I purchased this truck after the 2 tree year leases was completed. There were only 1,500 of these trucks built by Ford and 1,300 were called in and crushed. This was when, then President Bush, said that Ca., Florida, and the 5 North Eastern Sea Board states could NOT required a specific number of Alternate fuel vehicle be offered. GM and Toyota called in there offerings and crushed them as well. A number of us who owned these vehicles meet in Sac. Ca to demand that they STOP crushing these vehicles! WE managed to save about 200 of these Ford EV Rangers and small number of the EV RAV4's! I was the Fleet Manager for the City of Santa Rosa at that time. I had over 75 Alternate fuel vehicles in the fleet at one time! I saved the 2 Ranger EV's the City owned as well as mine! I live in Santa Rosa, Ca and the vehicle can be picked up here at my home after approved payment is made. I am selling this EV because I have recently purchased a 1998 EV Ranger that had been in storage for over 8 years. It is one of the first 50 built, (Dec of 1997). It has only 10,000 miles on it and will need the Battery Pack updated from Lead Acid to Lithium Ion. My 2000 Ranger has approximately 75,000 miles on it, has all the up dates installed (including an external oil pump for the Transaxle). It has NImH batteries and provides a 50 mile range, NOTE: a 220 volt charger is included! It also has a full , above cab camper shell, which can go with the truck, or I can remove it and supply a New Bed Liner in place of the shell! Shipping to the buyer will be the buyers responsibility! The truck is very clean and you can find pictures on the EV Trading Post sight. I am asking best offer over $10,000!
The last 2 2000 EV Rangers that sold here from the SF area, went to AZ. and the buyer paid $15,000 each, plus shipping! (about a year ago) Any questions, please contact me at chammond@pacbell.net (no phone calls, as I am very hard of hearing at this time in my life!

2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.

Has the 2015 Ford Mustang gained hundreds of pounds?

Sun, 01 Jun 2014

Automakers face competing interests when it comes to developing a new generation of vehicle. On the one hand, companies want to build their cars to be safer and better handling, with more equipment and maybe even larger dimensions over the model it's replacing. On the other hand, they strive to keep weight down to the benefit of both performance and fuel consumption. Usually something has to give, and in the case of the new 2015 Ford Mustang, those efforts may have resulted in a weight penalty of two or three hundred pounds.
This according to Blue Oval modifier Steeda Autosports, which states that "the 2015 Mustang ended up gaining 200-300 pounds in this remake". Despite the Mustang not being on the market yet, it would appear the leading Ford aftermarketer has been given early access to the 2015 model to help jumpstart its tuning efforts (a rather common development among trusted tuners). If Steeda's assertion is accurate, that would make the challenge of getting the new pony car up to speed for both Ford and aftermarket customizers like Steeda that much greater.
We're waiting for official word from Ford on the veracity of Steeda's claim, but if true, it's bound to be a bit of disappointing news for legions of Blue Oval performance enthusiasts. Watch this space for more.
