We can deliver to the winning bidder anywhere in the eastern part of the U.S for the cost of fuel. If you are in the west/Midwest/south it will be up to you to arrange transport/delivery.

This truck in my opinion would be in the best 10% available as far as condition for this model/age vehicle.
We bought it in March of this year to do a camping tour of the U.S and it performed flawlessly.
Now it is time for us to return home so regrettably we have to sell.
The truck had 174,600 miles on it when we bought it from the original owner in Wyoming. We have since put about 11,000 miles on it. It has ZERO  body rust and was always garaged and maintained.
Here is a list of what we have added.
Rear firestone airbags, New tires all round (now have 75% tread left), New shock absorbers all round, New power steering pump, New vacuum pump,New batteries 850 amp motorcrafts. Changed all fluids diffs,transfer case etc,New air filter,fuel filter,new serpentine belt. Torklift tie downs on front and happi jac tabs on rear for camper tie down.(we sold camper).
Everything mentioned above is OEM no cheap replacement parts!
This truck is in overall great condition and ready to go anywhere!

Extras included are- grill guard, tekonsha electric trailer brake controller, mr pickup rear step/hitch, side steps and A.R.E camper shell.

 Note: we bought the camper shell after we sold our slide in camper just to keep our stuff dry. It is in good condition but is NOT a perfect fit for this model, I think it is off a newer model. As I said it works fine.

The only thing that doesn't work is the cassette player but I think it is an easy fix, I never bothered because we just used our mp3 player.

The rear passenger locking knob, the very top is broken off it and it is a little sticky as you have to press the central locking button twice to get it to lock, the rest of the doors are fine.

The drivers seat has a little wear but really minimal , it has seat covers on both front seats, the rear seat has rarely been used by the look of it.

The top half of the steering wheel has some wear as to be expected but nothing major.

Everything else in the interior is in great condition.

The paint is in very good condition,but it has a lot of very,very light scratching that can easily be polished out and hardly noticeable.

There are in total three dings from hailstones, one about like a thumb print on the hood and two on the roof about like golf ball size, none of these has cracked the paint or anything so not really an issue.

It has a small fleck of paint about the size of your little finger nail off the drivers door, the original owner told me it was there from new, can easily be touched up.

The top rail of the pickup bed has some marks where a head ache rack was bolted on but nothing as far as damage, just small cosmetic stuff.

The bed is straight with no major dings/damage, it has a rubber mat in it which has helped protect it.

The tail gate has a ding in the bottom left corner where a 2 inch piece of pipe slid forward off a trailer (original owner) it isn't deep and could be fixed without too much bother.

All of the above are little things that don't affect the trucks functionality in any way, I just mention them because I am fussy and to make you aware of everything I can.

The engine is strong and uses no oil between changes and the oil looks clean even after 3-5k miles, I have never had a diesel like that before, it usually turns black after a week!

The original owner told me he put a new clutch and flywheel in it at 100,000 miles, it is still the dual mass fly wheel and it seems tight.

Hubs lock in and out good and I don't think the 4x4 has been used much , we used it about twice!

Also will throw in my tool kit and a few spares, probably 200-300 dollars worth.

I can't think of much else to say, if you have any Q,s please ask and happy bidding

And to the lucky person who wins, you are getting a great solid truck. I looked for a long time when I bought this to find the one I wanted.

you can also call me if you want to discuss anything about the truck or more pics etc. 303 325 4574  Doug.

Ford to hack $4k off price of Focus EV amid slow sales

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.
Ford has already admitted to having low expectations for the car's sales and massive rebates were reported earlier in the year, but there is still no official word from Ford on this matter. The company's consumer site still lists the 2014 model's starting price as $39,200. In addition to the Leaf, the Focus Electric will also have to deal with the lower prices of smaller EVs including the Honda Fit EV, Fiat 500e and the Chevrolet Spark EV.

Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.
