This was pretty much the top of the line model and most expensive option package Ranger available in 2008. I'm the second owner. It spent the first 58,000 miles and four years of it's life in the moisture and salt-free environment of New Mexico. For the past two years (and only 8,000 miles) it's been in Wisconsin-- but kept in a heated underground garage the entire time.

I'm asking near the high end of the blue book range because it's a Southern truck and has some features not shown on the Kelly Blue Book website. I've installed an epoxy bedliner, new battery, recent coolant flush, new thermostat, and a brand new clutch (with lifetime warranty). It also has (legally) tinted windows and comes with detached factory running boards (which I removed because they just seemed kind of pointless).

Carfax shows that it had a minor accident in 2009 (before I owned it). It is truly impossible to find evidence of any body repair anywhere. The salesman I bought it from believed that the windshield had gotten cracked and the previous owner had filed an insurance claim to get it replaced-- hence the entry. The tires are good and no mechanical issues whatsoever. This is really a near-pristine example of the now-extinct compact pickup class, with most of its life still ahead of it.

**As far as the transaction goes, the bank still owns a chunk of this truck-- and in WI they hold onto the title when that is the case. If I get a couple days lead-time after payment (and before delivery), I'll obtain the title. Otherwise, the successful buyer will likely have to make a quick trip with me to the bank (during normal business hours) with cash or cashier's check to complete the transaction and get the title transfer document.

Ford announces 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Ford has pulled the wraps off its anticipated 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition model, a new variant of the popular street-legal off-road specialist. In a nutshell, the "special" is all cosmetic - there are no mechanical upgrades to the truck and its 6.2-liter V8 (411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque), Torsen limited-slip differential, beadlock-capable wheels and internal triple-bypass FOX Racing Shox dampers all remain untouched.
The SVT Raptor Special Edition, which adds cosmetic enhancements to the existing Luxury Package, will be offered in Ruby Red Metallic and Tuxedo Black Metallic with box-side graphics. The interior upgrades include Brick Red seat bolsters (with black inserts), cloth honeycomb highlights and a console top finish panel.
As of now, Ford has only release a couple pictures of the Special Edition model. But check back later, as we will update the gallery when additional high-res images are released later today, and be sure to peruse the press release below for all the details.

Watch NASCAR racer Brad Keselowski do a burnout... in a hotel conference room

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

A vast majority of hotels frown upon smoking inside the building these days, but Brad Keselowski doesn't follow the rules. During his introduction at the 2013 MiilerCoors Distribution Convention, the reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champion smoked the tires of his Miller-sponsored Ford Fusion stock car, adding a pair of thick, black stripes to the carpeting of the Marriott World Center's conference room.
This definitely isn't a high-quality video, but it's the perfect vantage point to watch Keselowski lay down some rubber and receive a well-deserved standing ovation after pulling up in front of the crowd. Check out the short-but-sweet video posted below.

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).
