Up for sale is my 2004 Ford Ranger. This truck has been nothing but awesome for the past 3 years I've owned it. I gave the truck a full tune up about 20,000 miles ago including plugs, wires, cleaning out the throttle body and intake system, lubing up any necessary components, flushing the transmission fluid, the power steering fluid, recharging the a/c, changed the air and fuel filters, oil, and oil filter. The truck got new drums in the back about 10,000 miles ago and the pads up front were replaced about 15,000 miles ago. The tires are all in good shape and have a good 40-50% thread left. I purchased the tremor package wheels and tires as that's not what originally came with the truck and it transformed the ride completely. Last weekend I rotated and balanced the tires. I also installled a new windshield on the truck about 3 weeks ago. It also has an aftermarket Kenwood unit with USB and auxiliary connections and Pandora capabilities.

I purchased the truck when it had just under 110,000 miles from a used car lot in Tennessee. I was told by them that the truck had been involved in an accident but they repaired everything and had the truck inspected to be legally drivable in Tennessee which it passed with flying colors. When I bought it, I had to get it re-inspected in Georgia to be able to register it and again it passed with flying colors.

That being said, this is a ten year old truck and it's not perfect. It has a few imperfections that are all minor but I'll mention them just to be as transparent as possible. The driver side door and fender have a couple of dents from someone opening the door and denting it in a parking lot. I wasn't able to catch them so I didn't get it fixed but the dents are not very significant and there's no paint peeling, just a couple of small dings. The tailgate has a couple of dents as well and there are a couple of minor scratches on the right side but not visible unless you're up close. In the interior, the only imperfection is a rip in the seat that can be seen in the pictures. Obviously, none of this is mechanical and all purely cosmetic and not visible or enough to be an issue for me as a daily driver.

This truck is in great shape. The engine pulls strong and shows no signs of slowing down. I haven't towed much with this truck since I bought it either, just my jet ski twice when I used to have one. It constantly gets me between 20 and 23 miles per gallon combined and has a more torque than 4 cylinder compacts out there getting similar mileage. Anyone that has owned Rangers in the past knows these trucks run forever. If you have any further questions, please let me know and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Volkswagen Golf, Ford F-150 named 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Congratulations, Volkswagen Golf/GTI and Ford F-150. You've just been named the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year, kicking off the first press day of the Detroit Auto Show. The Golf faced some seriously stiff competition from its runners-up, the Ford Mustang and Hyundai Genesis. But the Golf has been a highly awarded vehicle since its launch, including recently being named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. As for the Truck/Utility award, it wasn't immediately clear that the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 would win the North American honor, topping the Chevrolet Colorado and Lincoln MKC. The Chevy, after all, has been widely praised since arriving this fall, including taking home MT's Truck of the Year award. In 2014, Chevrolet had a sweep of the NACTOY awards, with the Corvette Stingray and Silverado taking top honors. Here's a look at the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year voting breakdown. As you can see, it wasn't exactly neck and neck. Car of the Year Volkswagen Golf/GTI – 256 points Ford Mustang Â– 204 points Hyundai Genesis Â– 110 points Truck/Utility of the Year Ford F-150 Â– 297 points Chevrolet Colorado Â– 205 points Lincoln MKC Â– 68 points The winners were determined by the votes of 57 North American jurors who work in all forms of media Â– magazine, newspaper, television, online and radio, and their ballots were tabulated in secret by accounting firm Deloitte & Touche. Autoblog editors Sharon Carty and Chris Paukert are members of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year jury.

2015 Ford F-150 brings big aluminum to the Rust Belt [w/video]

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

Just when you thought you'd figured the fullsize truck market out, Ford goes and throws us a massive curve ball with the 2015 F-150. The big headline news aren't tow or payload ratings, though we're sure those figures will be fully competitive if not class leading, they haven't yet been announced. Instead, the big headline news Ford is highlighting are the truck's new aluminum-intensive structure and 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
And with good reason - all that aluminum means that Ford was able to cut a massive 700 pounds from the truck's curb weight. That is going to cause all sorts of great things to happen to the 2015 F-150's driving dynamics, performance and fuel efficiency, not to mention its ability to haul heavy loads. For those customers worried about the strength of aluminum versus the more conventional steel, Ford is quick to point out that many military vehicles, such as the HMMWV and Bradley Fighting Vehicle, use a very similar sort of aluminum alloy in their construction.
It's also worth mentioning that the backbone, a fully boxed ladder frame, is hewn from high-strength steel. Ford says "2015 Ford F-150 is the strongest and most durable F-150 ever," for what it's worth, claiming that "torture tested" in labs and in the real world for more than 10 million miles. What's more, the truck, in disguised form, completed all 883 miles of the Baja 1000.

Ford, Volvo join Redwood in EV battery recycling push in California

Mon, Feb 21 2022

Ford and Volvo will join battery recycling startup Redwood Materials in developing processes, starting in California, to collect end-of-life batteries from electric and hybrid vehicles and recover the materials for use in new batteries, the companies said Thursday. Redwood Materials, co-founded by former Tesla executive JB Straubel, formed an earlier partnership last fall with Ford to develop a “closed loopÂ” or circular supply chain for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, from raw materials to recycling. On Thursday, Redwood Materials said it would work directly with dealers and dismantlers in California to identify and recover end-of-life battery packs. The materials in those packs will be recovered and recycled at Redwood Materials facilities in northern Nevada. U.S. automakers Ford and General Motors Co (GM) have said the battery recycling effort is crucial in efforts to develop a domestic supply chain to meet increasing EV demand. GM and battery partner LG Energy Solution last year announced a partnership with startup Li-Cycle to recycle battery scrap material from Ultium Cells, the GM-LG joint venture that is building battery plants in Ohio, Tennessee and Michigan. Redwood Materials has similar partnerships with battery makers Panasonic in Nevada and Envision AESC in Tennessee, as well as with Amazon. Ford and Amazon are among the investors in Redwood Materials. Reporting by Paul Lienert in Detroit; Editing by Mark Potter Green Ford Volvo Green Automakers Electric
