All Electric Ford Ranger - Drive Past Gas Stations! on 2040-cars
Deer Park, Washington, United States
For sale is a 1987 Club Cab Ford Ranger that has been converted to electric. Electric conversion was PROFESSIONALLY done. All wiring and components laid out in a safe and neat manner, and labeled so those of you who are curious to how it works can trace everything! It is a great truck for local driving at any speed as it is not limited to 35 mph as many electric cars are. I have regularly used it to run errands, grocery store, hardware, church, etc. It is best suited to local drives, at speeds up to 45, but it will get up to speed on the highway if needed. I have personally driven it 15 miles at 65 mph, but she was tired when she got there :) It comes with the charger specifically suited to its 144 volt system, and the charger can sense 110 or 220 and charge accordingly.
Everything works just fine and it is a good looking truck, it looks like it only has 30,000 miles total! You would never know to look at it that it is an electric vehicle, it looks like any other Ranger truck, BUT it just passes by every gas station in sight! The transmission is a little funny, just one of its quirks, not bad at all. It is actually a brand newly rebuilt 4 speed manual transmission, but the funny thing is that there is no clutch. Weird, I know, but perfect for this electric truck. You actually shift it like the big semis, you just let off the throttle for 1/2 second for the motor to slow, pop it out of gear and right into the next one, then accelerate again. Its crazy at first, but you get the hang of it really quick :) As I mentioned before, it is a 144 volt battery system, there are 24 batteries, each at 6 volts, so that they could keep the amperage high. The batteries are regularly tested and "watered" although they never need much. As a whole, the truck has around 500 miles driven since the conversion. That means the batteries, motor, controller and everything but the body is nearly new! I have the receipt for the Curtis Controller, it was $1500! My reserve price is way under the cost of all the parts if you bought them separately, and you get the install and the truck for free! Happy Bidding, and I will respond to any questions you have! |

Next Shelby Mustang to wear GT350 nameplate
Fri, 21 Jun 2013Earlier this month, rumors started to swirl 'round the web about the next-generation Ford SVT Mustang - the halo version of the all-new 2015 'Stang seen testing in the gallery above. Originally, we heard that the Shelby GT500 moniker would be dumped in favor of "a name you're familiar with," which some sources guessed could mean a return of the Cobra nameplate.
That might not be correct. According to Road & Track, citing a report from Mustangs Daily, the new range-topping Mustang will bring back the Shelby GT350 name - currently used on an aftermarket version of Ford's Pony produced by Shelby American (take a look at our recent Quick Spin of that car). Expect the new GT350 to be quite a bit different than the current GT500 - it will be all motor, using a V8 that's derived from the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Coyote engine (though it will no doubt have a higher displacement). The GT350 will be a lot more powerful than the next Mustang GT, which is expected to offer something like 450 horsepower, but won't be quite as absurd as the 662-horsepower GT500 we currently enjoy.
The Shelby GT350 will reportedly bow with the rest of the new Mustang range at the 2014 New York Auto Show, which coincides exactly with the original Mustang's debut at the New York World's Fair in 1964. If that seems far out, don't worry, we'll be seeing the rest of the 2015 Mustang range before then, but Road & Track reports that the 2014 Detroit Auto Show stage will be reserved for the reveal of the next Ford F-150 pickup.

BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index
Mon, Oct 10 2016While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
