All Electric Ford Ranger - Drive Past Gas Stations! on 2040-cars
Deer Park, Washington, United States
|
For sale is a 1987 Club Cab Ford Ranger that has been converted to electric. Electric conversion was PROFESSIONALLY done. All wiring and components laid out in a safe and neat manner, and labeled so those of you who are curious to how it works can trace everything! It is a great truck for local driving at any speed as it is not limited to 35 mph as many electric cars are. I have regularly used it to run errands, grocery store, hardware, church, etc. It is best suited to local drives, at speeds up to 45, but it will get up to speed on the highway if needed. I have personally driven it 15 miles at 65 mph, but she was tired when she got there :) It comes with the charger specifically suited to its 144 volt system, and the charger can sense 110 or 220 and charge accordingly.
Everything works just fine and it is a good looking truck, it looks like it only has 30,000 miles total! You would never know to look at it that it is an electric vehicle, it looks like any other Ranger truck, BUT it just passes by every gas station in sight! The transmission is a little funny, just one of its quirks, not bad at all. It is actually a brand newly rebuilt 4 speed manual transmission, but the funny thing is that there is no clutch. Weird, I know, but perfect for this electric truck. You actually shift it like the big semis, you just let off the throttle for 1/2 second for the motor to slow, pop it out of gear and right into the next one, then accelerate again. Its crazy at first, but you get the hang of it really quick :) As I mentioned before, it is a 144 volt battery system, there are 24 batteries, each at 6 volts, so that they could keep the amperage high. The batteries are regularly tested and "watered" although they never need much. As a whole, the truck has around 500 miles driven since the conversion. That means the batteries, motor, controller and everything but the body is nearly new! I have the receipt for the Curtis Controller, it was $1500! My reserve price is way under the cost of all the parts if you bought them separately, and you get the install and the truck for free! Happy Bidding, and I will respond to any questions you have! |

Weekly Recap: Ferrari, Ford and Porsche power up for Geneva
Sat, Feb 7 2015Monday was Groundhog Day. Tuesday, apparently, was Sports Car Day. The Ferrari 488 GTB, the Ford Focus RS and the Porsche Cayman GT4 all debuted within hours of each other ahead of their rollouts at the Geneva Motor Show. Three sporty machines, three vastly different approaches – and a lot of implications for enthusiasts. That's a day worth repeating. It also illustrates the opportunities automakers see in the performance market, which is expected to grow in the coming years. Ford estimates the segment has expanded 14 percent in Europe and surged 70 percent in North America since 2009. The Detroit Auto Show was evidence of this, and performance cars of every stripe debuted, including the Acura NSX, Ford GT, Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and several others. This isn't a fad. Performance cars aren't going away. The question is why? Stricter CAFE standards are looming in the United States, as are tighter emissions regulations in Europe. And no one expects gas prices to remain low in America. None of this matters for sports cars, and automakers are increasingly using them to elevate their images. That's why Dodge rolled out two 707-horsepower Hellcats last year. It's why Ford has decided to resurrect the GT for road and track. It's why in the depths of bankruptcy, General Motors continued work on the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, not to mention the Z06. "Great brands are made one car at a time," Ford of Europe president Jim Farley said at the reveal of the Focus RS. Still, companies make those cars for different reasons. View 5 Photos Mainstream brands like Ford and Dodge want to build cars that get people talking, excite their bases and drive more potential customers into the showroom. They probably don't buy a Focus RS or a Hellcat, but suddenly the regular Focus hatch looks a bit hotter, and that V6 Charger seems to be just a touch more muscular. The halo of performance is alive and well in the eyes of automakers and their customers. "It's one of the most effective catalysts for ingenuity and innovation," said Joe Bakaj, vice president of product development for Ford of Europe. That also leads to a trickle-down effect. Some of the technologies inevitably make their way to other products. It's hard to think the new all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS that distributes torque front to rear and side to side won't be used in other vehicles. It's different for Ferrari and Porsche.
Ford recalling 65k Fusions from 2014 and 2015 because key can be removed
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Ford is recalling an estimated 64,869 examples of the 2014-2015 Fusion, Fusion Energi and Fusion Hybrid in North America because the key can be removed when the vehicle isn't in Park under certain conditions. Specifically, the campaign covers 56,479 units in the US, 6,048 in Canada and 2,342 in Mexico, according to the automaker's tally on November 11.
Ford says a programming problem in the instrument cluster means that the key can be removed 30 minutes after the ignition is turned off, even if the transmission is not in Park. The situation where this could happen seems quite limited, and the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. However, the fault puts the vehicle out of compliance with federal regulations covering theft protection and rollaways, and must be repaired.
The fix is easy: Ford will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to consumers. According to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker in an email to Autoblog, "We will notify customers the week of January 5th." Scroll down to read Ford's announcement.
