Create a 2017 "Lightning"...

Based on a bottom-spec 2017 F-150 XL, Pioneer Ford writes that it has augmented this humble work truck with a, “650 horsepower supercharged 5.0 v8, side exit exhaust, specially tuned suspension, and our own twist on a classic wheel, but in 22" diameter!”

The dealer’s offering the vehicle with a factory warranty for $50,000. It seems to be, pretty much, Ford’s leanest work truck with go-fast bits from the Rousch Nightmare. That was pretty much the closest thing to a “modern-day Ford Lightning” that existed until this week.

Pretty bad ass looking.
I like the Nitemare tuck as well and I would be very interested in one, but it's a very base model interior. I don't like that. Looks and feels too cheap for the price.
No leather, no heated steering wheel and very basic dash.

I like it. Only issue is it needs duals.

i like the truck just not for 50k. I just wish they would bring the stepside bed back.

I am pretty sure Ford is going to smack this dealer down soon. Overpriced too, 2 dealers in our area are putting roush tvs blowers on base trucks and mustangs and selling around 38-39K.

Looks pretty cool

Wow, that looks legit. A dealer upstaging the manufacturer. Don't see that very often.

I totally dig it and think it looks very factory. If I was in the market for a sporty truck I'd consider this as an option.

Can u get a 3.5 ecoboost in short cab short bed?

So that's what 22" satin 03 Cobra rims look like

I wonder what it does 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile.

It's very similar to the new Nitemare truck that Roush has out.
I LOVE the rcsb option, but like I mentioned above, the interior is very cheap and basic looking. Too bad. (I'm guessing that's why all the videos I've seen on this Nitemare truck, they kind of skip the interior shots, (unless it's the extended cab or supercrew cab version), where you can load it up.)

Reg cab stx package with roush blower would be nice.

Would pull the electronic locker out, if it's like my 16 4X4 it disengages at 20 MPH.

And it's too expensive.

God Ford missed the mark not making another Lightning.

Yes they did. the Raptor is very cool and is perfect for some people. But a truck with some better breaks, some handling suspension tweaks with more power would be great.

An extended cab version would be nice. That is the only thing I really never liked about my 04 lighting.

Roush makes it. Then, bring it to VMP tuning and get the beast hooked up! lol

Just saying.
