Default Next Lightning?
I really have to wonder if Ford is working on a performance version of this truck, similar to the old SVT Lightning trucks. They have the Raptor coming out, which has plenty of performance, but geared towards the off-road environment. I would love to see a street performance version, with a bad-*** 2.7L as the engine choice. Something in the realm of 500HP, with the suspension & looks to go with it.

Just dreaming out loud....

Would love to see it too, but it probably won't happen! Wish they'd do a 5.0 turbo'd!!!

They are probably putting it in the new GT500. I heard it'll have more HP than the Hellcat which has 707 hp.

How about an F150 with the 5.2 flat-plane crank V8 from the GT 350.....yes it's not that torque minded but the sound is something to behold!
