No matter where I go in this truck, it's the topic of surrounded by folks! Little history on the truck. I purchased this truckfrom an older couple living in Idaho (original owners) that purchased this trucknew ( traded in a1955 Ford pickup for this truck in 1997 with intentions of itbeing their last vehicle, but she became ill , and they bought a class C motorhome to transport her back and forth to Salt Lake City Utah for treatment). Ipurchased this truck from them with approximately 30000 miles. I have owned itfor 8 or 9 years. Installed 2 new batteries, replaced cutch and dual massflywheel, with solid flywheel.Which after changing dual mass flywheel, I reallydidn't like the resonance vibration noise, so I purshased a brand new OEMdual mass flywheel (still in box) ( I believe the last one in the country).Other than routine oil changes (Rotella 15W40), antifreeze additive, fuelfilters, and tires, this has been one of the best trucks I have ever owned! Ihope I don't regret the sale of this truck!! This truck is very cleaninside and out with power windows and locks, cruise, tilt, original AM/FMcassette radio, sliding rear window, factory tinted windows, power drivers seatwith power lumbar on both seats, A/C blows cold (freeze you out). This truckbody is rust free, paint shines like a new one! No cracks in dash, upholstery islike new! Original auto locking hubs, original wheels, no tuners or exhaust (hasfactory exhaust) !! Spray in Line-X bed liner. There is a small crease in therear bumper, refer to the pictures. No rust under doors as seen in photos. Thisis a very nice truck for a 20 year old truck!

Shelby boosts production of 575-hp Raptor on early demand
Mon, 08 Apr 2013Shelby American unveiled its all-new Shelby Raptor at the New York Auto Show last month, saying that it would build just 100 examples of its off-road bad boy, a pickup priced at $17,995 over the cost of the donor Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. But the Las Vegas outfit apparently underestimated just how popular the supercharged 575-horsepower 4x4 would actually be.
Strong early demand reportedly has Shelby singing a whole new tune, as the company is now saying it will build upwards of 500 units annually. While the increased production will likely make for at least 400 more happy owners, those who were on the original short list - possibly speculating on future values - might not be grinning as much. Needless to say, the company has assured everyone that each and every one of the modified Raptors will still be listed in the official Shelby registry.
Keep in mind that Ford isn't sitting idle on its trophy-truck-for-the-street, either. The company will reveal its own 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition this month.

Ford Green Zone works magic with GPS to make your drive smarter, cleaner
Fri, Aug 29 2014For the most part, plug-in hybrids rely on the power stored in the battery until that charge is depleted. Unless the switch can be changed manually, it's only then that the cars fire up the internal combustion engine and begin using the fossil fuels on board. This is ideal, of course, when one's drive isn't long enough that the car needs to start sipping gasoline at all. On longer commutes, when it's certain that the route is longer than the car's all-electric range, this isn't necessarily the most efficient use of energy. Ford's Green Zone system is designed to save some of that juice for the parts of the drive that require slower speeds. Ford is working on a smart system, based on Nokia mapping technology, that uses GPS data to use both the electricity and conventional fuel more efficiently. Since battery power is less efficient at highway speeds, Ford's Green Zone system is designed to save some of that juice for the parts of the drive that require slower speeds, rather than just using up all the electrons right at the beginning of the drive. Using a website or the in-car navigation system, the driver can pinpoint the parts of the route, highlighted in green, where using battery power would be more effective, and set the car to automatically switch to electricity for those sections. Depending on the route, the car could automatically switch back and forth between the two power sources multiple times, particularly if the drive is a mix between city and highway driving. Of course, Green Zone will be go beyond that. The program is being developed to take traffic and road grade into account, details that allow the car to be make even smarter choices to improve efficiency. Ford even hopes to have Green Zone learn driver habits, and respond accordingly depending on who is driving the car. The system could control other features as well, such as anticipating corners and shifting the headlights to better illuminate the road ahead. Green Zone could also potentially use information from vehicle-to-vehicle networking to control functions in the car. The Green Zone system still has a few years before it will be ready to be put into production vehicles, but Ford is confident it will make its way onto the road eventually. As with other innovations that improve efficiency and make our vehicles smarter, we can expect to see similar technology from other manufacturers, until it becomes a regular part of driving in the future.
