1999 Ford Ranger Xlt Sport on 2040-cars
Yonkers, New York, United States
In nearly 13 years and more than 110,000 miles, my 1999 Ranger Sport has never let me down, but my life is changing and my vehicles are changing with it, so I'm putting the old girl on the block. Bought this truck in 2001 and have changed the oil every 3K miles, attended to whatever needed to be done, and kept all the maintenance records to prove it: Serpentine belt at 52K, shocks and struts at 70k, ball joints at 82K, Idle Air Control Valve, front rotors, calipers and pads, rear pads, four new tires and alignment at 111,000K and a PCV valve, spark plugs and NYS inspection at 117,600.
The truck comes with an aftermarket moonroof that is removable for full sun, a set of fitted seat covers, a folding tonneau cover and best of all, a Shurtrax "bladder" for extra traction in bad weather. This is a 4X2 truck but you fill the bladder with water in November and it freezes, forming a 300 lb weight right over the rear axle. It's fitted to the bed and works great. Much better than sand bags or bricks. This truck has a clean CARFAX establishing ownership and mileage, and is accident free (except for the pole I sideswiped at 5 mph in a parking lot last winter in the snow - had the fender replaced and painted. AC works great (re-charged last year) as does the heat and CD player. It's not a show truck but looks pretty good for its age. Only things I can think of that don't work: driver's side power mirror goes up and down, but for some reason not forward and back, and the O/D button hasn't worked in years (but I honestly wouldn't use it anyway.) Smooth, six cyl, regular gas, auto trans, etc. etc. This is a nice truck and, as part of our family for all this time, I'll hate to see it go. NADA value is $5,650, my reserve is way lower. You are welcome to come by for a test drive, I'm in Yonkers, NY. Happy bidding. |

2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.
Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.
A tribute to William Clay Ford
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The passing of William Clay Ford has been a big event for the company he spent most of his life helping run. Ford spent 57 years working for his family's company. Considering the Blue Oval has been around for over 100 years, WCF's passing is the end of an era for the Dearborn-based manufacturer.
Ford's YouTube channel has issued a short memorial video highlighting the life of the longest-lived grandson of company founder Henry Ford. It follows William Clay from his time as a boy, showing him alongside his grandfather, through his younger years, and into his twilight, as the patriarch of the Ford family.
Take a look below for this touching memorial video on William Clay Ford.
