08 Ranger XL 2.3L DOHC engine w/ Automatic OD transmission that's been tweeked a bit.
Runs & drives great! safe & dependable transportation. Uses regular gas.
The mileage will increase until sold. - Mileage quoted is as of 8-4-2013.
I bought this when I owned a 08 Mini Cooper S model that needed many repairs off & on. This was my alt. transportation while getting it repaired. I sold the MINI and bought something new so this is now sitting most of the time and that's a shame since it drives so well.
I bought it at 293K in January of this year, and removed the engine & transmission after having it a short while. Both worked but the engine was really worn and I wanted a truck you could drive anywhere. In March I bought a 07 Engine w/50K from N. Carolina, and a Transmission w/Torque Converter from LKQ in Ontario that came out of a 09 Ranger with 29k. The Ranger engine runs & drives like it has only 50K on it at best, it's smooth shifting trans indicate the seller told me the truth. No leaks, overheating, or slipping from the trans, just good performance. New Plugs, coolant & 3 oil changes to date just to flush the engine well, not knowing it's total history. I used High detergent oil for 500 miles (that now becomes chain saw lube), semi synthetic for 2,000 miles, and currently, fully synthetic motor oil. The oil looks & smells new, it will always be good for 5000 + miles between changes, with good synthetic oil.
New Goodyear Wrangler Radial tires & new Cragar wheels with Chrome Center Caps & with all new TPMS clamps & sensors installed & working perfectly. 04/2013
Front brakes replaced last weekend 07/2013: Ceramic pads w/ drilled rotors-all new, bearings lubed with Mobil 1 synthetic grease, inside & out.
New windshield, wiper arms & wiper blades:) 04/2013 (it had a minor crack above the mirror & I replaced it to get full coverage insurance)
The front end parts appear fairly new, there was a history of minor impact & I suppose they had to replace the front end components & lights.
Re-cycled Gentex Auto-Dim rear view mirror installed:) 04/2103
HID headlamps 6000K
New OEM plugs & Wireset as well as a new Ign. Coil, TPS, and MAF sensor. 05/2013
New power window units:) 03/2013
Power door lock cylinders:) 03/2013
Remote Start, "THOR" 2 Way FM 3000 meter Keyless Entry/Alarm system:) Installed 04/2013 I've walked blocks from my car and started it using this exact same system-it's really long range. If someone messes with your truck, it can trigger the alarm on the truck, or, just notify you through the remote so that you can catch them in the act. It really works well. Has various settings including auto start in extremely cold weather.
New fuel pump assembly installed 05/2013.
New Battery, 01/2013
I suggest you come and see it before buying or bidding just to satisfy your own curiosity. I think it's a heck of a truck at the starting price, and I know I've spent more than that price, in getting it into this good of shape.
The pictures were taken today, without much prep, I will clean it up some before letting anyone pick it up and drive it home. If you want it shipped, you do the work and I'll work with your shipping agent to be available as needed.
Good luck, send questions if you have any and I'll respond ASAP.

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Ford gives police chiefs tech to surveil officers in their own cars
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Police officers certainly have a difficult job in keeping the streets safe, but as public employees in positions of authority, there is still a very real need for oversight. To that end, Ford is partnering with a tech company to offer a new system called Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement on its line of Police Interceptor patrol vehicles that could make cops safer, while giving cities a better idea of what its officers are doing.
The system streams live data about cruisers back to the home base to people like the police chief or shift supervisor. That info includes expected things like speed, location and cornering acceleration, but it gets incredibly granular as well, with records of things like if emergency lights are on, or even if an officer is wearing a seatbelt.
Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement "ought to protect officers as much as it protects the public," said Ford spokesperson Chris Terry to Autoblog. Constantly monitoring patrol cars offers cities a lot of advantages, too. First, it reduces potential liability because a department can prove where each vehicle is at all times. Also, officers know they are being watched and may potentially drive more safely.
