Wow! Kinda weird with the big 3 wanting a bailout and yet look at what Ford is releasing in 2010. They want you to jump it. It's made to be jumped at 50-70 mph straight from the factory. It will start with a 320-horsepower, 5.4-liter V-8 engine with 390 pounds-feet of torque. Later models will get Ford’s brand-new, large-displacement, two-valve OHC 6.2-liter premium V-8. This is the engine formerly referred to as the Boss V-8, and the Hurricane before that. It’s expected to be naturally aspirated and produce approximately 400 hp and more than 400 pounds-feet of torque.

I want one! I don't really have a use for it, but I want it.
That's pretty sick, besides that gawky front grille.

lower it, slap in a black mesh grill and put some street tires on it and it'll be pretty nice but as it sits now it's ugly.

I think the grille is cool, aside from the fact it looks like it says "EORD"

That's pretty cool, the idea not the styling, but the Lightning is still one of the best things SVT ever made.

I think the truck is sick i wish i had the money to get one. Like come on which car dealer wants u to jump ur vehicle and beat it up. I dont see GM or another dealer doing that. But i think the svt crew is trying to try a offroad truck and see how it does since they already did a street truck which went well but i dont think it sold well. Cause even gm came out with the silvarodoe ss which only was made for maybe two years. So i think the street truck scene died out so now ford wants to try offroad side of it

But here is the thing i bet there is gonna be a clause in the warranty, If the vehicle is jumped and parts broken during jump will not be covered.

ford makes sick trucks except for the new f150, the tails on it are hideous. the lightning was dirty and those saleen ones were just downright nasty

Ha yeah right, who do you think made/makes the new 07-09 Shelby GT500?

Yeah the Lightning was sick
But I still think the new Raptor SVT looks badass though. If I'd have to get any truck this would def be up there

I'm not too much of a ford guy, although my brother has a fox & f250 and pops has a lightning, but i would have assumed it was in collaboration w/ Shelby.
I mean obviously if ford has anything badged SVT, their not finished, but back in 06 they reported that it was over.

Yes, there was talk about it, but later Ford chose to keep the SVT brand alive, just not as productive as in the past, which is why we haven't seen much from that line in awhile.

ive allways been a fan of ford trucks. when i was visiting my cuz in tennesee, trucks are big down there. one night with him and his friends, they decided to play chains. where you hook a chain to both hitches and basically play tug of war. his 05 f150 out pulled the ram hemi 1500. and fords diesel, just kills the competion. imo
