Condition

Drivetrain

Engine starts up and runs strong and smooth as you would expect. 4.0L V6 engine with automatic transmission and 4-wheel drive. Only 12k miles. No engine knocking, smoking, or dripping leaks. Shifts into and through all gears smoothly as it should. Has powerful acceleration and cruises at highway speed. Has been fleet serviced since new. Recent Service: new battery, all fluids have been changed. Extended Warranty covers drive train components only.

Exterior

Paint has all of its shine and glistens in the sun as you can see. This was a fleet/municipal vehicle and as such, does have some minor physical blemishes. There are nicks, chips, scratches, dings, and other minor blemishes in a few spots around the body. There is a scratch on the rear right side door and some scuffs on the front left side bumper edge. There is some paintwork on the doors and tailgate where decals were removed. Overall nice looking truck as you can see. Please keep in mind this is not new but still a nice low mileage specimen.

Interior

Interior is in very good condition with minimal wear. There may be a few tiny holes drilled in some of the console panels where electronics were mounted. Seats and floor are in like-new condition with no rips or significant wear. A/C blows cold. Radio and other devices work fine as they should. SRS light is on due to a faulty seat track sensor. The RSC light periodically comes on if starting up on uneven terrain. This pertains to the anti-roll feature that applies braking if you corner too hard. It doesn't affect performance of vehicle and has only come on a few times. No evidence or smoking or pets. Fresh and clean inside.

Wheels and Tires

· Tires have approximately 50%+ tread remaining. Full set of factory alloy rims.

I have test driven approximately 200 miles and assessed the overall condition of the vehicle to the best of my ability. Known defects have been noted, but there may be repairs required and additional defects beyond what is listed. Please keep in mind this is a salvage/rebuilt vehicle with previous flood damage history. As I recommend to all my customers, you should have your mechanic look over any newly purchased vehicle before extensive use. I have tried to list as many details about this vehicle as I can, including known defects. Please keep in mind this was a gov't vehicle and may have greater wear and tear than normal vehicle. There may be deficiencies that I am not aware of so buyers are encouraged to inspect in person. If you are local I encourage and welcome you to come down and check out the truck for yourself or have an independent inspection completed PRIOR to bidding. There will be no price adjustments or sale cancellations for failure to do so. IT IS THE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK QUESTIONS AND/OR INSPECT THE VEHICLE BEFORE BIDDING AND PURCHASE. FAILURE OF THE BUYER TO DO SO DOES NOT CONSTITUTE NON-DISCLOSURE OF DEFECTS ON THE SELLERS PART. I am happy to answer any questions so feel free to e-mail me or call.

2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Supercrew

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

I'm not normally a pickup kind of guy, but the 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor won me over nearly instantly. The street-legal trophy truck - there is really no other way to accurately describe it - is big, brawny and incredibly capable. Let's just say it's every bit the monster it visually portrays. I spent a week pretending I was one of Ford's Baja 1000 drivers, but lacking desert sand, I headed into the local mountains where a mild winter storm had dropped a couple inches of fresh snow on my favorite off-road park. The Ford was, for the most part, practically unstoppable.
Ford offers its SVT Raptor package on Supercab and Supercrew platforms with the five-foot, five-inch bed. The Supercrew I tested rides on a 144-inch wheelbase (about a foot longer than the Supercab). In addition to its cosmetic differences when compared to the standard F-150 - there isn't a young boy on the planet who doesn't think the matte black Ford grille is cool - the Raptor has a 73.6-inch track - nearly seven inches wider than the track on the standard F-150.
After upgrading the F-150 SVT Raptor significantly for the 2012 model year, there are only a few changes for 2013. The list includes standard high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps, Hill Descent Control, forged beadlock-capable wheels, and the new matte Terrain color (aka "Desert Storm") option seen on my test model.

Bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta hams it up for International Bacon Day

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

This is a bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta. It is a real thing, that a real, multi-billion-dollar company designed. And it isn't even April Fools' Day. Designed for International Bacon Day, which is also apparently a thing, the 2014 Fiesta is finished in Green Envy paint - we're told black paint, like the color of a skillet, made the car look camouflaged - and features 10 gigantic decals depicting strips of tender, cured bacon.
The design, which was approved by the CEO of Benton's Country Hams, Allan Benton, show off the depth of Ford's Custom Graphics program. Unbelievably, Ford will actually start offering bacon decals to everyday customers, including (and we can't believe we're writing this) dual bacon racing stripes which will no doubt have Carroll Shelby spinning and/or salivating in his grave, and a "side of bacon," which wraps a couple of strips over the rear wheels.
Benton, who Ford claims is the King of Bacon, had this to say: "This car just makes so much sense." The Fiesta's marketing manager, Liz Elser added, "It's just awesome to drive down the road in a piece of bacon."

Bill Ford op-ed argues we can't just build and sell more of the same cars

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

It's hardly a secret that the auto industry is undergoing an enormous, tectonic shift in the way it thinks, builds cars and does business. Between alternative forms of energy, a renewed focus on low curb weights and aerodynamic bodies, the advent of driverless and autonomous cars and the need to reduce the our impact on the environment, it's very likely that the car that's built 10 years down the line will be scarcely recognizable when parked next to the car from 10 years ago.
Few people are as able to explain the industry's many upcoming changes and challenges as clearly as William Clay Ford, Jr., better known as Bill Ford. The 57-year-old currently sits as the executive chairman of the company his great-grandfather, Henry Ford, founded over 110 years ago.
In an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Ford explains that the role of automakers is, necessarily, going to change to suit the needs of the future world. That means changing the view of not just the automobile, but the automaker. As Ford explains it, automakers will "move from being just car and truck manufacturers to become personal-mobility companies."
