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.
Deposit of US $300.00 within 24 hours of auction close. Full payment required within 7 days of auction close. This vehicle is being sold as-is. | |||

Ford patents a multi-touch version of its classic keypad
Fri, Sep 9 2016For decades, Ford has offered a keypad on the doors of their cars that would allow owners access with the right code. Amazingly, the keypad has survived almost unchanged except for a recent touch button version. A new patent from the Blue Oval shows the keypad may get a big upgrade soon. The first big change is that it looks like the keypad may move to the key fob. Although it might be possible to have it on the car itself as well, the patent only seems to focus on the key fob. In addition, the fob will now be a multi-touch pad similar to that of modern smartphones. This will allow for more diverse code entries, according to the patent's description. Instead of just a simple number code, owners could enter a code that involves swipes and keystrokes, and even simultaneous keystrokes. For instance, you could enter a code that requires swiping from 1 to 3, followed by holding 2 and 4 to unlock the car. The patent also seems to indicate that this keypad would then display unlock functions and other functions on the fob after the correct code is entered, thus making it more than just a way to unlock the car. As for the practical implications of this keypad system update, it could provide an added layer of security. If someone steals your keys, they would have to also know your access code to get into the car. Whether this would also help make the key and car harder to hack would remain to be seen, though. Another possible benefit could be the prevention of accidental lock and alarm button presses, although that likely isn't a common issue. There could be potential downsides as well. If used as an extra layer of security, the legitimate owner would have to punch in their code on the fob to get in, which would render proximity key benefits relatively useless. Moving the keypad to the fob would also mean owners couldn't get into their cars without having the key with them. We don't have any clues as to when this could become a feature, but it doesn't seem like it would be difficult to implement, so it could show up in the next few years.

Chip Foose tastefully enhances his personal Ford GT
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Typically, we'd expect a vehicle from 2006 to fall well short of a more modern vehicle, both in terms of performance and style. Of course, the Ford GT is not your average offering from the Bush era. That's doubly true when the 2006 GT in question belongs to one Chip Foose.
Purchased by his wife as a 50th birthday present, Foose is showing his custom, personalized GT at the 2014 SEMA Show. The 5.4-liter supercharged V8 breathes a bit easier thanks to a full Magnaflow Performance exhaust, but Foose's GT isn't all about the performance.
Instead, the car customizer extraordinaire has focused on tasteful aesthetic enhancement, tweaking the rear end by removing the bumper and trimming the frame extensions. The wheels, meanwhile, are one-off aluminum alloys, designed by Foose himself. Like the stripes, the wheels feature orange accenting.
Lincoln Continental to end after one-and-done generation?
Thu, Mar 15 2018After only 18 months on sale, the vultures of rumor have begun circling above the Lincoln Continental. Ford Authority says "sources intricately familiar with Ford Motor Company's future product plans" for the domestic luxury brand say the Continental won't get another chance at life after this generation. Those sources didn't detail Ford's reasons for dispatching the executioner on another sad task, but if this is true, even the reasons we can only guess make enough sense to justify the move. The Continental launched into a crossover mania still mushrooming in strength like some Marvel villain, the equivalent of a new dinosaur hatching a few months before the Chicxulub Impact Event. In 18 months, the Continental sold 18,846 units, 12,012 of those sales happening in 2017. In the U.S. this year, sales amounted to 1,573 units through February, about 25 percent down on the annualized monthly rate. It could be worse: The Lexus GS has found 1,009 U.S. buyers so far this year, the Acura RLX, 285. Conversely, the Cadillac XTS — yes, a fleet darling — secured 3,163 sales in the same period. And the German kingpins live in another dimension, with BMW scooting 5,641 5 Series models off dealer lots, and the Mercedes E-Class boasting 8,411 sales of all three variants. Even the much more expensive and much more profitable Lincoln Navigator rang up 2,351 sales in the first 60 days of 2018. That's disheartening reading, especially after Ford reportedly spent more than $1 billion to bring the Continental to market. Sedan segment woes look to have killed the Continental's platform siblings, too, making the Lincoln's demise simply part of the cull. The CD4 architecture also underpins the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ. Ford canceled the Fusion redesign and won't commit to making either vehicle after 2020. Lincoln's passenger car sales declined more than 30 percent last month; meanwhile, Lincoln needs to spend its money on the crossovers that are selling, and investment in the coming three-row Aviator that will replace the MKT. Ford has a CD6 platform in development that suits front-, rear-, and all-wheel-drive vehicles. Under previous CEO Mark Fields, a new Fusion, Mustang, and MKZ would ride on the CD6, as well as the new Explorer and a Lincoln brother. Those plans left with the previous administration, and company sources told both Ford Authority and The Truth About Cars not to expect a Continental revival on that architecture. Related Video:
