Another Pic!!

 

I think someone else already started a thread about this....

 

UGH sorry you are right I did not see that one!

It is really irritating that I cannot post more than one attachment...and if you add another it replaces the one on your previous post!

 

Ford just needs to re-imagine the lightning and produce the damned thing.

 

It should be fast the way its equipped, it has to weigh at least 900 to a 1000 pounds less then a super cab and with two wheel drive should be fairly entertaining, also it comes with a nice interior, this is no stripper with a sheet metal interior, and the graphics are not that loud, if I didn't have to tow and weren't married, I would have one of these bad boys!

 

what i love is the leather and console in a reg cab. would be a very fun and luxurious daily driver!!

 

I love this, but as a father with two young boys as much as I love the short bed RC I can't use a "Two seater"

I would lose the silly bed graphic & door ones.

Would love the 4.10 rear ale on my '11 5.0L though, wonder if I could buy that gear set and have Ford or a shop install it?

 

Of course you can. Be careful with aftermarket gears as they tend to not have as good metallurgy as OEM. Shop wisely.

 

May not be a lightning but a standard cab short bed with leather and a nice center console will be a nice option for some.

 

Everyone keeps saying "This ain't no lightning etc.." Do you guys know how dated the old Lightning is to a modern truck?

My old company that I worked for had a red 2003 SVT Lightning as a "shop truck" owner of the shop was into muscle and exotic cars and had bought the truck new for his then 16 year old daughter, but she refuse to drive it lol.

I have countless seat time and hooning time in that truck for lack of better terms. Yes it was a riot, but I will be damned if my 2011 F-150 5.0L 2wd with 3.55 & limited slip isn't as fast or almost. It's almost the same feeling when you drop the hammer, similar sound too less the blower noises.

I wouldn't be surprised if the reg cab, 3.5L EcoBoost with 4.10 in 2wd form isn't "faster" than a stock 2003 lightning. The only difference is the EcoBoost is whisper quiet while its passing you lol. You could always lower this truck and add stiffer shocks/ springs and anti roll bars if you want Lightning like handling.

In more ways than one this truck is better than the Lightning as its more sleeper like and probably has the highest tow/ payload rating out of the F-150 range due to the lighter weight of the reg cab, short bed config.

On top of that you probably get 20+ mpg hwy from this little truck. That 2003 Lightning never got better than about 11 or 12 ever, grant it we always had our foot in it everywhere.

 

I gotta say, I think this thing is marketed right at me! I drive a 2010 Lariat Supercrew and have been lusting for a Raptor for a couple years now. My lariat is nice, but the 5.4 just isn't doing it for me. I have driven an ecoboost and they are seriously fun engines! My problem with the Raptor is that it's becoming too much of a bro truck, and I really won't use it to it's full potential very often. I really just want a fun, fast truck. I was also considering getting a commuter car because I am sick of commuting in the supercrew (although it is damn comfy!!).

Enter the Tremor. Ecoboost, check. Short wheelbase, check. 4x4, check. short gears? check. Will have lots of fun aftermarket stuff? Most definitely! Looks great too!

If the Tremor is priced right, then I'll trade in my lariat for one, and just pick up a commuter car for DD, keeping the Tremor as a toy!

Now if only it came with a floor mounted manual

 

i wonder when they will release pricing? for me its either a brand new Tremor or a 2011 lariat limited with the 6.2..but they are still 40+k hoping this might be 35ish? i mean it is more of a play thing for most.

 

Yeah, I'm thinking 36k is a reasonable cutoff for me. Can't imagine paying more than that. A 2011 6.2 would def. be the way to go if the Tremor is more than 36!

 

I dig the looks and the interior, but wish they would've put the 6.2L in this thing. They want it to be a "sport" truck, so blistering acceleration is the name of the game. Practicality should not be a consideration, lol.
