Drive Solo in the HOV/Carpool lanes! Make your commute quick and easy. Fill up a tank for half the price!
You are bidding on a 2001 Ford F150 CNG XL with 126,806 miles on it. It was purchased in 2011 from a dealer and had only one owner up to that time. When purchased there were 119,000+ miles on it, so we've only put about 7,000 miles on it in the past two years. It was purchased as a commute vehicle to allow my wife to zip through traffic on the freeway, but rarely used otherwise. Almost all the miles are highway miles.
This truck is in great condition. Great cosmetically inside and out. No mechanical issues. Clean title and no accidents, not even minor ones. Tires have plenty of tread. New battery and shocks were added in 2011, as was a replacement thermostat. No issues or repairs other than that.
This truck operates on Natural Gas only. It can be filled up in a number of different locations, or even at your own home (with a special pump). I have refueled it at either the local PG&E station or at the San Jose Airport. Either work great. Natural Gas burns cleaner than gasoline, and is about half the price, so its nice not having to take out a mortgage to fill up the tank on a truck.
This truck also comes with the optional 3rd CNG tank, which brings the range to about 300 miles. Tanks were inspected in 2011. This is important. By law, CNG tanks need to be inspected every three years, but in my experience, neither dealers nor consumers ever have their tanks inspected. If you are in the market for a CNG vehicle please ensure that the tanks have been inspected (or have them inspected yourself prior to use). The tanks are rated for 3600PSI, although they can also accept 3000PSI nozzles if you are at a station that does not offer 3600PSI (I'm not aware of any in my area, but there may be some elsewhere)
The sound system was upgraded when we purchased the truck, to a new Sony head unit with CD player and Bluetooth capability. WOrks great for taking calls from the road, and it even wirelessly streams music (e.g., Pandora) from your smartphone to the sound system.
Mechanically eveything runs fine. Cosmetically, the exterior is in great shape. I have tried to take pictures showing all parts of the vehicle. There are a few tiny paint chips on the hood, and the front bumper has some scratches in it, both of which I have shown. There are the occasional minor paint chip around the vehicle, but nothing you would notice unless you looked very closely. Way above average for a 12 year old vehicle. The truck bed is a long bed, although the CNG tanks take up some of the space, so it is the equivalent of a normal bed. The bed itself has some worn paint and scratches in it, but it is not noticeable from outside of the vehicle unless you have the gate down. If it bothers you, you can put a bed liner over it, although my wife never seemed to notice because she never used the bed.
Interior is in great shape. No tears in the seat. One of the visors shows some minor wear. One visor clip (the part above the windshield that you snap the visor to when moving it back into position) doesn't work, although the visor holds in place fine without it. Steering wheel shows some minor wear.
The engine is a Triton V8 5.4L, very powerful engine that can tow a boat (with an optional trailer hitch).
If you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area and wish to test drive the vehicle, please let me know. I cannot ship the vehicle myself but if you wish to hire a vehicle delivery service (I can recommend some if need be), then I am certainly willing to cooperate with them.

Ford bringing production F-150 to Detroit with Atlas styling and Alcoa blast shields
Fri, 27 Dec 2013According to a report in Bloomberg, the 2015 Ford F-150 will indeed be showing up at the Detroit Auto Show next month. It will bring attitude with it, not only in the form of sheetmetal inspired by the Atlas concept (pictured) that appeared at the 2013 Detroit show but also in the Alcoa military blast shields among the display being used to showcase the ruggedness of aluminum.
There's been a lot of talk about the F-150 switching to aluminum body panels (although maintaining a steel frame), and for good reason. The lightweight body is expected to shed more than 700 pounds and greatly increase its highway mileage, but production-line issues and possible delays have been a major focus of attention concerning the best-selling vehicle in America for 32 years, meaning Ford has to get it right. F-150 is responsible for a massive portion of the company's global profits and it will come in a year when company profits are already predicted to decline because of new car launches.
When it comes to dings, the Bloomberg story says Ford wants Alcoa to supply some of the military-grade aluminum it uses for blast shields on battlefield vehicles to help it talk up the toughness of aluminum. Reading commentary on the many stories about the F-150 reveals there are many more little questions about the aluminum overhaul, like "How much will it cost to repair and insure?" and "How will companies hang their magnetic signs?" Answers should start coming in a couple of weeks.
Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]
Sun, 08 Dec 2013The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.
Consumer Reports: Ford Fusion fun but flawed; Mitsubishi i-MiEV slow, chintzy [w/videos]
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Waiting for a Ford compliment from Consumer Reports these days is like waiting for a low-cost new product from Apple. So we weren't really expecting a glowing review of the 2013 Ford Fusion when CR got its hands on the car. The institute's crew bought three different versions of the Fusion (Hybrid, 1.6-liter EcoBoost and a Titanium with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost) to put through its barrage of tests, and while we aren't too surprised by some of the findings, they're still interesting nonetheless.
CR praises the Fusion for its "eye-catching" design and says that the sportier Titanium trim level is the best-handling midsize sedan they've ever tested, but that's about where the good news ends for Ford. The Fusion Hybrid also posted the best-ever fuel economy CR has recorded in a midsize sedan, but the only problem is that their number was 39 miles per gallon combined - far less than Ford's 47 mpg rating for city, highway and combined. As expected, CR also dinged the Fusion for its MyFord Touch, but some of the other gripes about the car include a cramped cabin and poor fit and finish.
Other Ford products tested this time around include the Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid. Like the Fusion, CR's observed fuel economy of 37 mpg for the C-Max fell well short of Ford's advertised 47-mpg rating, and both cars were criticized for the use of MyFord Touch. CR notes that the Focus Electric's interior is also cramped, with the battery pack taking up a lot of cargo space.
