Bastards...

Pluss I must kill the person that wrote this- "The Lightning debuted in 1993, with a 240-horsepower version of Ford's 5.8-liter V-8. Cobby and not that attractive, it was only a mild success, and was dropped in 1995."

Was it dropped in '95 and restarted in '99? If so I didn't know that, and why would they say there handing the maket over to dogde cause with a few thousand dollars you save with buying the Lightning you could have a much faster truck.

I don't like this at all but after reading that I'm guessing that the new F-150 chassis to heavy and they are going to develop a lighter one. Hopefuly when it comes back it will be worth the wait and blow the doors off dogde.

Wait for the modern lightning truck with the new '04 1/2 tonne bodystyle. Those mopar guys will be eating their nuts when that truck comes blasting by their gas-eating piece of crap V10 Dodge truck.

LONG LIVE THE MIGHTY FORD!!!

It's going to be a long wait though '08 most likely there was a four year gap between the 1st and 2nd gen. to.
