This1998 Ford Ranger originated here in Western North Carolina. Purchased locally and owned by an elderly gentleman since new. I have had it for about a year. The miles are absolutely original and proven by NC Inspection Records and Carfax. The driver seat had a hole in it so I had both seats professionally reupholstered. I also had more padding placed in the seats for longlife wear. They were originally tan colored. These are the original seats just reupholstered. Recent entire clutch replacement (everything) to include new shocks. I had a 2" Leveling kit installed and placed those nice Kelly tires on it to give this ranger more ground clearence and a more aggressive appearence. The truck is very dependable has never let me down once. The transmission is strong and smooth and the 4X4 works perfectly. No oil leaks, no smoke and it drives like a truck with 50K miles on it. The engine compartment is clean. The interior is basically spotless. No cracks, rips or tears. Power steering and excellent brakes. The tires have probably less than 300 miles on them. The rims are after market to accomadate the larger tires. There is a good spare mounted underneath.
The A/C is very cold and the heat is very hot. I would not hesitate to drive this truck anywhere in the United States as is. This truck needs nothing but a new owner. The truck does have pings and scratches here and there. No major dents and no visible signs of rust anywhere. The under carriage looks good with no major rust issues or other concerns. The A/C for whatever reason occaisionally blows the air out of the defroster instead of the vents. The cabin is still very comfortable when it does do this. I am not aware of any issues with this truck. I would never intentionally sell anything without fully disclosing a major issue. This truck is not perfect by far, but it gets compliments everywhere it goes. it is clean, dependable and has a great history of being well cared for and adult owned. There is a matching camper top I had painted to match that goes with the truck if you want it. It is in great shape and very useful. The truck is located 20 minutes from Asheville NC in Waynesville. I am happy to accomadate anybody to make this as pleasureable as possible. I have bought and sold big ticket items on Ebay for over ten years. My feedback is perfect due to complete honesty. These trucks are getting harder to find in this condition with this mileage. You will not be disapointed. Please ask as many questions as you like. I am sellig to buy a family member a car. If you have a clean low mileage car I am certainly open to trading and will add money to the deal if need be.

Ford supports bid for Detroit Rallycross race with Motown-minded Fiesta ST vid
Mon, 01 Jul 2013As Ford continues its cheerleading effort to help bring the 2014 Summer X Games to its hometown of Detroit, MI, it has released footage of its 2014 Fiesta ST Rallycross car on location at some of the city's well-known landmarks. This video appears to have been shot around the same time as the previous X Games Detroit video was made, but it focuses 100-percent on rally car action.
With Ford Racing driver Andreas Eriksson behind the wheel, this Fiesta ST lays down some serious rubber atop Detroit's Cobo Hall parking structure, at Belle Isle and around the Michigan Central Depot. Detroit isn't alone in the bid for a three-year X Games contract as Chicago, Austin and Charlotte are also hoping to play host. The winning host city is expected to be announced this summer. Scroll down for Ford's two-minute video showing the Fiesta ST Rallycrossing through the Motor City.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Ford pranks unsuspecting blind dates with Mustang GT and stunt driver
Thu, Feb 12 2015There's 'speed dating,' that ludicrous get-to-know-you ritual devised by The Inquisition of Mating, and then there's 'dating at ludicrous speed,' which is a better description of what Ford has done in this latest video for the 2015 Mustang GT for your Valentine's Day enjoyment. The Blue Oval used a professional stunt driver to hook six guys into going on a little car trip, but the setup is the key – she pretends she's not that good at driving, until she's really good at it. You can check it out above. Kudos to the guy who goes from "You might want to shift again" to "That's what I'm talking about!" without any question. And the ninja.
