68fastback Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Bold Moves Ya beat me to it, Jet <lol> I searched all over to find the weight. I'm looking for 500-800lbs less than the F150. If so, I think that's the base for the new lightning (tho, the wheelbase is rather long). They can't afford to wait for te new Ranger and the'll never mod the exiting Ranger to accommodate the HP. So, I'm tinking that's it. Also, they have to do something to unspin all the SVT=dead rumors . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5.4 Shelby Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I think that is a Harley truck. I would expect the Lightning to be styled much more Boldly. I would also expect it to be wearing Shelby badging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, The comment I left is that it is a bit ironic that they left the harley option and killed the Lightning(for perhaps defensible reasons ) and called it Bold Moves. Was hopeing for a tidbit on the Hurricane replacement(that would have kept the net buzzing), but what we got was just a commercial. Anyone else recall the SVT trademark round fogs, the five spoke wheels, and stupid good performance? I'm a little dissapointed and as a serious Blue Oval person, that sucks...

But I still think we'll be seeing a Lightning on the Ranger/Sport-Trac base. I've also heard rumors reporting it will be on the "Legacy" F-150 base (heard same rumors two years ago too <lol>), but I think that's a ploy to gauge/hold interest until it moves to some Sport-Trac/Ranger variant... MY'09???. Here's a link on the Legacy F150 Lightning rumor. And, supposedly 60SVT engineers are still working future goodies (the rest are doing the 'mentoring' I think dispersed in Ford engineering until "needed" for specific work. That's a typical corporate 'holding pattern' for key skills. <edit:> tho Ford will do anything to hold F-series lead and some legacy F-150 variants, like a Lightning would not hurt .

JETSOLVER Posted September 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 You have'nt seen one Jet? Not the new one without the supercharger. I lost interest when they went to show over go. So what do you think about that segemnt of "Bold Moves".? I sure didn't see any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see anything concrete. Suprised, since they pre-announced the 6.2L turbo diesel recently. Maybe they're not ready to pop the "BOSS" engine yet and didn't want it's absence to be conspicuous if they mentioned the 6.2 diesel. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
