1970 Ranger XLT. I am 2nd Owner of this truck. It was bought and used as a furniture delivery truck in western mountains of Virginia. It was used local and driven very little over the years. It was parked in 1997 and stored until 2012 when I purchased it. The truck is fully documented with 46,100 original miles. I have almost every year that it was inspected and mileage was documented each time. Also, the 1997 inspection sticker is still on the windshield. I have all the literature with the truck, power train warranty card, owners manual, inspections checklist, maintenance records, and factory truck literature. 


The truck was thankfully stored in a garage from 1997 to 2012 or it would be junk now. Once I got the truck home, I installed a new fuel cell, did a complete tune up, and it fired right up. I put all new wheel bearings and seals in each of the four axles, new power break master cylinder, all new breaks (power drum) in each wheel. The tires had no dry rot, but had flat spots, so I installed 4 new Cooper Discoverer (M&S - Mud and Snow) 245/75R/16 Tires. After that, I only had to change a few light bulbs. The truck is tight, drives straight, stops straight, and is ready now to drive daily. I drive the truck local each week. This is a truck that would be perfect to drive as is or fully restore to make show quality due to how original it is with low miles. 

Options: this is a behind the seat fuel tank delete! The truck has the factory fuel cell under the bed with factory tool box behind the seat. I have owned many of these trucks and this is the first one I have ever seen with this option. Manuel 3 speed w/ Dana 60 rear end powered by 360V8. Truck drives and shifts great. Truck has factory clearance lights on the top (they work), rear cargo light (works), back up lights work (almost never the case). Even the interior lights work (even when both doors open) so it has been well preserved. The truck does have surface rust but now major rot. The only exception is the two front cab mounts need to be replaced. They cost about 40.00 each and labor would be about 150.00 to install so that could be fixed for about 230.00 to 250.00. No modifications have been made to this truck as it has same 4 hub caps as it came with, original paint, carpet, motor, trans, and rear end. Also, when you look at 1967 - 1972 (same body as this truck) on e-bay motors, you never find more that about 10 or less of this at one time. Also, all of these are for sale on the West coast, so finding them on the East coast (in the South) is particularly hard to find these days. 

Truck has a very fair and firm reserve price. If you want to contact me (if you are a serious buyer) to set up a time to inspect/drive truck, then please feel free to call. I hate to sell this truck, but I am almost finished with a 1966 C-10 and I want to finish. This is not a must-sell situation, so if reserve is not met, I have no issues with keeping. 

Thanks for looking at my 1970 Ranger XLT F-250. Contact Mark with questions at (828) 755-4642.

Expert: 54.5 mpg CAFE standard can be reached without many plug-ins

Sat, Jan 18 2014

Johnson Controls executive Brian Kesseler isn't likely to get any holiday presents this year from Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn or Tesla Motors head Elon Musk, but lots of other folks might be happy with what he has to say about automakers' efforts to reach stricter fleetwide fuel-economy standards. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress, Kesseler said automakers wouldn't need to sell an extensive number of plug-in vehicles in order to meet the 54.5 mile per gallon Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard the US government set in 2012 for 2025 model-year vehicles. In fact, he said, components such as stop-start engine technology, turbochargers and direct injection may actually do the trick. Already, things like smaller engine sizes and lighter cars are already playing major roles in spurring fuel-efficiency gains. Of course, Johnson Controls sells batteries specially built for stop-start systems, so Kesseler does have a bit of skin in this game. The 54.5-mpg CAFE standard equates to about a 40-mpg "real world" fuel-efficiency level. To put that into perspective, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in a report late last year that model-year 2013 average fuel economy was an even 24 mpg. That was up from 23.6 mpg for the 2012 model year and 22.4 mpg for 2011.

Ford 2Q profit drops 86% as it restructures overseas

Thu, Jul 25 2019

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Ford's net profit tumbled 86% in the second quarter due largely to restructuring costs in Europe and South America. Net income for the April-through-June period dropped to $148 million, or 4 cents per share. Without the charges the company made 28 cents per share. Revenue was flat at $38.9 billion. On average, analysts surveyed by FactSet expected earnings 31 cents per share on revenue of $38.49 billion. Chief Financial Officer Tim Stone says the company had charges of $1.2 billion as it moved to close factories in Europe and South America. He says Ford already is seeing an impact from its global fitness measures that included a reduction of 7,000 white-collar workers. Ford, which released numbers after the markets closed Wednesday, says its results include a $181 million valuation loss on an investment in a software company, trimming 4 cents off adjusted earnings per share. Its stock fell 6.3% in after-hours trading to $9.68. Stone said Ford is in the early stages of its restructuring, but already is seeing improvement in some regions. Free cash flow also improved by 80% to $2.1 billion in the first half of the year, he said. "We're already starting to see some early benefits," he said. "A lot of work to do." The company expects improvement in the second half of the year as more new big SUVs hit dealerships and more of the restructuring takes hold. Ford on Wednesday forecast pretax adjusted earnings of $7 billion to $7.5 billion for all of 2019, compared with $7 billion last year. The company previously had only said that pretax earnings would improve. Full-year adjusted earnings per share are forecast to be $1.20 to $1.35, up from $1.30 in 2018. Previously it did not give per-share guidance. Ford's U.S. sales fell nearly 5% in the second quarter, according to the Edmunds.com auto pricing site, as the company exited most of its passenger car business. But Stone said sales of the new Ford Ranger small pickup offset much of that as its share of the small truck segment rose 14%. Edmunds, which provides content for The Associated Press, said Ford's average vehicle sale price rose 2.8% to $41,328 during the quarter. In North America, Ford's biggest profit center, pretax earnings fell 3% to just under $1.7 billion, which the company blamed on switching its Chicago factory to build new versions of midsize SUVs.
