Those pics are right down by the proving grounds and experimental engine plant. My aunt lives out there and I hear all the time from my uncle about the test mules running around. Neat truck cant wait to see how it turns out and see some specs on the production version. I want another lighting as bad as some of you guys, i will wait to pass judgment on this truck. Who knows one may end up in my driveway

forced induction is not legal in desert racing so ford will have to look to some other way to get power out of that truck.

Damn, not bad!

I don't want to even guess what the MPG for this thing will be:uh oh:

I'm guessing not great but it's a heavy limited production truck, what are you gonna do?

Probably. Have you seen the vids of the beating they put it through?

Yeah, I don't think that will matter that much. I was just thinking about the current gas situation, and how this truck couldn't be launched at a worse time, especially when gas prices will surely be in the $4 range by summer. Not to mention all the tree hugging watchdog groups singling out vehicles like this (H2's and other gas guzzlers), which gives the U.S. car companies black eyes.

Yeah, because Republicans have done such a great job keeping gas prices low this decade:thumbsup:

I thought the whole allure this truck has had to some was that it was supposed to run a twin force v8 with "substantial power". Frankly, 420-430 does not qualify as that to me when you comaprre it to the rest of the full size trucks that have 380-400hp in thier typical offerings.

there was never any mention from qaulifing sources about a twin force. it was going to be high output, and at 420 horses thats exactly what you get! plus truck is ready to go off road racing. this will be one hell of a truck, anyone with half a brain should see this after reading what ford and svt are prepping it for. breaking truck frames in testing, are you kidding me???!!!:beer:

who in the hell are you?


if you want socialized gas prices go to europe!

At least we can still buy gas. :bored: Now go plug in your Prius, pull the Kerry/Edwards '04 sticker off your bumper, and get a better job so you can afford to drive to work.

It's not meant to be a stoplight king, it's a badass off-road truck. 420 base HP will be more than enough for most. There's obviously a ton of potential left for the aftermarket to tap, and it won't take long for that to happen.
I highly doubt you'll see a twin force Boss motor in a production vehicle.

from what ive read, ford is, for the most part, copying the only long travel kit available for the current gen F150s(didnt they do that with the mach1 shaker hood?). its made by JD fabrication. 4 wheel & off-road installed one of these kits and raved about it.

 

[nodaksvt]

looks like dick

Dixion Bros. Racing has long travel suspension systems for current F-150's and Rangers. Gives ~14 inches of travel to the front end. JD fabrication came after them.

Thanks for that constructive feedback. :kaboom:

Considering its a TEST MULE and won't look anything like that how can you judge it already? Looks like a durability mule just to see if the setup is viable. The new trucks look pretty damn good and will look good set up like that.
