Tell us what features/upgrades you'd like to see in the new F-150.

 

soilid axle, small smoker(diesel) with 250 hp and 500 ft.lbs, 7500-8500 gvw. 8 ft bed and crew cab.

 

i would like to see, a new lightning, with different addons such as, several wheel options, engine mods like airintakes,cam covers, maybe even a drag pack option. different horsepower upgrade packages, to give you an idea of what i am talking about think of the mustang and all the ford racing stuff you can buy! kinda like that! i want a complete in your face ford lightning program! why not ! dodge has all there hemi truck and srt truck crap! and chevy has the ss truck! lets get down with some attitude! lets show them whos first on race day! wether its on the track or on the street! and yes the diesel in the f150 is going to be awesome! as well as the 6.2 with the 6spd. ! we need it all!!!! in your face competition stomping products! products that dont compete with the competion, but set the standard for excellence! sorry if got little long winded! just my passion for ford!

 

As long as it has the 6.2 boss engine I could care less about everthing else!

 

how about insted of that stupid little slide back window they make the whole back widow roll down.

 

That's the only cool feature on the Toyotas.

 

Keep the size but cut the weight. Improve the brakes for better stopping, more life, and easier maintenance. A roll down rear window would be great. Improve the interior with more useful storage features like consoles that really hold laptop computers, phones, power points in the back seat and pickup bed, options for bed tie downs, etc. Design in maintenance friendly features like heater cores that don't require 8+ hours to replace, brake rotors that don't rust to the hubs, spark plugs that don't self-eject, oil filters that don't require unnatural physical movements to remove, bulbs that can be removed without disassembling the vehicle, etc.

 

A Diesel, A new Lightning, the 6.2 V8

 

A 6.2 that you can change the plugs in without an act of christ and a 6 sp. tranny!!!!

 

How about the hydraulic hybrid!

 

I would like to see a manual transmission with the V8s instead of just with the V6.

 

How about displacement on demand on the V8?

 

DIESEL....and the 6.2.....and a 6 speed

 

Seriously think about what you typed. There is no way a sane Ford is going to give out a "drag pack" on a stock truck. The aftermarket is huge, and it is huge for a reason. Ford can make much more money selling stuff for rediculous prices after they sell the truck. They will not be offereing a Lightning with tons of power and modifications to make it the fastest truck out there. Should they? Yes. But are they going to? No. Too many problems involved, liability, stupid drivers, etc.

Much better for them to sell a hot-performing truck, then have lots of aftermarket parts they can sell you to hype it up even more. That way, the safe drivers with big wallets can upgrade.

Just how much horsepower do we put in a truck bone stock? There has to be a limit somewhere.

 

affordable truck?
