This is a very strong running, well maintained, mechanically sound truck that I have owned for 10 of its 12 years.  I have always spared no expense with the maintenance, running full synthetic oil and premium filters at every change, and it shows.  Always adult driven; never abused.  Please, don't be scared by the miles - in modern vehicles, its more about the maintenance and HOW the vehicle was driven than how long it has been driven.  As you can probably guess, this has been my daily commuting truck until recently.  I have never had a major mechanical issue, and every major component works as it should. 

I had intended on keeping it "forever" to tow the boat, but I owe the IRS a LOT of taxes.  So, I sold the boat.  Now, with no boat I really have no need to keep the truck, and I DO have a need to pay of the rest of the taxes I owe ($5K), so I'm selling the truck.

Most of the truck's life has been in Arizona, where I commuted between Phoenix and Tucson, and Tucson and Sierra Vista (about 90 miles).   Dry climate, mostly, so no rust on it at all.  I did make several trips between Arizona and Florida. Six, to be exact.  The last time (about a year ago) I was towing the boat.  And I wouldn't hesitate to do it again tomorrow.  That's how confident I am in it being mechanically sound.  I have been extremely happy with the Ranger, and I want you to be, too.  That being the case, I have posted a good number of videos and pictures for those of you who can't make it here to see it in person before the auction ends.  Please ask questions; I'll respond as soon as I can.

The good:  well, most of it, really.  Runs strong, drives well. 

See it run and drive here: http://youtu.be/U_9bnX1x_Z4   and here: http://youtu.be/KznDvtRy5PY    and here: http://youtu.be/cSYX95JpNik

4-wheel high and low work well  There was a common problem with the 4wd control modules going bad.  This has the new, updated control module and has had no issues shifting into 4 wheel whenever I want. 

See it in 4wd here:  http://youtu.be/ZYnOv4FJO98 

The average: The exterior and interior are average, I would say. Sun faded on hood and roof.  Interior shows use.  Carpets have been vacuumed but could use a steam clean.  See the exterior here: http://youtu.be/BVdPCtcndeI  the interior here: http://youtu.be/eN85Qo3T1Xc I  welcome those who want to see it in person.  Contact me and we can set a time.

2015 Ford Mustang invades SEMA, led by King Cobra

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Ford showcased more than a dozen customized 2015 Mustangs at its sprawling 20,000-square foot display this week at the Las Vegas Convention Center as the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary celebration continued at the SEMA Show.
While Mustangs are always a hot commodity at SEMA, the new generation brought increased attention from the aftermarket, as builders like Galpin Auto Sports, Richard Petty's Garage and Vaughn Gittin Jr. offered their takes on the new 'Stang.
The extensive display included a range of Mustangs from mild to wild, with everything from a 600-plus horsepower King Cobra pictured at the top, to paint-and-wheel packages. The new regal Cobra, which we spied early in our SEMA adventure this year, may not be the replacement for the Cobra Jet as we speculated, but it does seem to point the way forward for the next iteration of a supreme Ford dragster. Fat drag slicks out back make it's reason for being abundantly clear, and for tells us that modded car is good for a 10.97-second quarter-mile run.

Ford pulls official support from top-level NHRA teams

Sun, 11 Aug 2013

As the smallest team in the sport, it wasn't really a surprise when Dodge decided to pull out of NASCAR, but Autoweek is reporting that Ford is looking to pull the plug on its professional-level NHRA sponsorships following the 2014 season. With attendance and television ratings down, the article reports that Ford is just backing out of the top series but will remain active in the Sportsman classes of racing, which are geared more toward the grassroots and semi-professional racers.
This means that one of drag racing's biggest names, John Force, will be left looking for new sponsorship after next season. Force, 64, has been with Ford for 17 years, winning 15 championships in that time and winning almost half of all Funny Car events in his Mustang since he started working with Ford in 1997, but after 2014, there could be some big shakeups at John Force Racing.
According to the report, Force would consider is moving over to the Top Fuel dragster series, although he could also move to another manufacturer to remain in the Funny Car series. With Ford on the way out, this leaves just Toyota and Dodge as the remaining active automakers in the highest levels of drag racing.

Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.
