side door and above the fuel tank fill they are small and hard to see in the pictures.
Plastic bed liner. Tires are excellent.
Transmission has an over drive button that is used when towing.
Rocker panels and doors are solid as a rock. No rust on this truck besides what I mentioned above. The truck has been kept indoors and not driven in the winter.I'm selling it because I don't need it any more and it has only been used about 4000 miles a year in the past 9 years.
The engine is extremely powerful and with a lot of torque.
Vynal bench seat, hand crank windows, no AC. This is a reliable no frills truck. That's probably why its so reliable and inexpensive to maintain.
Call me with any questions. 860-662-0272

Ford Escort Concept goes back to basics
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Here's the thing about China: The folks buying cars there have a very different set of standards than shoppers in many other markets around the globe. While we all drool over hot metal with bold designs, and while we appreciate automakers going an extra step to inject even their cheapest offerings with aggressive and interesting cues, that sort of sheetmetal sex appeal doesn't always sell in the People's Republic. Case in point is Jaguar, which may be designing a more traditional-looking version of its XJ for the Chinese market, or more to the point of this story, Ford currently sells the less-exciting, last-generation Focus compact in China right alongside the new one.
So consider this new Shanghai-bound C-segment concept a preview of what's to come for that more traditional, budget-minded, less-sexy market. More proof of this pudding: Ford's even calling this concept the Escort - a nod to the Blue Oval's compact car days of yore, and a name that stirs up thoughts of basic, affordable transportation rather than great driving dynamics or bold design. "Customers in China described seeking a vehicle that is stylish - but not one that is arrogant or pretentious," Ford states. And this new Escort concept previews a possibility of providing exactly that for this rapidly expanding automotive market.
What you're looking at, then, is one of the most simple Ford designs we've seen of late, though it still incorporates all of the automaker's latest DNA. The signature hexagonal grille is front and center, flanked by attractive LED headlamps and chrome-rimmed foglamp housings. The entire car's design focuses on clean, smooth surfaces, with one strong character line flowing from front to back just below the beltline. We will say that the car looks decidedly more premium from the rear view, where narrow, horizontal taillamps with an LED accent give the car added visual width. Bland as it may be, it's a handsome little concept, though fear what would likely happen if all of the conceptual details get dumbed down for a production model.
Ford Australia pulls the ol' talking car prank
Mon, 07 Apr 2014Siri from Apple has proven that being able to talk to your technology doesn't always work perfectly. But what if it could eventually go far enough to give a personality to inanimate objects like our cars? Ford took just this path to comedic effect by playing a prank on many unsuspecting Australians, in a new commercial for its EcoSport compact crossover.
The Aussies seem very nonchalant about having a random parked car talk to them, and they seem surprisingly game when it asks them to get in, call a celebrity and tell a joke. (We're guessing there are some hilarious outtakes, too.) Scroll down to watch some folks from Down Under have a conversation with Ford's CUV.
Ford mulling EcoSport for US? [w/poll]
Mon, 03 Jun 2013"We certainly have that ability. We're studying it very, very closely." Those are the words of Jim Farley, global head of sales, marketing, service at Ford. The investigation Farley is referring to is the possibility of selling the company's new EcoSport crossover in America.
The diminutive Fiesta-based EcoSport was developed for emerging markets like Brazil and, more recently, China, but it apparently may have a future in the States, where it would form a new entry-level rung below the Escape in Ford's already robust crossover stable. Ford has big plans for its tiny CUV - Farley tells Automotive News that the EcoSport is only available in 10 countries right now, but by 2017, its distribution will have mushroomed to 62 countries. At the time the second-generation model launched at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show as a 2013 model, Ford said the EcoSport would eventually be sold in nearly 100 markets worldwide.
The Brazilian- and Indian-assembled EcoSport is available with a variety of gasoline-powered engines, but the 1.0-liter, three-cylinder EcoBoost giving 118 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque would seem to be the powertrain of choice for America, as it was recently confirmed for the stateside 2014 Fiesta.
