2004 Ford Ranger - Great Shape, Strong Motor, Very Clean on 2040-cars
Lawrenceville, Georgia, United States
|
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. |

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls
Tue, 04 Nov 2014
Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
Ford, Samsung shack up to bring regen braking to non-hybrid models [w/video]
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Ford must be desperate to get itself ready for the beach this summer because it is really trying to get into shape. Shortly after unveiling the Lightweight Concept that cut the weight of a Fusion down to that of a Fiesta, it's now the rest of the line's turn for improvement. The company is wrapping up a 10-year research project aimed at developing next-gen automotive batteries to improve efficiency.
Ford claims that 70 percent of its lineup will have stop/start tech by 2017. The key to this massive proliferation is its new dual-battery system that combines a lithium-ion battery with a lead-acid one and regenerative braking. The setup works by harvesting braking energy and converting it to electricity. When the vehicle stops, the engine shuts off, but the Li-ion battery has enough juice to keep the accessories running. The engine starts up again as drivers take their foot off the brake. The layout would mean less wasted gas while idling. It's already available on Ford hybrids and is somewhat similar to the i-Eloop capacitor-based system from Mazda.
The bigger challenge is tuning the regenerative braking right. While hybrid drivers may be a little more adventurous, when it comes to getting a hang of regen braking, conventional buyers might not be so open-minded. The systems have a tendency to be a little grabby at first and then taper off at very low speeds. Ford needs to make sure it's just right to avoid turning off buyers.
Ford recalls 434k vehicles for several unrelated issues
Mon, 07 Apr 2014It seems that the hard winter in much of the country has been as rough on some Fords as it has on many people. The Blue Oval is recalling roughly 434,000 vehicles in two separate recalls, and one of them partially caused by the salt used to melt the snow on roads.
The first recall covers 385,750 2001-2004 Escape models in the Midwest, Northeast and Canada because a subframe could rust and eventually fail. This is partially due to the road salt used in those areas, and about 349,000 of the affected vehicles are in the US. To remedy the problem, dealers are installing a reinforcement cross brace on the frame to strengthen them. There has been one crash caused by the failure but no injuries. According to The Detroit News, this is not the first rust-related recall for Ford. It estimates the company has repaired over two million vehicles since 2010 for problems on vehicles related to the iron oxide, including the rear wheel wells of the Freestar minivan.
The second recall covers 48,950 2013-2014 Ford Fusion, Escape, C-MAX and Lincoln MKZ models because welds in their seatbacks don't meet National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standards. The fault affects the front seats, and the sub-standard welds joining the setback to the recliner could increase the chance on injury. There have been no reported injuries or accidents caused by the problem, but there are 42,972 affected vehicles in the US and 4,744 in Canada.
