yeah that would look nice. Budget wise something like that silver or the black one in the pic below would suit me, then i could spend a few grand doing her up! I have about 16k (GBP to spend).....

they call that the step side model, got fatter rear arches. I wish i had the trader book i got here with me

cfoster

lol!! Well ill stop hassling you with questions and speak to you a bit later on about it when youve got your bits with ya!!

18k dollars sounds good, but by the time you add import duty, 22% tax, VAT, SVA, ESVA it will go over my budget

jasonp

chris trying get the 22% tax sorted there are ways over it That lincoln was 34k dollars and landed SVA's etc into the uk for 27k GBP.

The F150 's vary in price depending where u are aswell. SOme places cars are cheaper other SUV's are cheaper, and some places a 4wd car is cheaper than 2wd,then drive 100miles and its the other way round

And if your of to america id wait and see all the other models u can get as the yanks think the F150 is ok but there are better looking trucks,even toyota do one which looks the bollix and we dont get it, also the new nissan titan looks awesome

cfoster

fook me!! Sounds well confusing!!!

Makes me wanna buy one already here and get me pants ripped off for the price!! lol!!!

If you have any mail links to dealerships etc i can have a look at it would be great. Im bored shitless at work at the mo!!!

see what you mean about looking out there but its resale as well which worries me. At least with the lightning / rams, they are known and should resell.

I wouldn't mind looking around at some garages etc, but its knowing where to look. Ive been searching the net but no luck

Chris

got buisness cards at home with sites on. Lincoln are building a truck based on the F150 which looks awesome but wont be around til the end of next year. Loads more luxury and a bit better looking.

cfoster

cool, ill be online later on so send the links on ...!! Want one NOW!!!!

Check this one out!!!

jasonp

lol there was a white one like that not quite as long though.

Also hummers are cheap but everyone is bringing them in at the moment

cfoster

sweet! bet that looks smart in white!!

Anyway, ill look on f150online etc and see what i can find this afternoon, and wait for your dealership stuff!! Trying to find a full list of models is a nightmare!!

Just to clarify a couple of things.

The F150 SVT lightning is only one model.

The 99 model has 360 bhp and 450lb/ft
The 00 onwards had 380bhp and 450lb/ft

They changed to a different supercharger after the first year, the early ones were prone to leaking thru the intercooler and had a recall.

It is only avaliable in 2 door and the only options avaliable are a bedliner and tonneau cover.

SVT stands for Special Vehicle Team

The Lightnings that weren't built by SVT were the Gen 1 which had a 5.7l and 240bhp


The Lightnings are built on the same production line as normal F150's in Canada and are then shipped to SVT for the transformation into the fire breather they are.

The Harley F150 was first released as a modded Supercrew with all the leather etc as seen here


The 2002 onwards inc the 100th aniversery edition (Silver/black) were full crew cabbed and fitted with the same 5.4l Supercharged engine as the Lightning albeit with only 340bhp

Gaaables

if u can get lightenings early next year for about £14-15k id be very intrested
