This1998 Ford Ranger originated here in Western North Carolina. Purchased locally and owned by an elderly gentleman since new. I have had it for about a year. The miles are absolutely original and proven by NC Inspection Records and Carfax. The driver seat had a hole in it so I had both seats professionally reupholstered. I also had more padding placed in the seats for longlife wear. They were originally tan colored. These are the original seats just reupholstered. Recent entire clutch replacement (everything) to include new shocks. I had a 2" Leveling kit installed and placed those nice Kelly tires on it to give this ranger more ground clearence and a more aggressive appearence. The truck is very dependable has never let me down once. The transmission is strong and smooth and the 4X4 works perfectly. No oil leaks, no smoke and it drives like a truck with 50K miles on it. The engine compartment is clean. The interior is basically spotless. No cracks, rips or tears. Power steering and excellent brakes. The tires have probably less than 300 miles on them. The rims are after market to accomadate the larger tires. There is a good spare mounted underneath.
The A/C is very cold and the heat is very hot. I would not hesitate to drive this truck anywhere in the United States as is. This truck needs nothing but a new owner. The truck does have pings and scratches here and there. No major dents and no visible signs of rust anywhere. The under carriage looks good with no major rust issues or other concerns. The A/C for whatever reason occaisionally blows the air out of the defroster instead of the vents. The cabin is still very comfortable when it does do this. I am not aware of any issues with this truck. I would never intentionally sell anything without fully disclosing a major issue. This truck is not perfect by far, but it gets compliments everywhere it goes. it is clean, dependable and has a great history of being well cared for and adult owned. There is a matching camper top I had painted to match that goes with the truck if you want it. It is in great shape and very useful. The truck is located 20 minutes from Asheville NC in Waynesville. I am happy to accomadate anybody to make this as pleasureable as possible. I have bought and sold big ticket items on Ebay for over ten years. My feedback is perfect due to complete honesty. These trucks are getting harder to find in this condition with this mileage. You will not be disapointed. Please ask as many questions as you like. I am sellig to buy a family member a car. If you have a clean low mileage car I am certainly open to trading and will add money to the deal if need be.

Project Ugly Horse: Part VII
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
2015 Ford Focus Sedan is fresh-faced and ready to defend its Most Popular crown
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has made an art of deeper-than-normal midlife updates since the 2010 Fusion, a strategy that has allowed it to keep models looking fresher in showrooms for longer without needing full redesigns. Instead of slight touchups to light fixtures, new paint colors and perhaps new wheel patterns, Ford has been digging deeper, with significant sheetmetal changes and very different front-end looks, along with an increased emphasis on new in-car technologies to keep models vibrant. Other automakers are following this trend, and Ford itself is continuing on the path with this new 2015 Focus Sedan.
There's a handsome new SE Sport Package that includes a firmer touring suspension, modest body kit and 17-inch wheels.
We first saw this sleek Aston Martin-like nose fitted to a Focus at the Geneva Motor Show last month, but Ford only showed the new look on the five-door hatchback - this is the first appearance of the sedan, which will bow at next week's New York Auto Show. The front end treatment is the same, with a new hood, new headlamps incorporating LED accents, a different grille shape and a completely revised lower fascia that does away with the 2014 model's controversial triangle-shaped corners and gaping intakes. The rear gets a new two-piece, laser-brazed trunk lid with new taillamps, but the overall look is quite similar to last year's car. In any case, the refreshed look brings the Focus sedan more in line with the design of Ford's other recently reworked cars, including the Fusion and Fiesta.
Ford wins second consecutive Engine of the Year with 1.0L EcoBoost [UPDATE]
Wed, 05 Jun 2013For the second year in a row, Ford has taken top honors in International Engine of the Year voting. As was the case last year, it is Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine that earns the automaker the accolade, achieving the highest-ever accumulated score in the 15 years that the award has been handed out.
A panel of 87 automotive journalists from 35 countries are responsible for choosing the world's best engines, and this is only the third time an automaker has managed back-to-back victories. Voters were impressed by the "Baby EcoBoost" engine's power output - 123 horsepower between 1,400 and 4,500 rpm, 148 pound-feet of torque from 1,400 to 4,000 rpm - and its compact size; Ford has demonstrated that the package is small enough to fit in the overhead bin of a passenger airplane.
Currently, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered in the European Fiesta, B-MAX, Focus, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, and Ford plans to put the engine in the Transit Connect, Transit Courier, Tourneo Connect, Tourneo Courier, Mondeo and EcoSport in short order. In North America, the Fiesta will be the first vehicle to offer the 1.0L EcoBoost later this year.
