Default 2010 F150 Ford Lightning.
Hi All

I heard a rumour that Ford US is currently testing the new 2010 Ford F150 Lightning in Australia. Has anyone seen or heard anything relating to this?
Any info would be great

SVT lightnings are very cool cars, despite Clarkson bagging them out for being "rubbish"

How can you take seriously the words of a guy who buys and parks an old British fighter jet on his front lawn? : :hihi: :Reverend:

To be honest, he is right, they are rubbish... for the UK, they have absolutely no need or use for them... in the UK. A lot of people forget that a lot of his comments about cars are about them being used in the UK.

And yes, this thing sure does make the Hilux look like the back end of a cow.
