Looks like some overpriced dealer installed appearance items on an otherwise basic truck. I'd rather have a plain looking exterior with more creature comforts and more power. That truck is all 'show' and no 'go'.

Looks to me like dealer optioned RICE.
It's basically a Lightning Clone with ZERO guts and modified HD badges.
Makes we wonder how many "Lightning Kills" posted on LS1 and other sites were races against these slow dogs and other 'clones'

What a con.... that badge is obviously an HD badge with a sticker on top of half of it. Selling it "as is" is one thing, calling it a "one of a kind" or saying "only 6 made" is such bs. I guess he was lucky enough to find a dealer who was one of

That is a Joke. I'll also Agree that The F-150 Thunder is some Dealer in the South putting those badges on & calling it a Thunder. Why in the World would anyone have a Monster Tach on the Dash of a Truck that has a 4.2 liter V6. That things gotta be a Slow Boat to China!

It is funny that he thinks the chrome rear bumper was an option on the so called thunder kit. All except Ls and STXs had chrome didn't they?
The badge looks like a heritage badge not a Harley. I am sure someone will fall for his BS story.

I'm pretty sure those are King Ranch badges with a poorly designed and applied sticker. Send the SWAT team, asap before that guy bites his tongue off while taking photos.
I don't think he's fooling anyone with the "rare and exclusive" marketing plan.
