Yes!
dbhost,
I agree with just about everything you suggest! I'd add an automatic transmission temperature gauge and make sure it got the beefiest frame available, regardless of wheelbase.
I don't care about having a diesel, but the 4V 5.4 350+ HP should be very doable and fairly fuel efficient as well. Very marketable as well. You are SPOT ON with all your other suggestions!
Limited slips, lockers, lower gear ratios, a MUST.
In my earlier post I suggested perhaps a SVT 4x4 Off Road, I DID NOT suggest they try and make a Lightning! I think that would be a really bad idea.

Hmm I'd want:
- New 6.2L twin force twin stage turbo V8, min 425 Hp, tons of TQ
- 6 speed auto
- Telescoping mirrors that are now available.
- I'd like tow rating of mn 10,500 with Screw and still be able to have larger 18/20" wheels. (GM limits you to 17's w/top tow pkg)
- aux input in better location vs. top of dash
- higher quality feelin console shifter...
- A 4wd switch that a) lights up , and b) is not directly behind view of shifter when you don't have console shifter... (this goes for so many Fords)
- I'd prefer speedo in mddle of dash like Lariat and larger speedo. (I have FX4)
- Temp guage (in F in Canada)
- Fuel door flap that doesn;t break off as its cheap ****ty plastic.
- I'd like a FX4 with either bumpers that are not painted (to aviod rust) or are plastic in front and painted in rear liek new GM/Toyota.
- I'd like some kinda layer of protection that stops stones from hammering front bumper from the INSIDE. Plastic?
- I'd like same in rear so taillights are not hammered inside fender with rocks etc...
- I'd like at minimum them to keep solid sub/bass w/current auddiophile unit.
- I'd like to keep current door pocket drink holder at front of front door but add some rubber above where plastic drink rattles against hard plastic door panel.
- A cowl windshild relashionship that don't rattle in winter...
- Elimination of ice cube tray in cowl...
- I don't want the screw cab to be much larger. perfect size now. Unless inc length means behind the rear seat storage....

i'd just want the option for a crew cab 6.5' bed as well! and dual mechanical locker instead of the electronic one in the rear
