7.3 Diesel - Custom Limited With $18k In Upgrades! on 2040-cars
Amarillo, Texas, United States
This is just an awesome Excursion. I looked everywhere for the right 7.3 and finally found it. I bought it locally from a friend who owns a dealership/body shop. It has been a blast to own and drive daily, but my business is expanding and I need a different vehicle to hit the road. If you are looking for an adventure-ready 7.3 where all the big expensive stuff has already been done for you, this is it!
The venerable and much-sought-after 7.3 is stock and strong. It runs clean with no blowback or other issues...this has been confirmed by 3 diesel mechanics (one of whom is the Ford diesel guru in this area). Just breaking in at 167k and has many, many more miles to go. It has never been modded...though a 4-inch exhaust, cold-air intake, and tune would make this thing scream...or get great mileage...your call. The body is beautiful. Straight and stable with no wrecks or dings. It has none of the rust issues that plague many other Ex's. I cannot tell you how many of them I looked at that were buyer-worthy except that they were rusting out. This is the least-rusty Ex that I have ever seen. Check out the pics of the underbody. I had a Yakima rack on it and would highly recommend one over the stock setup as it inherently rubs the top like sandpaper...but I've included the stock rack in the back of the truck anyway. This Excursion is purpose-built to carry you and your family through just about anything. It is a functional beast with over $18,000 invested the following upgrades:
I have 100% eBay feedback for a reason. I treat buyers as I would want to be treated. One of the most frustrating things when I was Excursion shopping was driving forever to look at a "like-new" truck that turned out to be anything but. Though this Excursion is in amazing condition compared to most others out there, it does have some inevitable signs of being 13-years old. In full disclosure, I have taken pictures of all superficial wear...I prefer for you to be completely informed and wish to prevent any unpleasant surprises. If you are interested in this truck, please feel free to contact me for those and other additional photos. In addition, these are the only noteworthy issues that I intended to fix them but never got around to it:
If you're looking for a beast of a 7.3 Excursion that is still road-worthy, I don't believe you will find many as nice as this. Or if you're looking for an amazing zombie-apocalypse base camp, I don't believe you will find many as worthy as this. A lot of time, energy, and money has gone into it. If you're looking at this ad, you probably already know how rare and special this one is. My goal is for the buyer to take ownership and be pleasantly surprised by its condition based on my information. Please feel free to contact me for anything other than lowball offers. God bless and good luck bidding! Todd Oh yeah, I reserve the right to end this auction early in the case of a local sale. |

2015 Ford Edge holds line on pricing, starts at $28,100*
Tue, 04 Nov 2014The Ford Edge gets an updated platform, bolder styling and a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine pumping out 245 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque for the 2015 model year. You might expect that all those new features would result in a big price bump, but you'd be wrong. Ford is keeping costs identical to the 2014 model with a starting MSRP of $28,100 (*plus an $895 destination charge), according to Edmunds. Ford spokesperson William Mattiace confirmed the numbers to Autoblog.
That's a pretty good deal, but the real ticket here might be the model's Sport trim. Buyers get a 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 EcoBoost engine with over 300 horsepower and standard adaptive steering for $28,600 plus destination. That's just $500 more than the base model.
Pricing for the Titanium trim has not yet been announced, but it'll be a short wait to find out. Mattiace tells Autoblog that full pricing and the configuration for the model will launch on November 5. He has also confirmed that the 2015 Edge will begin hitting dealers in the first quarter of 2015.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
Check out Ford's fully automated self-parking car [w/video]
Wed, 09 Oct 2013As automakers continue to find uses for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle technology, Ford of Europe has announced that it is developing a self-parking system for future use. More advanced than the Active Park Assist already offered in many Ford products, the new Fully Assisted Parking Aid can take full control of the vehicle and can navigate angled and perpendicular parking spots.
While today's Active Park Assist can only parallel park with the driver controlling the gas, brake and gear selection, Fully Assisted Parking Aid can operate steering, gas, brake and gear selection all while making sure the car is properly parked in the intended space. As with APA, the driver pushes a button to make the car look for a proper spot (at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour), and when an adequate space is located, the operator pushes another button (either inside the car or outside via remote control) for the car to park itself - the button must be pressed throughout the whole parking maneuver. Even though Ford says that the car can effect gear selections on its own, the system must still start from Neutral, and the automaker isn't saying whether the car can put itself into Park when done or put itself in Drive when the operator is ready to go.
Ford is also taking the opportunity to announce its new Obstacle Avoidance technology. This automated system is able to detect objects - including pedestrians - in the road, warn drivers of said objects and, if needed, stop and steer automatically to avoid hitting the obstacle. Both systems are still in the prototype phase, so there is no word as to when we could see either on a production vehicle.
