Hi. Please help clarify the information/misinformation I have been reading and told.

Went to the local SVT dealer on Monday, January 31, 2000, to order an L with all available options.

Saleswoman and Sales Manager said that the only option for the 2000 L was a tonneau cover, which they said was unavailable. I ordered the truck, asking the saleswoman to sign the sales agreement that the price (MSRP, by the way)included all available options. Of course, she did not respond to my request.

If there are any Members who know what options are available for the 2000 Lightning please respond here.

------------------
'97 F-150 4x4 Super Cab; XLT 139" Wheelbase Flairside; Silver Frost Clearcoat; 4.6L. (Romeo); 4-spd Automatic Transmission; Preferred Equipment Package 507A; 3.55 Limited Slip Axle; Electronic Shift 4x4; California Emissions; Sliding Rear Window; Trailer Towing Package; Off-Road Package; 6-Way Power Driver's Seat; Remote Keyless Entry/Anti Theft; 6-Disc CD Changer; Ford Bedliner; Ford Running Boards; Ford Nose Mask; Roll n Lock Tonneau Cover.

 

Hi wilywilky!

The only option is the tonneau cover, (I passed on the cover, marginal quality IMHO). The 6 disc changer and tow package are now standard equipment.

wilywilky,

Your information is correct or at least agrees with mine. I ordered Jan 23rd.

------------------
2000 Ford SVT Lightning (Silver) - on order
2000 BMW ///M Roadster
1999 Volvo S80 T6
2-car garage - guess which one's leaving to make room

 

ArcLight, which one?
I driven the roadster and I have an hour seat time in the S80 T6. I like them both, so which one? I assume the S80, right?

 

I hear that there will be a indash cd player optional, but not sure on this

 

99 SVT BLACKBOLT;

I believe the indash cd is standard, along with the 6 disc changer.

Have a GREAT DAY everyone!!! Jake...

Yep, the S80 will make room. It is a nice car with a lot of feature content for the price. A bit slow for my tastes but I love getting into the "go" pedal. It won't necessarily go away completely, just out into the driveway behind the house but...

3 cars in a one-person household would be getting extreme even for me.

Now having a pick up and a roadster that are pretty close speedwise, that's a combination!

 

Last time I went over my order with my dealer he informed me that there was an optional equipment package available in California only. It consisted of three items, one of which was a running board, and I don't remember the other two because none of them interested me.

------------------
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

'92 Civic Si, Centerforce Dualfriction clutch, no front license plate.

'84 Alan Record Carbonio, Aerospoke wheels, Sugino AT crankset, Campy brakes (I think, hard to tell underneath the protective coat of grease and dirt).

'98 Honda "Harmony" 5.0 h.p. mulching mower, stock.

2000 silver SVT Lightning on order (the lawnmower will have to go).

alphadoggy,

Sounds like one of the regular F-150 dealer installed options. Can't imagine why California would have an exclusive on this stuff but I'm no expert.

Hey wilywilky - there have been so many different opinions on what is coming as standard on a 2000 L that it is truly impossible to figure out. It seems that the tonneau was listed as an option but is not available, so scratch it. It appears that everything else is really an unknown. Part of the mystique I suppose.

I guess the bottom line is - does it really matter???!!??? I for one am not buying a lightning for the indash whatever or the towing thingy. What's under the hood is the heart of this purchase.
