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.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.

2015 F-150 launch to curb Ford profits?

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Ford is making a big bet on aluminum with its new 2015 F-150, and it's possible that the decision will hurt the company financially, at least in the short term. After earning a record $8.6 billion in 2013, the Blue Oval does not expect to set another record in 2014. According to Automotive News, that's "largely attributable to F Series," says Bob Shanks, Ford's Chief Financial Officer.
To retool for the new F-150, Ford will idle its Dearborn Truck Plant in Michigan for 11 weeks and the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri for 2 weeks. "3 of the 13 overall weeks occur during what normally is our summer shutdown timeframe," said Mike Levine, Ford Trucks Communication Manager, in an email to Autoblog. The extra 10 weeks will be preparing for the more aluminum-intensive construction for the trucks and will mean over 2 months of no F-150s being made. For comparison's sake, Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne just confirmed that the 200 plant in Sterling Heights, MI will be down for 30 days to retool for the new model, but obviously there are many more F-150 production variables than for the midsize sedan.
Levine notes that Ford is already running three shifts at both plants, and says the automaker has plans to ensure that there is adequate supply of the full-size pickups during the retooling process. The company does not want to suffer a shortage of the vehicle that accounted for 31-percent of its 2013 US sales and an even bigger percentage of its profits.
