I am thinking about getting a new Lightning. Any reason I should wait for the 2002 models? Or should I just pick up a 2001 (cause i really don't want to wait, unless there is something worth waiting for) Any chance at a cab and a half option? New performance additions? Any reason you can think of (other then the fact that it is a 02 vs an 01)

There are still a lot of 01's yet to be sold. I think if they are still going to continue making the L, they will skip the 02. Just my opinion.

If they make a 2002, it appears the only upgrade will be an incredible horsepower increase. (5 I think):D

Just spoke to a guy at SVT yesterday about something unrelated but asked about the 2002s. He said the only changes will be the new color (blue), those number keypads on the door, and there would be NO performance upgrades. Anything else would be minimal. So it's probably not worth the wait.

I hear it is going to be "True Blue". I guess this is a color already out on some cars.
Also, I hear that the reg. F150's are getting elc. fans. I would assume that the Lightning would too.

yeah, but now there are still 2001 models sitting on lots everywhere. and there is even one dealer ship that has an 2000 left over. i am really considering that one because i could get it for like 25k or less with a-plan, if i don't want that one i will probably wait for the 02
