For sale is a 1987 Club Cab Ford Ranger that has been converted to electric. Electric conversion was PROFESSIONALLY done. All wiring and components laid out in a safe and neat manner, and labeled so those of you who are curious to how it works can trace everything! It is a great truck for local driving at any speed as it is not limited to 35 mph as many electric cars are. I have regularly used it to run errands, grocery store, hardware, church, etc. It is best suited to local drives, at speeds up to 45, but it will get up to speed on the highway if needed. I have personally driven it 15 miles at 65 mph, but she was tired when she got there :) It comes with the charger specifically suited to its 144 volt system, and the charger can sense 110 or 220 and charge accordingly.
Everything works just fine and it is a good looking truck, it looks like it only has 30,000 miles total! You would never know to look at it that it is an electric vehicle, it looks like any other Ranger truck, BUT it just passes by every gas station in sight! The transmission is a little funny, just one of its quirks, not bad at all. It is actually a brand newly rebuilt 4 speed manual transmission, but the funny thing is that there is no clutch. Weird, I know, but perfect for this electric truck. You actually shift it like the big semis, you just let off the throttle for 1/2 second for the motor to slow, pop it out of gear and right into the next one, then accelerate again. Its crazy at first, but you get the hang of it really quick :) As I mentioned before, it is a 144 volt battery system, there are 24 batteries, each at 6 volts, so that they could keep the amperage high. The batteries are regularly tested and "watered" although they never need much. As a whole, the truck has around 500 miles driven since the conversion. That means the batteries, motor, controller and everything but the body is nearly new! I have the receipt for the Curtis Controller, it was $1500! My reserve price is way under the cost of all the parts if you bought them separately, and you get the install and the truck for free! Happy Bidding, and I will respond to any questions you have! |

New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides
Mon, 22 Jul 2013It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.
Next Ford Raptor spotted wearing aluminum skin
Wed, 07 May 2014Well, look at what we have here. Judging from these spy shots, Ford is indeed working on the next generation of its off-road-ready F-150 Raptor pickup truck. We've made no attempt to hide our appreciation for the Baja-style truck, which combines most of the usability of a fullsize truck with heavy-duty suspension components to make a kind of performance vehicle that is unique in the market.
What we haven't known, until now, is whether Ford would push forward with its Raptor program now that it has a completely new F-150 to serve as its base. And that's especially true since Ford made the bold move of switching the bodywork of its best-seller from tried-and-true steel to aluminum. As you can see above, the front and rear of this silver truck are clad in current-gen Raptor bodywork, while the center section that houses the occupants appears to come from the upcoming 2015 F-150.
Dissecting the views above, we note a few interesting tidbits. First, there looks to be a bulge in the truck's hood. Second, we see a new grille between the current Raptor's headlights, sporting a mesh finish and two horizontal bars. Lastly, our eyes can't help but lock in on those burly A-arm suspension pieces down below, not to mention all that ground clearance the specialty suspenders bring to the table.
Baby Ford Ranger and electrified Dodge Challenger? | Autoblog Podcast #569
