Here's some more on the "DL" of the "L".

Not that I'm a trader, but I'd take a Lightning. I think there sweet trucks, and i love the throttle responce they have.

 

I don't know, I think this is pretty damn sexy...I absolutely hate the body style of this last iteration of F-150's (including the Lightnings).

 

yeah, i like it alot.

 

I'm not so sure about the new body styles either. Some aspects look sweet, but others look as bad as our 03'+ chevy trucks.

The 98'-03' L's are awsome though.

 

God im heart broken.

 

There is no 05 L but i had not heard about them waiting that long, i thought it was gonna be around 06/07 to come out with the new Punkstang Cobra's

 

I saw a pic of that new one a few months ago and thought that maybe ford was coming around with there styling. And was pretty excited to see them running around. But it's not a real big surpise to me that they are stopping production. The way I hear it from the local ford dealership is that sales on the lightings are down quite a bit. At least around here.

 

Just gives GM/Chevy more time to get off their *** and make the SS a better truck.

 

I said this a month or so ago in the lounge but I will say it again

Doesnt Suprise me the new f150s are so heavy. the 4 door f150 is like 5900 Ibs and the regular cab is 4690 IBs with the v6 so even heavier in a v8. http://autos.yahoo.com/newcars/ford...PfwjgssIF?p=ext

So the guys/gals at SVT would have to do ALOT of weight reduction to make it fast.

And on the appearance issue I think they look OK. At first I like it but the my Step dad bought a 04 4 door f-150. The more i see it the more I ride in it the more I am GLAD I am a die hard chevy fan. They made the inside look better than before but i think it is so UNcomfortable. The seats are so hard i feel like i am sitting on cender blocks. and I dont even wanna get started about the damn door jams. (in the way) Then they made the bed taller so not even a 6 foot man can reach over teh side and grab something out of the back, and in doing this they raise the bottom of the windows to give the truck a chopped top look. But instead it looks to me as if there is just 10 feet of metal before you get to the bottom of the glass.

All in all I hope this will get GM more interested in a real sport truck since ford wont be taking any of the customers.
