Up for sale is my 2001 Ford F150 dedicated Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) pickup.  Equipped with a reliable 5.4L Triton V8 engine and automatic transmission.  This truck spent most of its life in a government fleet and has only 89,986 miles!  Current CA registration is valid through April, 2015.  High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) access stickers are included, but were never installed since there aren't HOV lanes in my area.  Smog certification will be provided if required in your area. 

Condition

Drivetrain

Engine runs strong with no lack of power.  NO knocks, NO smoke, NO oil leaks.  Underside of engine and transmission are bone dry.  Transmission shifts into and through all gears smoothly as it should.  Has proper acceleration and runs smoothly at highway speed.  This was a fleet maintained vehicle with regular servicing, including oil changes at proper intervals.  

Exterior     

Paint has most of its factory shine as you can see.  No major dents or rot on the body.  There are minor dings, scrapes and scratches.  If you look closely, you can still see evidence of the city decals that once resided on the driver and passenger doors.  Overall, the body is very straight and paint is in good condition for its age.

Interior

Interior is in good condition with average wear.  As noted in the photos, there is a small tear in the driver side of the bench seat.  Rubber floor is in good condition with no major wear.  A/C blows ice cold and heat blows hot.  LED odometer display is temperamental, but can be brought back to life by tapping on the clear cluster bezel.  This is a common problem with these trucks that can be easily fixed by re-soldering a connection on the instrument panel circuit board.  Do a quick Google search for more information on the repair if you’re interested.  This causes no interference with the odometer accuracy as it continues to advance when the display is not functioning.

Wheels and Tires

Tires have approx. 40% tread remaining.  As documented in the photos, paint on the steel wheels is beginning to flake off in spots.  Matching set of factory Ford hubcaps.  Spare tire is missing.

CNG System

This truck has three factory-installed tanks (one underneath and two in bed) with a CNG tank capacity (per owner’s manual) of 21.7 US Gasoline Gallon Equivalent (GGE) @ 3600 psi.  Typically these trucks have an average range of approx. 275-325 miles, but I have noticed this truck gets around 200 miles per fill.  Perhaps one of the solenoid tank valves is stuck in the closed position.  This repair could be as simple as repairing a bad ground or as extensive as replacing a valve.  The in-bed factory tank shroud was replaced with a more robust diamond plate aluminum cover.

Payment Details

A non-refundable deposit in the amount of $500.00 must be made via PayPal within 24 hrs of auction close.  Balance to be paid at time of pick up via certified/cashier's check from a verifiable institution, US postal money order or cash (preferred).  Personal checks will not be accepted.  Item must be picked up in Exeter, CA within 10 days of auction close, unless you make other arrangements with me in advance.  

Shipping

I would prefer selling to an individual who is capable of taking delivery in person.  If you require shipping, please contact me before bidding to discuss.  Vehicle is located in Exeter, CA 93221. 

Warranty

I have described the condition of this truck to the best of my ability and cited all faults that I would appreciate knowing about as a buyer.  That said, it's a 13 year old used truck and is therefore being sold as-is with no warranties expressed or implied.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me prior to bidding. 

Good luck!


On Sep-20-14 at 09:01:28 PDT, seller added the following information:

The tank expiration year (2015) is clearly displayed inside the fuel filler door (see photo), but one person wanted to know the exact month.  Tanks expire in September, 2015.  Thank you and good luck.  –Matt

Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.

Ford adds third shift at F-150 plant to keep up with demand

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

The signs have been very positive for Ford's F-Series line of pickup trucks as of late, and after 24 consecutive months of increasing sales of the best-selling F-150, the automaker has added a third production crew at its Kansas City Assembly Plant that includes 900 new hourly workers to meet demand for the truck. This the first step in Ford's plan to add 2,000 hourly jobs at the plant to help meet demand for its trucks and to begin production of the new Transit van, the automaker says.
Despite some tough new competition, sales of the F-Series are the strongest they've been since 2006, according to Ford. The automaker sold 60,449 F-Series in July, the best sales figure for the mid-summer month since 2006, which also represents a 23 percent increase compared to July 2012. From January to July 2013, sales were up 22 percent compared to the same period last year.
Ford has committed to creating 12,000 hourly jobs by 2015, and with the 900 new employees added to the assembly plant in Missouri, the company says it has completed 75 percent of its goal. Ford has also invested $1.1 billion to retool and expand the Kansas City Assembly Plant to ready it for Transit production. Take a look at the press release below for more job and F-Series sales information.
