This is a very strong running, well maintained, mechanically sound truck that I have owned for 10 of its 12 years.  I have always spared no expense with the maintenance, running full synthetic oil and premium filters at every change, and it shows.  Always adult driven; never abused.  Please, don't be scared by the miles - in modern vehicles, its more about the maintenance and HOW the vehicle was driven than how long it has been driven.  As you can probably guess, this has been my daily commuting truck until recently.  I have never had a major mechanical issue, and every major component works as it should. 

I had intended on keeping it "forever" to tow the boat, but I owe the IRS a LOT of taxes.  So, I sold the boat.  Now, with no boat I really have no need to keep the truck, and I DO have a need to pay of the rest of the taxes I owe ($5K), so I'm selling the truck.

Most of the truck's life has been in Arizona, where I commuted between Phoenix and Tucson, and Tucson and Sierra Vista (about 90 miles).   Dry climate, mostly, so no rust on it at all.  I did make several trips between Arizona and Florida. Six, to be exact.  The last time (about a year ago) I was towing the boat.  And I wouldn't hesitate to do it again tomorrow.  That's how confident I am in it being mechanically sound.  I have been extremely happy with the Ranger, and I want you to be, too.  That being the case, I have posted a good number of videos and pictures for those of you who can't make it here to see it in person before the auction ends.  Please ask questions; I'll respond as soon as I can.

The good:  well, most of it, really.  Runs strong, drives well. 

See it run and drive here: http://youtu.be/U_9bnX1x_Z4   and here: http://youtu.be/KznDvtRy5PY    and here: http://youtu.be/cSYX95JpNik

4-wheel high and low work well  There was a common problem with the 4wd control modules going bad.  This has the new, updated control module and has had no issues shifting into 4 wheel whenever I want. 

See it in 4wd here:  http://youtu.be/ZYnOv4FJO98 

The average: The exterior and interior are average, I would say. Sun faded on hood and roof.  Interior shows use.  Carpets have been vacuumed but could use a steam clean.  See the exterior here: http://youtu.be/BVdPCtcndeI  the interior here: http://youtu.be/eN85Qo3T1Xc I  welcome those who want to see it in person.  Contact me and we can set a time.

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively.

How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
