Haha yeah I knew what you means. Was being an ***

My neighbour had a 528 in what I thought was his 80's or early 90's F250. He wasnt much of a car guy so I thought it was stock. Could have been built up to tow I guess as it was a work truck.

 

Lol, some of you guys are all kinds of flustered. I was simply stating what I read, not saying it was a fact and also asking a serious question about future Ford vehicles.

 

Flustered? No.

You posted a question on an obviously dubious report of a potential production vehicle, we responded.

End of thread.

 

Lop ok... Just asking if you guys had seen it. I got your thoughts on it. And you don't know if they built it or not. Or even drew it.up. the concept they originally made for 2012 that we all seen ( the silver truck) is even more ridiculous. And who would of thought about a 45k$ baja truck with a huge 6.2 (raptor) would ever come to life. I'm sure you said that was not true the first time you heard it. Or a 50k$+ Harley truck with 22's
What's that compared to a truck that would be slightly faster if any to a gt500.

 

I'd never believe they were building a 9L for a 1/2 to truck. You'll be lucky to see the 6.2L in a 1/2 ton in another 3-4 years.

 

Let's say besides the 9l engine. Do you guys think its possible that for will bring back the lightning? Or roush or saleen

 

The 6.2 is in the raptor and Harley and I think the platinum isn't it

 

I doubt it, ford is going too green and a sport truck isnt green in the public's eye, even though a 6.2L single cab short bed would get about 20mpg city, throw a supercharger on there and it will go up if you keep your foot out of it.

 

I agree. Even an Eco boost with a few more pounds put to would be a respectable truck. And probably get 25 mpg if drivin correctly.

 

But why can't roush do something

 

yeah with the engines they have now and all the different configurations you can build your own version of a lightning with any of the 3 main engines

 

The Raptor is not green at all, even less so than a 6.2 sport truck. When SVT gets ready they will build a new Lightning, hopefully with a 6.2/5.0 blown in all cab configs with short beds.
