I've had this truck since Spring of 2007 and its been great! Its an awesome work truck for someone who can appreciate it; I just can't justify having such a big truck anymore and decided to try something new. The truck is a real monster and can pull the house down. 4 wheel drive works great. Manual locking hubs. The all mechanical 7.3l diesel is a beast that can pull anything and has never given me any trouble; these engines last forever. The automatic transmission was rebuilt about 5,000 miles ago last summer and shifts very smoothly. I have an air system rigged up on the truck with a compressor in the engine compartment and a tank mounted behind the seat. A pull chain overhead operates a pair of air horns that are mounted to the roof that are obnoxiously loud and clutch when people are being stupid on the road. Cruise control works, radio works, power windows work. Has a 12,000 lb capacity rear hitch as well as a front hitch. Tool box in the back is mounted by a set of u-bolts that serve as solid mounts for tying things down in the bed. The truck has always had a bed liner and there isn't a speck of rust on the bed. For as long as I've had it I've been very good at maintaining the truck and changing the fluids. I can show a history if the truck's maintenance if requested. Give me a call if you're interested at 410-920-1483. Make an offer
The Good
Very reliable 7.3l diesel engine
Newly Rebuilt auto trans and new torque converter
Air Horns
Working Cruise Control
Rear and Front Hitch
Two Brand New Batteries
Relatively new vacuum pump and brake boost
All new universal joints on forward driveshaft
Mechanically Sound
The Bad
Really there's just one thing... the rust. The frame and suspension are solid but there is a good amount of cosmetic rust especially on the cab. Some attention may be needed in the near future to repair the cab mounts underneath as the rust spreads.
Oh and there is a large crack in the windshield. I parked it in the back yard and a poorly thrown baseball found it. It will cost $207 to replace and I could see it done its just hard to put money into a truck that I'm selling.
If you look in the vehicle history it shows a problem with the odometer. That's because it rolls back to zero every 100,000 so it has "exceeded its mechanical limits". So long as the previous owner was honest to me about the mileage it is 211,000.

Automakers' rush on aluminum may result in shortage
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Aluminum is the new buzzword in the automotive industry. The latest Range Rover and Range Rover Sport both take advantage of the lightweight material to shave huge amounts of body fat (only it's called "aluminium" over there). Audi and Jaguar have been using the stuff for years in their A8 and XJ, respectively, and now, aluminum is going mainstream, arriving on the 2015 Ford F-150.
While we're excited to see aluminum make an impact outside the premium market, its widespread adoption apparently won't come without some problems, notably in terms of supply. "There isn't an automotive manufacturer that makes vehicles in North America that we're not talking to," Tom Boney, of Novelis, the largest global supplier of aluminum sheetmetal, told The Detroit News.
According to Boney, Ford's use of aluminum on such a large scale has forced auto manufacturers in "every boardroom" to reconsider their plans following the F-150's unveiling, for one simple reason: there's not exactly enough aluminum to go around, at least in the short term. The auto industry presently only accounts for six percent of the aluminum sheet produced, but as the material is adopted by more and more brands, that figure is expected to swell to 25 percent within the next six years.
Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.
