used car of the day 2006 ford ranger ev conversion

The point of this feature is to highlight interesting vehicles. It doesn't get that much more interesting than this 2006 Ford Ranger that has been converted to electric power.

This truck had about 110,000 miles on it as an ICE vehicle, and about 3,000 miles as an EV.

It needs a battery pack.

There is apparently no rust and the shocks have been replaced. Apparently it is functional -- although, again, it needs a battery pack.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Potential money pit.

MrIcky I think late December-January may be peak time as a buyer. Winter always brings a little better deals plus the next Fed meeting is mid-December so interest rates are likely to drop a little more.

EBFlex Good
Big Al from Oz I'm not a big supporter of tariffs. What I do see is here in Australia the major western (read, US/Japanese) manufacturers have vehicle built in Thailand and are sold at western prices. The Chinese who have higher wages can undercut these Thai vehicles by a 1/3. So where are the inefficiencies in our western manufacturers? I support the import of Chinese vehicles to increase competition to reduce prices. Another example is Tesla. We receive Chinese Teslas sold at US prices, yet BYD can undercut Tesla by a huge margin for a comparable or even better product.
Kwik_Shift_Pro4X Cool if an electrical engineering project. Embarrassing if only to virtue signal.
