If I was a diehard Ford guy, I might like it. I don't like the body kit and the wheels. The wheels look like oversized wheel covers and they are too blingy for my taste. I would never pay $40,000+ for the supercharged version either. Other than these issues, it's not a bad truck, I guess.

I think it looks nice. I like the console shifted auto's in the Fords. High $40's for the supercharged version is insane, but I still think it looks cool.

If it does not turn better numbers than the newer Roush Ford Supercharged trucks it'll be a waste.

Most of the Gen 2 guys have been making fun of it for some time now. I just don't see them selling well, and if they do sell, I see a lot of disapointed customers when a stock Gen 2 L comes up beside them and spanks them like their daddy.

450hp isn't enough for those pigs to be any real competition.

Pricing

Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the 3-Valve Saleen Sport Truck with standard equipment is expected to start in the high $30,000’s, and the Supercharged version is expected to start in the high $40,000’s.
Not too much of a deal IMO.
