 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 adding stop-start to all major model lines

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.

Ford Transit gets outfitted for prison duty

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

Between the Taurus-based Police Interceptor, the Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility and the F-150 and Expedition special service vehicles, Ford has no lack of offerings for law enforcement. And now it has one more in the form of the new Transit PTV.
Based on the fullsize Transit van, the Prisoner Transport Vehicle can move as many as 12 prisoners in three separate compartments between detention facilities. Created in collaboration with Pennsylvania-based Havis Prisoner Transport Solutions and with input from Ford's Police Advisory Board, the Transit PTV takes advantage of the Transit's considerable configuration options that include three roof heights, two wheelbases, three lengths and four body-styles - not to mention engine options that include the flex-fuel 3.7-liter V6, 3.5-liter EcoBoost and 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel.
"Transit PTV is the latest example of Ford's deep commitment to helping provide law enforcement agencies with capable vehicles. This concept proves Transit is upfit-ready and designed to Built Ford Tough standards," said Jonathan Honeycutt, Ford police marketing manager. "Many Police Advisory Board members have had the chance to drive this vehicle and they are excited about it. This new vehicle is tough, smart and efficient - ideal for the needs of law enforcement agencies."

Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
