Please read all of description! I have a very detailed description so all bidders including out of state buyers have a fair shot at buying with confidence. Must sell this week. NO RESERVE   I am selling my 1996 Ford Ranger XLT Extended Cab 2 door pickup truck. It has been in our family for at least 5 years. I bought it from my father in law. I used it as a 2nd vehicle until my daughter needed a vehicle. She drove it her last 2 years in college. She got a new car upon graduating college, so I got my truck back again. It has been great to have around. From hauling trash,picking up lumber or what ever, it served its purpose. I bought a full sized 4x4 4door truck so we have decided to sell it. I will describe it as well as I can. 

It still has a lot of life left. I hate to sell it because it's always handy to have a truck around that your not worried about getting a door ding or a scratch on. I just can't justify having 2 trucks. Keep in mind this truck is 18 years old. It's not without any issues. If you are looking for a show truck or one with no issues keep looking, but if you want a truck that will get you from point a to point b and still have a decent look to it without breaking the budget this may work for you. Perfect for a construction worker, a young person that wants a truck with good bones that they can make their own or a reliable truck just to have around. 

The Good: V6 automatic, xtra cab, power equipment-still works! Alloy wheels,decent tires, A/C is cold,stereo works well. Body in good shape, no rust or damage. Bucket seats no rips or tears. New battery, New windshield (replaced because of rock chip that spread)

The not so good:  check engine light and abs light come on periodically. (Has done it since day 1) Doesn't affect the drivability so I never addressed it. Headliner material has splits in several places. The black and white plastic controls on the steering wheel have come off over time. The cruise control still works though. The top surface,(paint) mainly the hood is getting that crow feet look. If you're 5 feet away it looks great. There are scratches here and there, the largest one on the drivers side. Nothing you wouldn't expect a truck over 15 years old to have. The speedometer works fine. The odometer does not. I am selling it to have true miles unknown. I do not know when it stopped working all together. We would change the oil and filter every 4 months. We didn't put very many miles on it so we serviced it based on time. 

I am putting the truck up for auction at No Reserve. Bid to win!  I am marketing the vehicle locally for $3500. If you want to buy it now for that price I reserve the right to end the auction early. I need to sell it in the next week so act quickly. Good luck and thanks for bidding.

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally lands on Google board

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally often referred to the Blue Oval as a technology company when he led the automaker. Now he'll be offering guidance to a different kind of technology firm: Google.
Mulally was appointed to Google's board of directors July 9, and late Tuesday, it was announced that he will serve on the company's audit committee. The veteran executive led Ford from September 2006 until he retired in June, succeeded by Mark Fields.
While Mulally will act as a board member - rather than in a managerial role - his presence adds credibility to Google's recently announced plans to produce an autonomous car. The ambitious program calls for 100 prototypes to begin testing later this summer. Production of the car is rumored to be in collaboration with a Detroit area performance company, Roush.

2014 Ford Cobra Jet announced with new colors, parachute mount

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Ford's drag-strip-ready Mustang Cobra Jet is back for 2014, and it's sporting a few changes to make it even better - both in competition and while sitting still. Rolling off the assembly line ready for duty in the NHRA Stock or Super Stock classes, production of the 2014 Cobra Jet is limited to just 50 units.
Racing upgrades for 2014 include the addition of a new three-speed transmission and a parachute mount, and while these will make the car better in the quarter mile, the Cobra Jet's new colors will make it look better tearing down the track. Buyers can now get their racecars painted up in Gotta Have-It Green or a custom, Cobra Jet-exclusive matte black hue. Ford and Ford Racing have already teamed up to make this an incredible factory drag racer with a full rollcage, massive Hoosier slicks, a race-tuned suspension setup and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. Now, if only wheelie bars came standard...
Unlike the confusing third-party ordering system announced for the COPO Camaro, all you need to snatch up a 2014 Cobra Jet is $97,990 and good timing (as the cars will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis). Ordering opens up next month with production commencing in July. Check out the press release below.

Ford investing $500M in engine plant for 2.7L EcoBoost production

Sun, 30 Mar 2014

Ohio is a hot area for Ford at the moment with the announcement just a few weeks ago that production of the next-generation F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks would move from Mexico to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Now, Ford is investing $500 million to hire 300 workers at its Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, to add production of the twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for the 2015 F-150.
The latest investment will be used to add a new flexible engine assembly system and renovate 700,000 square feet of the plant for machining and assembly areas. The Lima factory already builds Ford's 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter Duratec V6 engines. The plant opened in 1957, and it's on track to build its 40 millionth engine later this year.
Ford claims that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will offer V8 performance with better efficiency in the F-150. It comes standard with intelligent stop/start that doesn't activate when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, and it's made from a combination of compacted graphite iron and aluminum for low weight and high strength. The company says that V6 engines have already proven popular in the F-150 with 57 percent of trucks in 2014 being equipped with either the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter or turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines.
