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.

Creations n' Chrome Top Notch Mustang is a one-of-a-kind fox
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Is there a cooler car from the 1980s and early 90s to mod than a Fox-body Ford Mustang? No, there isn't. If you disagree with us, we suggest you have a look at this 1990 Mustang Coupe, which just might change your mind. Although considering just how extensively modified this car - the Top Notch Mustang from Creations n' Chrome - is, we wonder just how much Ford is left in this old pony.
It rides on a custom race tube chassis that weighs a scant 700 pounds, while carbon-fiber bits and bobs help lower the overall curb weight to a mere 2,400 pounds. When paired with supercharged, 5.0-liter, Aluminator V8 from Ford Racing, the results are, doubtlessly, exciting. 855 horsepower at the rear wheels and 667 pound-feet of torque are available from that force-fed V8 should be just plenty for this car's intended purpose of running in standing-mile competitions.
The Top Notch Mustang is more extreme than just weight savings and a big engine, though. That 5.0-liter is essentially in what's known as a front-mid layout - where the engine is actually behind the front axle. In this case, the 5.0-liter V8 is 17 inches further back than a factory Fox-body, for better weight distribution. As a result, the cabin has been completely overhauled. An SLA front suspension, wheels from HRE, Wilwood brakes and Sparco interior items round out the extensive list of mods.
Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines
Mon, 27 May 2013Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.
Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.
