Please read all of description! I have a very detailed description so all bidders including out of state buyers have a fair shot at buying with confidence. Must sell this week. NO RESERVE I am selling my 1996 Ford Ranger XLT Extended Cab 2 door pickup truck. It has been in our family for at least 5 years. I bought it from my father in law. I used it as a 2nd vehicle until my daughter needed a vehicle. She drove it her last 2 years in college. She got a new car upon graduating college, so I got my truck back again. It has been great to have around. From hauling trash,picking up lumber or what ever, it served its purpose. I bought a full sized 4x4 4door truck so we have decided to sell it. I will describe it as well as I can.

It still has a lot of life left. I hate to sell it because it's always handy to have a truck around that your not worried about getting a door ding or a scratch on. I just can't justify having 2 trucks. Keep in mind this truck is 18 years old. It's not without any issues. If you are looking for a show truck or one with no issues keep looking, but if you want a truck that will get you from point a to point b and still have a decent look to it without breaking the budget this may work for you. Perfect for a construction worker, a young person that wants a truck with good bones that they can make their own or a reliable truck just to have around.

The Good: V6 automatic, xtra cab, power equipment-still works! Alloy wheels,decent tires, A/C is cold,stereo works well. Body in good shape, no rust or damage. Bucket seats no rips or tears. New battery, New windshield (replaced because of rock chip that spread)

The not so good: check engine light and abs light come on periodically. (Has done it since day 1) Doesn't affect the drivability so I never addressed it. Headliner material has splits in several places. The black and white plastic controls on the steering wheel have come off over time. The cruise control still works though. The top surface,(paint) mainly the hood is getting that crow feet look. If you're 5 feet away it looks great. There are scratches here and there, the largest one on the drivers side. Nothing you wouldn't expect a truck over 15 years old to have. The speedometer works fine. The odometer does not. I am selling it to have true miles unknown. I do not know when it stopped working all together. We would change the oil and filter every 4 months. We didn't put very many miles on it so we serviced it based on time.

I am putting the truck up for auction at No Reserve. Bid to win! I am marketing the vehicle locally for $3500. If you want to buy it now for that price I reserve the right to end the auction early. I need to sell it in the next week so act quickly. Good luck and thanks for bidding.

Ford set to target pre-school market with next F-150 variant

Tue, Jun 17 2014

How do you build a strong group of loyalists from the next generation of American drivers? You start em' young. Ford has taken that lesson to heart, as we can see in the first batch of images of the company's new entry to the pre-school market, the Power Wheels F-150. This particular example was caught returning from testing around Ford's base of operations in Dearborn, MI – covered in tiny little bits of camouflage, too. Now, this could very well end up being a collaboration between Power Wheels and Ford. Then again, it could just be some bored engineers that decided to troll the local congregation of spy photographers, who earlier today captured images of the next Focus RS and SVT Mustang. Whatever it is, it's pretty darn cool. Take a look up top for images of the new Power Wheels F-150.

Spy shooter claims proof of upcoming aluminum Ford F-Series Super Duty

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford has already confirmed that the 2015 F-150 (pictured above) was just the beginning for its more extensive use of aluminum. CEO Alan Mulally said it himself during the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. We've even already seen the future Raptor testing with an aluminum body. But a recent discovery from an intrepid spy photographer might indicate that the lightweight metal is coming to the Blue Oval's Super Duty pickups in their upcoming generation, as well.
According to Automotive News, a spy shooter in Colorado spotted a prototype for the next-gen F-350 testing. He happened to have a magnet on hand and got close enough to check the truck out. When he held it up to the metal in the bed, it didn't stick, which signaled to him a switch from steel to aluminum.
Obviously, this claim raises some questions. Given that it was a test vehicle, one possibility is that the Blue Oval is just evaluating the feasibility of switching to aluminum for the Super Duty trucks, not necessarily committed to it yet. Ford has been testing it quite exhaustively, after all. In fact, much of the rest of the truck in question was covered in camouflage, so it's possible that the magnet failed to work along the rest of the body not because it was aluminum, but because it wasn't powerful enough to get through the disguising material. Thus, the lightweight metal's use could be far less substantial than on the new F-150. Still, it was a clever idea for the cameraman to check things out and might have given us the first hint about brand's next heavy-duty models.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla considers Model III SUV and wagon, Ford tears Tesla apart

Mon, Oct 27 2014

Worries over Brazil's electric grid mean EVs are excluded from green car incentives. As part of a new efficiency program, non-plug-in hybrids will be eligible for a reduction in import duties, while EVs and plug-in hybrids will not. Brazil's government is concerned that the country's grid lacks the capacity to handle the increased load from an influx of EVs. Brazil plans to create a new incentive program - perhaps a more inclusive one - when the current one expires at the end of 2015. Read more at Green Car Reports. Tesla could make SUV and wagon derivatives of the upcoming Model III sedan. Tesla's VP of engineering, Chris Porritt, told Auto Express that to reach as many customers as possible, Tesla would consider all its options. "SUVs, estates - who knows?" says Porritt. He also says that while the company is currently focused on products with a broader appeal, another Roadster or other sports car aren't out of the question in the future. Read more at Auto Express. Ford admits to a Tesla Model S teardown. Ford CEO Mark Fields says that after disassembling, reassembling and driving the model S, his company is "very familiar with that product." He also says the Ford has the capability to build a similarly high-tech, long-range electric car. The questions still remains if Ford has plans for such a vehicle, but Fields says that it fits within Ford's "product philosophy." Read more at Business Insider and at USA Today.
