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.

Autoblog's June 2019 Editors' Picks
Wed, Jul 10 2019Each year we review, test and rate hundreds of brand-new cars, trucks and SUVs. We rate these vehicles using the Autoblog score, giving a select few our Editors’ Pick. Here are the best cars we drove in June 2019. 2019 BMW 8 Series Everyone on the Autoblog staff loves a good grand tourer, so we were excited to get behind the wheel of the revived BMW 8 Series, specifically an M850i Coupe. A good GT needs to be as fast as it is stylish and comfortable, and the new 8 Series delivers. We particularly like the 523-horsepower twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8Â’s copious power and smooth ride quality, even on MichiganÂ’s pockmarked post-winter roads. We dig the interior design, too, though not everyone was in love with the exterior. ItÂ’s not the best-handling car in its class, and doesnÂ’t hide its sizable proportions very well, but itÂ’s still worth a look if youÂ’re looking for a big, fast cruiser. 2019 Ford Expedition Crossovers may be the hottest vehicles on the market, but thereÂ’s still a sizable demand for traditional body-on-frame SUVs like the Ford Expedition. These behemoths offer plenty of space in addition to truck-like capability. We like the Expedition's smooth ride, powerful twin-turbo V6 and sharp exterior design, though the interior can feel a bit cheap, especially on some of the more expensive trims. Adding options quickly puts it into Lincoln Navigator territory, and itÂ’s hard to recommend the Ford over the Lincoln when the latter packs the same capability into a far nicer package. Still, the Expedition is as good or better than the competition in most respects, and thatÂ’s why itÂ’s one of our picks. 2019 Toyota 86 Few cars at any price point are as much fun as the Toyota 86 (and its twin, the Subaru BRZ). We like the 86Â’s balanced chassis and sharp steering, and while itÂ’s not as nimble as its close rival the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the ToyotaÂ’s back seat and trunk make it a more usable vehicle. But while we like the 86Â’s driving position, the rest of the interior feels cheap and dated, especially the infotainment system. We complained about the anemic powertrain back in 2012, and itÂ’s only gotten worse as the years have gone by.
Jim Farley to lead Ford of Europe

50 new vehicles by 2025: Ford making big push in China
Tue, Dec 5 2017SHANGHAI — Ford will launch 50 new vehicles in China by 2025, including 15 electrified vehicles, the U.S. firm said at an event in Shanghai on Tuesday, as it looks to rev up sales growth in the market and shift towards cleaner electric cars. Ford's sales in China have been weak in recent months, and the company is scrambling to come up with electric and hybrid vehicles to comply with strict Chinese quotas over production and sales for so-called new energy vehicles, or NEVs. The U.S. automaker is undergoing a broad review of its China operations, part of a strategic re-think under new Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett, which will likely see the company focus on electric commercial vans as well as electric cars. "Between now and 2025, we will launch 50 new vehicles in China, and of those 50 new vehicles, 15 of them will be all-new electrified vehicles," said Peter Fleet, Ford's head of Asia Pacific, pointing to big growth in the "utility" segment. Fleet also said Ford's China revenue would grow by 50 percent over the same period. China is pushing automakers toward electric and hybrid petrol-electric vehicles, setting tough quotas for NEVs that come into play in 2019, and has signaled a longer-term shift away from traditional internal combustion engine cars. The major shift in the world's largest auto market has jolted some automakers, sparking a spate of recent electric vehicle (EV) joint ventures in the market. Ford has announced an EV tie-up with China's Anhui Zotye Automobile Co Ltd. "We've never seen change like we do today," said Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford. "Everything is being disrupted" by the development of autonomous vehicles, trends such as ride-sharing and electric vehicles, he added. "It's clearly the case that China will lead the world in EV development, and so we at Ford are investing enormous amounts of money both here in China and globally to bring electrification into fruition."
