This is one of the sharpest F250's around. I have yet to see another with this color scheme. It is a short bed crew cab 4x4. This does have the sought after 7.3 liter International engine. It has a plug in block heater if you have to leave it out. It will start at any temp, any day. It does not smoke. It runs like it did off the lot. I have put 80,000 miles on it since I purchased it from my brother in law who is meticulous. It has big exhaust. New stainless tips. All four new shocks. All new glow plugs. Brand new oversized tires! Everything works. Power locks/windows, cruise, cd with auxilary for i pod or android phone. K&N filter and cold air intake. Old school Super Chips programmer. It only goes to 80 HP on the max setting, so it is very safe. My brother in law was a trucker and wanted more gauges, so he put in the 3 pod set on the window post. (EGT, Tranny temp, and Boost). This truck had a brand new tranny put in at 80,000 miles. It has never skipped a beat for me. I have never done anything, nor needed to except put on tires, general up keep, etc. I put $800 worth of glow plugs last year to find out that it was just a bad solenoid that activated them... This truck is very, very clean for a 2000. People are constantly complementing it and thinking it is much newer. It sounds awesome, nice and mellow, not loud and obnoxious. It has a flip up ball in the bed for a fifth wheel. I occasionally pulled my gooseneck flatbed to get an antique tractor. Other than that I don't pull with it much. It does have the trailer brake hookup. My brother in law pulled a camper to its spot in the spring and home in the fall. You will be very impressed with how new this truck feels and looks. The only bad is a small dent in the front bumper. (cement post at a gas station) and the under side of the front two doors are getting a small bit of rust starting that can be stopped easily. This truck is rust free other than that. Always been garaged with heat. Always washed and clean. Call me don't email. 319-231-8974. I am open to offers, if they are reasonable and in person. You can scour craigslist and ebay etc and will not find 7.3's for sale in this condition. This is a great find. The truck has 193,000. Just broke in.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
