ill be chopping the evo in for one in about 6 months time. Test drove it but the fuel consumption put me off. Having bought the evo, it turns out the pickup is actually cheaper and more economical!!! .

Ill be importing one though as companies over here are ripping peoples arses for them at the moment.

Knew you'd sway round eventually Chris

They wont get that common, theres only 5000 odd in total across the world and i doubt the 2nd hand prices will drop on par with the equivilent UK vehicle, being a rare import they'll always command a premium in one way or another.

If anyones looking for a new one over here, the best place is PlanetMoto £24995 + Vat brand new.

I thought the Harley Special Edition was just a Lightning but in crew cab form with fancy detailing?

Rudey - yeah they love the old juice mate. I put 35 quid in mine and only get about 120miles to a tank, however hard or soft its driven. I do runs GEMs management on the car which probably doesnt help, but me mates standard evo 6 isnt any better.

Not quite

Lightning



Harley F150




Although they have the same engine the Harley has 340bhp compared with the Lightnings 380bhp and doesnt have the uprated suspension and handling goodies the Lightning has, it also weighs best part of 500kg more. Does have tasty leather tho

22's are realisticly as big as you wanna go anything bigger looks pants even on a huge truck like the F150.

If i'm allowed i'll demonstrate. (You'll get fed up of my pics eventually)

Standard 18's


20' Standard replicas


22's


23's on "The Swedes" truck


24's

im sorry but would rather have this

22" as standard



"No other truck comes close to this ultimate performance. No one else sports a class-obliterating 500 horsepower and 525 lb-ft of torque. And no "toy" truck can even think about topping 150 mph or reaching 60 mph in just over 5 seconds. "
