2000 Ford Explorer Sport Sport Utility 2-door 4.0l on 2040-cars
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
|
Clean 2 owner title 2000 Ford Explorer Sport, 234,000+ miles which needs (I'm told) a new clutch and transmission. Listed as "mechanics special" as the rest of the truck from a running perspective is mechanically sound. Engine, belts, diffs, suspension, exhaust, brakes (except emergency, more on that below) all are in working order with no leaks/drips. Tires should be replaced this year and body has normal wear and tear for being used both on and off road and has rust on the rear bumper and body on drivers side door entry which is typical for this model. Interior is fair for its age but carpets and passenger seat could use some cleaning but no rips, tears or holes.
Things that could be fixed but are not necessary to make it run: - Emergency brake. I actually had this fixed but for whatever reason it won't engage the rear brakes. Pedal is tight so it may just need some tweaking - Turn signal module. Turn signals both work but it gets stuck every couple of months. - Drivers side door lock. It works (in theory), key fob doesn't unlock drivers door, just everything else... the rivet that holds the internal box inside the door came loose so you have to unlock from inside of truck by pulling the door handle. It's an easy fix, I just never got around to do it. - Radio antenna. Douchebag in Mt Adams broke it off. I don't listen to the radio so I never fixed it. Again, another easy peasy one. - Rear Lund wind deflector. You could remove it, but you would have to patch the holes you would have in the hatch door. It broke years ago and I ghetto rigged it back together using inner-city ingenuity, glue and gorilla tape. It has sentimental value to me, doubt it would for you however. - Rear wiper, needs a new one although I'm not really sure why Ford even has one because I could never, ever get it to work right. There are a few other things such as rock chips in front glass (but no cracks), missing mudflap etc that have nothing whatsoever to do mechanically. Just things from wear and tear. I've taken plenty of pictures so judge for yourself. The truck still runs but needs transmission attention... $600.00 cash/cashiers check or PayPal only. |

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment
Thu, 20 Mar 2014One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
Ford Transit Skyliner Concept is a Gulfstream for the road
Sat, 12 Apr 2014If you are afraid to fly or just want to arrive at your ultimate destination in absolute comfort, then the Ford Transit Skyliner concept might be the perfect vehicle for you. Built by Galpin Auto Sports and based on a 2015 Transit, the van is basically a private jet on wheels. It even has a touch of Transformers about it with the ability to switch between four modes by pressing a button in a smartphone app.
Based on the long wheelbase, high-roof model with 487 cubic feet of cargo space and 6 feet, 9.5 inches of interior height, the Skyliner has movable captains chairs that shift around among four modes. In theater mode, the seats turn and recline to face a 52-inch retractable movie screen with 7.2 surround sound. For business, a motorized table unfolds, and the chairs gather around it. There is a mode for tailgating where the door opens four-feet wide, and, when traveling, passengers can recline back with footrests that extend for maximum comfort.
To make the ride even plusher, there is a satellite and media server to meet your entertainment needs, and there is even a built-in bar in the back. If this Ford had a bathroom, you could live in it. Of course, you would need to hire a driver to enjoy all the amenities in the back.
