| Ford has a new Lightning
but it appears this time its not done by SVT, which in itself is pretty cool. Tantalizing Ford Tremor shakes things up |

Garbage power numbers considering it is supposed to be the Lightning successor.

It's not a lightning successor. Just a sporty special edition.

But as kwy stated, this isn't a lightning successor, just a special trim edition of the F150.

Yes, I guess my title was misleading, but thats what you get for not reading. Its not a replacement, its a single cab short box F-150 with a boosted engine. Just like..............the Lightning! I would love to see SVT take this truck and play with it though.

The Foose Edition F150 had a Roush supercharged 5.4L V8, and overall closer specs to the second gen Lightening. Still, this is very cool.

That hasnt been around since like 2006ish I think. Roush also did an F-150 that was supercharged in 08 or so. Still not SVT.

Except the Ram won't gain 70+rwhp from a tuner, and another 40rwhp from an intake, and another 60ish from exhaust. Coming from a 2011 Ram owner. And its 395, and you wont get one for 25k.
*edit*
I stand corrected, a completely base model 1500 Express is $25290, before tax and fees. If you want to get it to near the level of the FX2............lol.

I think the Ram 1500 diesel will be more of a differentiator than the hemi.. since the ecoboost is touted to drink fuel from a sippy cup. But since the MM diesel is 5k extra.. that's a chock full of nuts. Quote:

The ecoboost doesn't sip fuel. It is on par with the Hemi for fuel economy, from what I have seen. Other people have different reports.

well.. its a smaller engine 3.5l pushing almost the same number as the 5.4l V8
365 horsepower and 420 lbs-ft of torque vs 380 hp and 450 lbs-ft (2001 - 2004 model year)
I think its pretty good..
