1998 FORD RANGER EV. FACTORY ALL ELECTRIC VEHICLE. I purchased this vehicle in July 2011. The truck had its original 39 8volt batteries and did not run. In January 2012 I replaced the batteries with 26 group 31, 100 amp hour batteries using the spoof method found on www.fordrangerev.com. the batteries were larger so I placed 9 in the bed using a custom bracket. The factory charger was not working so I replaced it with a Elcon ev charger that works on 110 or 220 using a adapter. After getting the truck working properly I set out to make it unique. I purchased a 2003 ranger edge and transferred the bed, bumpers, grill, hood and mirrors. Then I had it wrapped with lightning graphics. I also added a bed cover, f150 side steps, custom wheels and tires and a light bar. I took the truck to 1 ev car show in Orlando in 2012. It was the talk of the show as most have never seen or heard of a factory electric ranger. Not even the guys from ford showing their Focus. Since then I have driven it about 2500 miles. They way I have it set up I reset the computer with the NGS and the gauge reads 39 miles to empty. roughly half charge. I then drive it 35-40 miles then just plug it in a regular 110 outlet and let it charge overnight and reset again. This keeps the batteries from being run down more than half way. The truck runs and drives great and a/c is cold. It does not have any warning lights or codes. intermittently it will buck when braking and the brake light will come for a few miles after a full charge. I believe this is caused by higher than normal voltage from the larger batteries not allowing the motor to regenerate. After using up some of the battery it is smooth. I also have a factory battery pack jack from the dealer along with several charging stations and a additional factory battery charger if you want to put it back to factory charging. All these parts are used and I have no way to test them to see if they work. Everything I have for this truck is included in the sale. I have had fun with this truck but it is time to let someone else have fun with it. I am now looking for another project. The exterior is in great shape although the wrap job is not perfect. The interior is mint. You wont be disappointed. I have over 20k invested. I am also interested in trade for car, truck, boat, plane, guns ????. anything of value.

NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.

Next Ford Raptor spotted wearing aluminum skin

Wed, 07 May 2014

Well, 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.
