Today I'm selling my 1998 ford explorer. This car has had regular oil changes every 3000 miles. She uses full synthetic motor oil and has been for the last 100,000 miles. 3 owner vehicle, 2 of which being my father (ASE certified master mechanic who has helped me with all of the service) and myself. whenever this truck needed anything it got it right away and has always been a VERY reliable vehicle. transmission was rebuilt 15,000 miles ago and is very smooth and strong. Everything works except the A/C, but that is due to a broken blendor motor that i have brand new and just have not put in yet due to my recent shoulder surgery. She does amazing in the snow. the air suspension (sloppy and very bouncy) has all been swapped out to steel shocks and springs (upgraded and heavier duty shocks and springs than the stock ones). The entire front end has been replaced including the control arms, sway bar links, torsion bars, ball joints (upper and lower), tie rod ends and tie rods, and the front shocks (as mentioned before. Rear end had leaf springs and schackles replaced, as well as the rear shocks. the grille was painted and color coated to the car to match. pinstripes were removed and replaced by the slightly yet subtly more aggressive black and silver stripes (which were also added along the lines of the hood as you can see in the picture. front seats are the only things that really show the age of the car, all power buttons on both seats work, they just have your typical wear and creasing (NO TEARS THOUGH). alternator was also replaced as well as the thermostat. tires are still good with lots of life left. 7k tow hitch on the back. very minor scratches on the front from 16 years of driving. reliable turn key car that has made the drive to new hampshire and back several times with no issues, contact me with any further questions

Ford Explorer is America's new favorite police car

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

There is a new vehicle that you should keep an eye out for when you're going a little too fast down the Interstate. Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility was the bestselling new law enforcement model in the country last year, and signs show that won't be changing anytime soon.
Ford sold 14,086 Interceptor Utilities in 2013, up 140% from the year before, and 10,897 Interceptor Sedans, up 31%, according to USA Today. Overall, the brand's police sales were up 48 percent, and they were enough to boost the company's law enforcement vehicle market share by 9 points to nearly 50 percent.
The success comes just a few years after it made the decision to finally retire the long-serving Crown Victoria-based cruiser for two more modern vehicles. "We had to reinvent the category," said Chris Terry of Ford Communications to Autoblog. The automaker had to convince police departments that a unibody chassis without a V8 could perform better than a model that had been a law enforcement staple for years.

What next for Alan Mulally?

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

Alan Mulally has emerged as a hero when it comes to American manufacturing. He came to Ford in 2006 after serving as head of Boeing's commercial aircraft division, streamlined operations, sold off the costly elements of its Premier Automotive Group and saved Ford from having to be bailed out by the federal government like its cross-town rivals Chrysler and General Motors did. But as we reported mere days ago, he's widely expected to step down from the chief executive's office at Ford shortly.
So what's next for one of the most successful executives in the business? Hard to say, but don't expect Mulally to disappear into retirement. Though he didn't ultimately take the top job at Microsoft, industry insiders expect to see him in another influential position - likely as a board director or even chairman of another company. (We say "another company" and not Ford because while Bill Ford may have stepped aside as CEO to bring Mulally on board in the first place, we don't see him giving up his chairmanship of the board also.)
Mulally has likely already lined up his next move, and could either announce what that move will be as soon as Ford confirms Mark Fields as his successor, or could wait awhile. Insiders speculate that he could leverage his transportation and aerospace experience into a position at General Electric or a major airline, his manufacturing expertise to benefit a company like Procter & Gamble or his management skills at a consultancy firm.

Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014



Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show, Ford owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 and Mustang. While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).
