I've heard that about 20 times today... geez... I didn't know that many people knew what a lightning was... My boss wants to race me in his NSX... -LOL- People can't get over the suede interior
When I got this truck I thought it was going to be "low key"... so much for that.
I know you all have heard this before... but this is all new to me. Wow, this is a "nice truck"

 

It does attract attention.

I've had mine two years and people still come up to me in parking lots or my driveway asking/commenting on it...

 

I think its friggin crazy how many people have never even heard of a Ford Lightning.

when i was getting mine, i told people what i was buying, and they were like , "what the hell is that?"

IT BROKE MY HEART!!!

 

people at worka are always asking me... "Who's beautiful truck is that outside?". I too am suprised at how many people dont know what they are, but then sometimes it suprises me that certain people know what it is.

 

Don't want to burst your bubble but it's not suede , it's cloth. Just looks and sorta feels like suede.

And yes they do get alot of looks and thumbs-up

 

Are you sure? Because I know some of it is leather. I know it's not the black part in the center... are you sure it's not suede?

 

yeah, guapo...from what ive heard the black part in the center is stitched leather. I know...it sounds weird..but I think its true.


By the way...get used to being told "nice truck" about 10 times a day...LOL Enjoy

 

i think the material is called Alcantera, or somthin...

 

Guapo,

Unfortunately, the grey portion is cloth, the black part is leather. I wish it was suede, that would be coool. I get a lot of complements/comments about my truck. I think the funniest ones are "Is this truck fast?" I just say it's pretty quick, as it is obvious those particular people don't know what it is. The best part is when you nail it somewhere (safely of course) and you get to see peoples faces when the supercharger is screaming! That look on peoples faces is better than most of the comments!!!

 

it is so funy how everybody in town here thinks its a truck with a body kit on it. I like the look the look on there face when that truck just stomped them.

 

I've had my truck about a year now, and I still get comments.

Funny thing though. . .and I wonder if anyone else here has this happening to them, too. . .Lately there's been quite a few people asking me if it's a real Lightning. I guess the RASH of posers is making people question credentials. That's OK though. It seldom takes more than a solid plant of the right foot to silence most of the doubters. The rest get silenced when I out handle their sports cars.

Anyone else having this happen?

You wouldn't want suede in your L. It would be a nightmare to keep looking good. Any moisture spots suede, you can't clean suede with some cleaner and a rag, etc...

I think the fabric is really cool 'cause it looks so much like suede but it's only cloth.

you wouldnt want suead it would rub away and look like leather inside of 2 months

 

What was fun was way back in 99, March to be exact, when NOBODY knew what a Lightning was. Kickin A$$ and taking names. Mustangs, Z28's, Trans-am's and a few corvette's couldn't believe a pick up truck could walk on them like that. But that was then and I like my 01 now
