(TCC Staff) Ford Lightning Won't Strike Again



Those patient supertruck fans awaiting a new Ford F-150 Lightning will be upset to learn that Ford has killed plans for a new Lightning based on the new F-150. According to reports from Orlando Sentinel auto writer Steven Cole Smith, Ford is halting work on a new Lightning because the cost of developing the new vehicle was prohibitive. A Ford spokesman said that the vehicle had been "postponed" but that any revival would take until at least 2008. Without the Lightning and with the demise of the SVT Focus, the performance brand will be left with no vehicles to sell in 2005 and with just one for the 2006.

It was one of the few trucks I actually enjoyed.

Only truck that did not have have naked girl mudflaps and a 10 foot cb antenna.

 

I guess they are going to let Dodge be the king of the hill with the V-10 truck.

 

I would have loved to see a new lightning too, I really like the new F150 redesign.
