2000 Ford SVT Lightning Cash is 9500 firm not a penny less, PRICE DROPPED TO 9500 HAVE BEEN LOOKING TO GET 12+ FOR IT BUT...I have a house that needs remodeling and the wife wants it gone. Price is this week only, if it doesn't sell I'm getting a loan against it and keeping it.There is way more in just parts on this truck than what I'm asking. This would be a hell of a deal for someone Im asking less than any Ive found online that only have a couple bolt ons. On to the list.... Truck makes 513 rwhp/597rwtq on current 10psi setup and very safe tune, almost all power and peak numbers come on at 2600-2800 and carry through rpm range. Its like geting kicked in the back by a mule. I work in Chicago and have driven it to work a couple times last year 150 miles round trip and average about 16.5+ mpg's... not too bad for a truck with this kind of power on tap.

I think they handed out tampons with that body style F150. Worst design ever, even in Lightning trim which accomplishes nothing other than making the design suck less, kind of like the gen 3 SHO.

I thought those were the best looking full-size pick-ups (97-03 and 04 heritages). The only one that looks at good to me is the current Ram. I guess that is why they style them differently.
 
Really? Id have to say out of the current models, the Ram is third. GM and Ford are both close for first and second.

I guess thats why they design them different. I am not a brand loyalist, but will pretty much only buy from the big three, its a personal choice...I'm sure you all have yours.

The best looking

Chevys were last made in 1997, before the took on the SIlverado name. And I prefer the later ones (a lot) with the one bar grille versus the earlier ones.

The Fords: 96-03 (04 heritage)

Dodge/Ram: Right now.

That is a great deal for a truck with those mods! (no matter what the mileage is)

You're right. I think that design made for the worst looking truck ever! I will say that a fleet side Lightning would have looked better than the step side. I have a few friends who did the "L" treatment to their fleet sides.

However, I think Ford is now making trucks that men can drive again.

LOBO Mang.


Honestly, of the new half ton trucks, I like the GM's the best (hence why I own one)

The ford and dodge look to bloated and flashy for me. The GM styling is just simple, and aggressive. No big chrome shit, no 22's, I don't need a step to get in and out of the bed because I'm not a geriatric, so... yeah. GM all the way.

3/4 and 1 ton are a different story however....

I like the Fords and GM's equally, and albiet, ALOT. And the dodge a close 2nd (just because of the Cummins motor and 6-speed manual option)
