I purchased this truck in 2010 and haven't had any issues with driveability. I would feel comfortable driving it from Alabama to California. The cruise control, air conditioning, power locks/windows, radio/cd player all work fine. All fluids are good as well. I used the four wheel drive last week in the rare snow that we had and it works great. The truck has the 4x4 off road package and towing package. I've pulled bass boats and trailers with no issues. It really was a great little truck for me; I just traded my car in for a GMC Sierra and now it's time to sell this truck.

As far as maintenance is concerned, I put new All-Terrain tires on it in 2012 and probably have less than 10,000 miles on them (I have a daily commuter car). I had to replace the alternator on it last year, and put in a new battery. While I had the the alternator off, I went ahead and replaced the serpentine belt so it's basically new. I also replaced the front ball joints, brake pads and rotors last year as a weekend project.

The only thing I would like to note is that if you want to unlock the doors with the key (I always use the remote), the key only works on the passenger door. But seeing as how I always used the remote, this was never an issue for me.

My preference is that the buyer come pick up the vehicle instead of shipping. I can meet at the airport if needed. I am located in Tuscaloosa, but I don't mind driving to the Birmingham airport if need be.

Ford talking unibody Ranger replacement

Mon, 18 Feb 2013

Now here's some welcome news. Car and Driver reports Ford is seriously mulling a replacement for the recently deceased Ranger, but the successor to the compact pickup's throne may not look anything like what we've seen from the nameplate in the past.
While speaking at the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Doug Scott, marketing manager for Ford Trucks, said there's still a market for a smaller pickup, but that buyers expect to see a larger differentiation between the smaller utility vehicles and their full size counterparts in price, capability and fuel economy.
According to Scott, that means a vehicle with a payload capacity of around 1,000 pounds paired with a towing capacity of 3,000 pounds and "a dramatic reduction in fuel consumption." But the biggest piece of that recipe is the price tag, and Scott says to keep the MSRP far enough away from the already cheap F-150, the answer could come in the form of a unibody design. Scott says target customers in this market don't care whether the truck has a traditional frame or not, so long as it's tough enough to do the job and has the capability they need.

Ford's Simple Suit Makes You Feel Like A Drunk Driver

Tue, Mar 25 2014

We've all heard about the dangers of drunk driving for practically our entire lives. Whether it's from PSAs on TV or lectures in school, no one can claim ignorance of drunk driving being extremely dangerous. However, that doesn't prevent some people from still doing it. Ford is trying to take the safety message directly to young drivers with a special suit that allows them to simulate driving under the influence. It is all part of Ford's Driving Skills for Life program that gives free driving education to young people. The program is meant to "train kids in skills they don't learn in driver's ed," said Kelli Felker, Ford Safety Communications Manager, to Autoblog. The drivers don a few items to impair their senses and make them off-balance to simulate having a few too many drinks and then go out on a closed course with an instructor to see the effects. Felker said that the suit is a new part of the program, and Ford just received the outfit in the US. It will be incorporated into the training here in the late spring or early summer.

MotorWeek turns back the clock with the 1994 Mustang and Camaro

Thu, Jan 14 2016

The Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have battled it out for pony car supremacy for as long as most of us can remember, and the latest examples of both coupes continue to offer buyers impressive performance for their price. MotorWeek's Retro Review series remembers a classic battle in that fight in a video that pits the 1994 Mustang GT against the Camaro Z28 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. MotorWeek smokes the tires on both of these coupes at the speedway and shows off how they handle on track. Both vehicles come away with their own advantages in the challenge. The red Mustang packs Ford's 5.0-liter V8 with 215 horsepower and a five-speed manual gearbox. The MotorWeek crew praises the vehicle's stability at high speed and the ease of driving it around the track. The Camaro wins on power with a 275-hp 5.7-liter V8, and the show lauds the Chevy's six-speed manual. Check out the video to relive one entertaining skirmish in the ongoing pony car war.
