Vehicle Description
The Ranger by Ford has been around since the 1983 model year and is
currently in its fourth generation of midsize pick ups. The North
American market did see a hiatus from the Ranger line-up for a
brief time but is now back and stronger than ever. The third
generation was built from 1998 through 2012. Yes, that's one heck
of a run but Ford didn't want to ruin a good thing. The third
generation received a ton of upgrades from generation #2 with a
redesigned frame, drivetrain specs and safety features. This
particular truck not only has extremely low mileage but is also a
one family owned since new and has Ford pedigree like no other.
This truck was ordered by retired Ranger engineer Frank Hibbard to
be used directly for the SAE Conference in Asheville, NC in Spring
1998. It was ordered specifically for this event and has the
documentation to back it up. It is one of five trucks that were
built specifically by the Twin Cities plant with direct assistance
from the plant manager. This truck would be the one they would
choose after rigorous visual quality control and the M10 Road
evaluation. After the show it would return to Dearborn to be used
for internal reviews and then being transferred to Enviromental
Testing where it was then sold New with 643 miles from Dean Seller
Ford to the current owner and family. This truck remains in like
new condition still sitting on the original re-called tires. I have
a letter from Ford, copy of the window sticker, owners manuals and
clean carfax. The Autumn orange metallic looks like new. Perfect
storage always, never once driven in the rain and as clean as you
will find. This is a true collector piece.
