I want to see this truck's 0-60 on dry roads. Still, even with the sketchy conditions, that truck looks strong. Blower whine does wonders for the soul.

Nice. I give it a month or less before that thing is wrecked from driving like that in those conditions.

Personally I don't think the f150 is meant to be driven that way. If you wanna go fast buy a sports car.

I agree that it's not meant to be a sports car, but what if you can only afford one vehicle? It's also never a bad thing to add more power.

Ever heard of a Lightning? Ford understands that there is a market for a fast truck. (and yes, I know they don't make a Lightning any longer, but only because the trucks are too damn heavy to build an affordable 'fast' F150 now).

Same goes for the idiots that say "if you want better fuel mileage, buy a Prius". What the heck ever.

I am not sure what your point is... the lightning was designed to go fast just like the Raptor is designed for off road.

I think he was referring to the comment that said "i don't think the F 150 was meant to be driven that way"
