This1998 Ford Ranger originated here in Western North Carolina. Purchased locally and owned by an elderly gentleman since new. I have had it for about a year. The miles are absolutely original and proven by NC Inspection Records and Carfax. The driver seat had a hole in it so I had both seats professionally reupholstered. I also had more padding placed in the seats for longlife wear. They were originally tan colored. These are the original seats just reupholstered. Recent entire clutch replacement (everything) to include new shocks. I had a 2" Leveling kit installed and placed those nice Kelly tires on it to give this ranger more ground clearence and a more aggressive appearence. The truck is very dependable has never let me down once. The transmission is strong and smooth and the 4X4 works perfectly. No oil leaks, no smoke and it drives like a truck with 50K miles on it. The engine compartment is clean. The interior is basically spotless. No cracks, rips or tears. Power steering and excellent brakes. The tires have probably less than 300 miles on them. The rims are after market to accomadate the larger tires. There is a good spare mounted underneath.
The A/C is very cold and the heat is very hot. I would not hesitate to drive this truck anywhere in the United States as is. This truck needs nothing but a new owner. The truck does have pings and scratches here and there. No major dents and no visible signs of rust anywhere. The under carriage looks good with no major rust issues or other concerns. The A/C for whatever reason occaisionally blows the air out of the defroster instead of the vents. The cabin is still very comfortable when it does do this. I am not aware of any issues with this truck. I would never intentionally sell anything without fully disclosing a major issue. This truck is not perfect by far, but it gets compliments everywhere it goes. it is clean, dependable and has a great history of being well cared for and adult owned. There is a matching camper top I had painted to match that goes with the truck if you want it. It is in great shape and very useful. The truck is located 20 minutes from Asheville NC in Waynesville. I am happy to accomadate anybody to make this as pleasureable as possible. I have bought and sold big ticket items on Ebay for over ten years. My feedback is perfect due to complete honesty. These trucks are getting harder to find in this condition with this mileage. You will not be disapointed. Please ask as many questions as you like. I am sellig to buy a family member a car. If you have a clean low mileage car I am certainly open to trading and will add money to the deal if need be.

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

Bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta hams it up for International Bacon Day
Wed, 28 Aug 2013This 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."
Shelby GT500 and Roush Stage 3 go head to head at the drag strip
Wed, 07 Aug 2013The Ford Mustang is a brilliantly affordable source of horsepower, with a base 300-plus-horsepower version available for well under $30,000. Jumping up to about $35,000 will get you a solid 420 horsepower from a high-revving V8, while those with some extra disposable income can get a pair of 600-plus-horsepower monsters. Both the Roush Stage 3 with its Phase 3 package and Ford's factory Shelby GT500 even crest the 650-horsepower mark, with 675 and 662 ponies, respectively.
Naturally, someone needed to find out which of these hi-po Mustangs was the quickest. And while this video is quite obviously a dealership commercial, at least there's some solid drag racing between two of the most powerful performance machines available for under $100,000.
With two NHRA drag racers at the wheel, the Stage 3 and GT500 go head to head for three races. Scroll down below to see the results in the full video.
