well he could have tested another model if he was gonna take it off road, but i guess for them an all wheel outback would work out great. Nobody said they had to have the same interests in vehicles as we do.

His major complaints were the play in the steering and the poorly fitting dash.

HELLO. Ford does NOT build a Right Hand drive F150

He was driving an aftermarket conversion by God knows who.

The dash looked pretty good to me, and the steering has to have that much play or you wiggle all over the road and get stopped for a breath test!

That guy is an idiot as well as an A$$hole. First of all he tested a sport truck off road what does he expect? Second, its not wonder people don't buy them in England. Who would want to drive a 5.4L supercharged truck where the price of gas is 2 1/2 times more expensive than it is here? I know I wouldn't. Third, as far as the steering is concerned its truck. Its not some $100,000 sports car. What's the deal with him referring to country people as "incest"? If you ask me he is a pompous A$$hole that has a masculinity problem going on.

wow, do they really think we're all incest-loving hill-billies?

i haven't been eaten by a bear lately... at least that i know of...

and i can't believe that someone actually gave this guy a job reviewing autos... he got a lightning to test as a 'pickup truck'... and expected it to actually perform as a pickup? he said himself it was a performance vehicle

what an idiot

What an Idiot and they wonder why we wanted separation!

I think he would have 'shat' his pants had he driven one of our 04/05 F150 4X4 Lariat's Super Crews. Man that pisses me off, I would like to tell him where he can stuff his hot tea and crumpets.
