1999 Ford Ranger Xlt Sport on 2040-cars
Yonkers, New York, United States
|
In nearly 13 years and more than 110,000 miles, my 1999 Ranger Sport has never let me down, but my life is changing and my vehicles are changing with it, so I'm putting the old girl on the block. Bought this truck in 2001 and have changed the oil every 3K miles, attended to whatever needed to be done, and kept all the maintenance records to prove it: Serpentine belt at 52K, shocks and struts at 70k, ball joints at 82K, Idle Air Control Valve, front rotors, calipers and pads, rear pads, four new tires and alignment at 111,000K and a PCV valve, spark plugs and NYS inspection at 117,600.
The truck comes with an aftermarket moonroof that is removable for full sun, a set of fitted seat covers, a folding tonneau cover and best of all, a Shurtrax "bladder" for extra traction in bad weather. This is a 4X2 truck but you fill the bladder with water in November and it freezes, forming a 300 lb weight right over the rear axle. It's fitted to the bed and works great. Much better than sand bags or bricks. This truck has a clean CARFAX establishing ownership and mileage, and is accident free (except for the pole I sideswiped at 5 mph in a parking lot last winter in the snow - had the fender replaced and painted. AC works great (re-charged last year) as does the heat and CD player. It's not a show truck but looks pretty good for its age. Only things I can think of that don't work: driver's side power mirror goes up and down, but for some reason not forward and back, and the O/D button hasn't worked in years (but I honestly wouldn't use it anyway.) Smooth, six cyl, regular gas, auto trans, etc. etc. This is a nice truck and, as part of our family for all this time, I'll hate to see it go. NADA value is $5,650, my reserve is way lower. You are welcome to come by for a test drive, I'm in Yonkers, NY. Happy bidding. |

Ford F-Series Super Duty prototype reduced to smoldering mess of aluminum and steel [UPDATE]
Mon, 04 Aug 2014The most important bit of information you need to know after looking through our high-res gallery of images depicting a prototype 2016 Ford F-Series Super Duty pickup truck burning to the ground is that nobody was hurt. There were two engineers inside the vehicle when it caught fire, and both exited to safety.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the truck, which appears to have been testing in Death Valley, appears to be a total loss, minus, of course, whatever information Ford can glean from the conflagration - particularly tracing it back to its root cause. Besides that, we're also expecting the body of the next Super Duty to be hewn from aluminum, as is the case with its smaller brother, the brand-new F-150. Note the little aluminum droppings littering the roadway as apparent proof of that.
Our spy photographers report that it took just 21 minutes for the F-Series Super Duty to burn completely to the ground. The fire appears to have started in the driver-side front wheel well, spreading to engulf the entire front end in three minutes. We can't confirm the source of the blaze, but we're curious if the car's black vinyl cladding, meant to obscure the secrets within, contributed to the fire.
Ford Police Interceptors win acceleration war against Dodge, Chevy
Thu, 17 Oct 2013Just last month, Ford announced its first-ever non-pursuit-rated version of the Police Interceptor sedan for agencies looking to maximize fuel economy, but that doesn't mean that Ford is giving up on chasing down the bad guys. While the Dodge Charger can lay claim to the fastest lap time at the Grattan Raceway test facility held by the Michigan State Police, the results are now in for the Police Vehicle Evaluation acceleration tests. And Ford's Police Interceptor duo (sedan and utility) came out on top.
In the acceleration tests, Ford says that the Taurus-based PI Sedan with the newly available 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 was the quickest among prospective police cars in both 0-60 and 0-100 mile per hour times. The sedan posted a 0-60 time of 5.66 seconds with all-wheel drive and 5.71 seconds with front-wheel drive, besting V8-powered competitors like the Chevy Caprice and Dodge Charger by more than 0.3 seconds. These rivals close the gap on the AWD sedan in the 0-100 test with the Ford taking 13.5 seconds compared to the Chevy's time of 14.35 and the Dodge's time of 14.7.
As for utility vehicles, the Explorer-based PI Utility, which accounts for 60 percent of Ford's police vehicle sales, essentially went head-to-head with the V8-powered Chevy Tahoe with similar results. Equipped with the new EcoBoost engine option, this big SUV hit 60 mph in just 6.28 seconds and 100 mph in 15.51 seconds compared to times of 8.22 seconds and 21.95 seconds, respectively, for the Tahoe. Other important tests in the PVE include braking and top speed, but while no automakers have stepped up to boast about their numbers in either of these categories, Ford's images show that the V8 Caprice had the highest top speed of the cars at 155 mph while the Tahoe's 139-mph speed made it the fastest utility vehicle.
Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!
