Up for sale is my 2001 Ford F150 dedicated Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) pickup.  Equipped with a reliable 5.4L Triton V8 engine and automatic transmission.  This truck spent most of its life in a government fleet and has only 89,986 miles!  Current CA registration is valid through April, 2015.  High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) access stickers are included, but were never installed since there aren't HOV lanes in my area.  Smog certification will be provided if required in your area. 

Condition

Drivetrain

Engine runs strong with no lack of power.  NO knocks, NO smoke, NO oil leaks.  Underside of engine and transmission are bone dry.  Transmission shifts into and through all gears smoothly as it should.  Has proper acceleration and runs smoothly at highway speed.  This was a fleet maintained vehicle with regular servicing, including oil changes at proper intervals.  

Exterior     

Paint has most of its factory shine as you can see.  No major dents or rot on the body.  There are minor dings, scrapes and scratches.  If you look closely, you can still see evidence of the city decals that once resided on the driver and passenger doors.  Overall, the body is very straight and paint is in good condition for its age.

Interior

Interior is in good condition with average wear.  As noted in the photos, there is a small tear in the driver side of the bench seat.  Rubber floor is in good condition with no major wear.  A/C blows ice cold and heat blows hot.  LED odometer display is temperamental, but can be brought back to life by tapping on the clear cluster bezel.  This is a common problem with these trucks that can be easily fixed by re-soldering a connection on the instrument panel circuit board.  Do a quick Google search for more information on the repair if you’re interested.  This causes no interference with the odometer accuracy as it continues to advance when the display is not functioning.

Wheels and Tires

Tires have approx. 40% tread remaining.  As documented in the photos, paint on the steel wheels is beginning to flake off in spots.  Matching set of factory Ford hubcaps.  Spare tire is missing.

CNG System

This truck has three factory-installed tanks (one underneath and two in bed) with a CNG tank capacity (per owner’s manual) of 21.7 US Gasoline Gallon Equivalent (GGE) @ 3600 psi.  Typically these trucks have an average range of approx. 275-325 miles, but I have noticed this truck gets around 200 miles per fill.  Perhaps one of the solenoid tank valves is stuck in the closed position.  This repair could be as simple as repairing a bad ground or as extensive as replacing a valve.  The in-bed factory tank shroud was replaced with a more robust diamond plate aluminum cover.

Payment Details

A non-refundable deposit in the amount of $500.00 must be made via PayPal within 24 hrs of auction close.  Balance to be paid at time of pick up via certified/cashier's check from a verifiable institution, US postal money order or cash (preferred).  Personal checks will not be accepted.  Item must be picked up in Exeter, CA within 10 days of auction close, unless you make other arrangements with me in advance.  

Shipping

I would prefer selling to an individual who is capable of taking delivery in person.  If you require shipping, please contact me before bidding to discuss.  Vehicle is located in Exeter, CA 93221. 

Warranty

I have described the condition of this truck to the best of my ability and cited all faults that I would appreciate knowing about as a buyer.  That said, it's a 13 year old used truck and is therefore being sold as-is with no warranties expressed or implied.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me prior to bidding. 

Good luck!


On Sep-20-14 at 09:01:28 PDT, seller added the following information:

The tank expiration year (2015) is clearly displayed inside the fuel filler door (see photo), but one person wanted to know the exact month.  Tanks expire in September, 2015.  Thank you and good luck.  –Matt

180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains

Wed, 21 May 2014

If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.

Autoblog's Editors' Picks: Our complete list of the best new vehicles

Mon, May 13 2024

It's not easy to earn an “EditorsÂ’ Picks” at Autoblog as part of the rating and review process that every new vehicle goes through. Our editors have been at it a long time, which means weÂ’ve driven and reviewed virtually every new car you can go buy on the dealer lot. There are disagreements, of course, and all vehicles have their strengths and weaknesses, but this list features what we think are the best new vehicles chosen by Autoblog editors. We started this formal review process back in 2018, so there's quite of few of them now. So what does it mean to be an EditorsÂ’ Pick? In short, it means itÂ’s a car that we can highly recommend purchasing. There may be one, multiple, or even zero vehicles in any given segment that we give the green light to. What really matters is that itÂ’s a vehicle that weÂ’d tell a friend or family member to go buy if theyÂ’re considering it, because itÂ’s a very good car. The best way to use this list is is with the navigation links below. Click on a segment, and you'll quickly arrive at the top rated pickup truck or SUV, for example. Use the back button to return to these links and search in another segment, like sedans. If youÂ’ve been keeping up with our monthly series of the latest vehicles to earn EditorsÂ’ Pick status, youÂ’re likely going to be familiar with this list already. If not, welcome to the complete list that weÂ’ll be keeping updated as vehicles enter (and others perhaps exit) the good graces of our editorial team. We rate a new car — giving it a numerical score out of 10 — every time thereÂ’s a significant refresh or if it happens to be an all-new model. Any given vehicle may be impressive on a first drive, but we wait until itÂ’s in the hands of our editors to put it through the same type of testing as every other vehicle that rolls through our test fleet before giving it the EditorsÂ’ Pick badge. This ensures consistency and allows more voices to be heard on each individual model. And just so you donÂ’t think weÂ’ve skipped trims or variants of a model, we hand out the EditorsÂ’ Pick based on the overarching model to keep things consistent. So, when you read that the 3 Series is an EditorsÂ’ Pick, yes, that includes the 330i to the M3 and all the variants in between. If thereÂ’s a particular version of that car we vehemently disagree with, we make sure to call that out.

Ford recalling 830,000 vehicles to replace side door latches

Thu, Aug 4 2016

The Basics: Ford is conducting a recall for roughly 830,000 models. The affected vehicles include the 2013 to 2015 Ford C-Max, 2012 to 2015 Ford Focus, 2013 to 2015 Ford Escape, 2015 Lincoln MKC, 2015 Ford Mustang, and 2014 to 2016 Ford Transit Connect. The recall is focused primarily in Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, California, Arizona, Hawaii, Georgia, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma, Washington, and Oregon as the problem mostly affects cars in states with warm weather. The Problem: The pawl spring tab in the side door latch in the affected vehicles could break, preventing the door from latching and could even cause the door to open while driving. Injuries/Deaths: There is one reported injury and one reported accident. The Fix: Dealers will replace the affected cars' side door latches. If you own one: Reach out to your local Ford dealer to schedule a service.
