Electric Ranger 1998
I've just inherited an electric 1998 Ranger which has sat outdoors idle for more than a year. Can anyone recommend a mechanic in Southeastern Michigan that is qualified to perform an evaluation?

Well, they made one, anyway, and I'm stuck with it. It's in good shape, body-wise, but a lot of good that does me.

Maybe you could swap in a conventional drivetrain. The electric drive dump trucks we have at work are terrible.

Or buy a ranger with a rotten or rolled body and swap the new body onto it.

I new Ford made them, they were offered in 1999 too. Never seen one though. Plug her in over night and drive her the next day. I could be interested in her if you don't want her.

Sounds like a good vehicle to have. I've heard that electric vehicles are very economical. Also, they produce little to no emissions.
