Yes Henry hater me, probably as over the last couple of days I've seen 2 classic Mustangs and an F150. (I was looking at a Dodge Ram (the same modal that's in GT
4 with almost 200 words in the name) at the weekend but having seen the F150 I prefer it, and it wasn't even the quick Lightning modal)
Yeah, I'm quite partial to the F150 myself. I can't understand how anyone would disgrace it by actually putting things like spades n shit in the back :(
Ta, G.

IIRC our Excursion is based on the same chassis as the F150..
can you get the F150 with the 6.8 V10? That would be most amusing.
Doesn't the lightening model have some 400bhp or summet?
Go for the Dodge Ram SRT-10. It's got 8.3 litres of V10...
Straight out of the Viper :D
No, 300bhp and 365lbs/ft, 5.4 litre 24 valve V8 'Triton'.
380 iirc from a small 5.4l V8 (with a supercharger) which I think is the same basic unit they dumped into the GT.
I can only find the 300bhp version on the Ford US Trucks website?
I can't find the lightning listed there.
See, you'll be after an Expedition next. And there's nothing wrong, and an awful lot right about the new Mustang. You can even change the colour of the dashboard lights.
Without having to change the lightbulb .

There's an F-150 Lightning in York. Black.
Aye a few relatives have the F-150 over in California. One F-250 but I had to test drive the F-350 Super Heavy Duty with the PowerStroke diesel. :)
They're a utility vehicle where Charle comes from, so they're cheap. Lots of kids either fit 33" chrome rims with 400/10 profile tyres (okay okay but you get the idea) and then have it as low as low can be...
Or fit the same wheels with bigger profile tyres and jack the suspension up!
Oh and fit sufficient stereo equipment in the back that you could probably head on the East Coast...
Most are not especially quick in a straight line compared to the V6 or V8 sedan but then they don't need to be.
Go take photos of the one in York for me :)
I need to catch it on a twisty road again. Significantly quicker in the straight bits and up hills, materially slower in the twisty stuff...
Well it is a bit of a barge :D
But it's cool. In California, the cornering issue isn't really an issue because:
(a) you have to drive to find a corner (b) when you get there, somebody is always going slow and the police are _very_ keen on nicking foreign drivers cornering at speed .
