Ford Ranger Pickup, Will Sell Here And Now - N.e. Philadelphia - Drive It Home on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
|
NO RESERVE: THIS WILL SELL! This is a 2004 Ford Ranger Pickup truck. It is the basic truck, with Air Conditioning, am/fm stereo. It is owned by my father who is 78 years old, and did not want to sell it. He is the second owner. He bought it from a dealership January 2009, with 65,800 miles, and the previous owner was a national elevator company. So it was very well maintained with fleet service. The truck now has 111,000 miles and the same excellent maintenance since. The truck starts every time quickly, quietly and purrs. The interior has not been vacuumed or wiped down, not even a car wash; so you can see this really is how the truck has been everyday. Since my father has been diagnosed with his problems, the truck just sat for the last 2-3 years. He would go out to start it, drive it around the block or the occasional trip to Kmart. Non smoking truck. Interior is really nice. No tears, no cracks, wipe it and it will look new. Most recently he started the truck and the Check Engine light came on. I drove it to Advance Auto they read the code and said it may need Catalytic converter. During an emission inspection a last year, a new Oxygen Sensor was installed. About 4 years ago, it needed a transmission, that was covered by the extended warranty. The only other thing that might need attention is the chip on the windshield. It is not cracked, so it may be fine for years, or you can get a "chip filler". I finally convinced my father it is time to sell it, so it will go. There is NO RESERVE, and it is definitely sold AS-IS. The truck is in Somerton section of the North East Philadelphia, close to Bustleton and Byberry Roads. Call me to make arrangements to see it. Please do NOT CALL with offers, I will let the auction go to the end. Ed - SIX -ZERO- NINE 408-8766 |

70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025
Wed, 11 Jun 2014In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.
Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
Watch how Ford torture-tested the 2015 F-150
Wed, 09 Apr 2014The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the United States for the past 37 years, and the best-selling vehicle outright for the past 32. That's quite a legacy, and thus, it's no surprise that Ford worked super-duper-extra hard on creating the all-new, aluminum-bodied 2015 F-150 that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
During an event at the company's headquarters in Dearborn, MI this week, we were able to see all of the ways that Ford endurance tests, not just the new F-150, but all of its vehicles. From examining things like light exposure to interior materials and paint finishes, to making sure that corrosion absolutely does not happen when steel components come in contact with aluminum panels in the new truck. The goal: ensure that the new F-150 is nothing short of "Built Ford Tough."
But that's only a small part of the story. Of course, the new F-150 has to be able to withstand whatever a pickup buyer might throw at it - and truck buyers arguably demand the most from their vehicles. So in an effort to convey just what the new F-150 had to go through before being given the final go-ahead, Ford has released a series of videos, showing how its new halo truck was indeed torture tested.
