345 HP Ram pickup, step on over......
No doubt ford will make this bad boy.

2004 F-150 Lightning

Keep in mind that it's just a concept, but I sure hope the production version will put out that kinda power.

Wow! That thing is sweet. I love how the gear shift is set on a console for short throws, although the mustard yellow interior could use some work

That partricular truck is a concept but my rumor mill has said that ford has nailed down the contract to start using the lysholms and wuit using eatons which is where they are getting the biggest power boost form.

That's funny. I didnt know Ford was making trains!

Its ugly!

Stang_Crazy · 01-23-2003, 08:45 PM

I think it looks pretty good. I'll bet the production version will make closer to 450hp though. Still a ton of power.

tireburner163 · 01-23-2003, 09:43 PM

It's a concept....the production truck won't be as radical looking.

The production truck won't make 500hp.......more like 400.

You guys have heard of the dodge guys putting a Viper V10 in they're truck? Ford better use that A/C power. We're going to need it.

Damn... that is crazy. But like mentiond it's just a concept so no need to get all ravelled up yet. Exterior I don't mind, the interior needs some work though. Ford doesn't seem to be to good with the interior and there concept cars. I guess all research goes into the motor, which is fine with me.

Wow, if it comes out just like that, I might have to give up mustangs, and move to lightnings

MEDIK418 · 01-26-2003, 01:05 AM

Actually, other than the hood and the big wheels, it looks identical to the standard 2004 F-150 that Ford is already advertizing for release in August. I'm saving up for a new one meself. (the XLT, no way can I go the Lightning)

OnMy3rdStang · 01-26-2003, 06:35 AM

yeah, I know its only a concept right now but no doubt it'll be fast!!

Dodge will be producing (i think) basically a lowered Durango with a intercooled and supercharged Hemi. Its supposed to have 445 HP (i think) and run 1/4 mile in about 13.??? seconds its and 4 wheel drive i think too.
