So Ford finally listened...
 

I've been saying for years that Ford should put the eco-boost engine on a regular cab, short bed F-150. There are dozens of combos for the F-150, but that unfortunately was not one of them. Well I guess Ford finally budged to us hot rodders and made the truck... Too bad it's named after the shakes you get when you have Parkinson disease. Still looks good though.

I was expecting Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward, and for the truck to have giant worm graphics all over the sides...

Re: So Ford finally listened...
 

Nice.....and...ur at least 35-40 years old.

It does have worms on the sides. Oh, those are stripes. I hope it is available without such silliness.

Last gen Lightning had a supercharged V8 with, what, 380 hp? This thing is in the same ballpark...

Re: So Ford finally listened...
 

Very cool truck!

Name is TERRIBLE.

Raptor is a bad ass truck name.

Lightning is a pretty cool name.

Tremor is horrible. Kinda like TRD spelled out is TuRD. Not well thought out...

Re: So Ford finally listened...
 

I think the stripes are an optional extra like they are on the Raptor.

I was thinking the same thing, this may be faster than the pre-2001 lightnings, but should run similar numbers for the 2001+ models.

Updated 2001+ Lightning:
380 HP
450 TQ
4,7xxlbs
3.73 rear (4 Speed Auto)
(Pre-2001 model was 20HP and 10TQ less and 3.55 rear)


2013 Tremor: (According to the current eco-boost specs)
365 HP
420 TQ
5,080lbs*
4.10 rear (6 Speed Auto)

Will be an interesting comparison, but this truck is going to be fast that's for sure.

I had a Ford Truck that was a "Tremor" package in 2000.

It was a Ranger Supercab that had a badass stereo system with amp, subs, and a HUGE in-dash head unit from pioneer. Called "Tremor" because of how the subs shook the truck.

:cool:

Re: So Ford finally listened...
 

Wouldn't a 5.0 regular cab be faster than the ecoboost?

Re: So Ford finally listened...
 

Good question, I suppose it will all come down to gearing, average power and how much weight that power has to carry.

Re: So Ford finally listened...
 

Was hoping to see they were bringing the Falcon here....

Tremor is nice too.

Re: So Ford finally listened...
 

Haven't you heard? Fords shutting down Australia operations. Falcon. Is soon to be extinct

Re: So Ford finally listened...
 

Tremor is something like 300 pounds heavier than Lightning yet has a more aggressive axle ratio and more gears. Even if it isn't quite as quick it should be pretty damn close. Considering this is a V6 that gets much better fuel economy it's still pretty cool.

Re: So Ford finally listened...
 

I think the Ram R/T will be faster due to a lighter weight.

Re: So Ford finally listened...
 

Yes I did. Point being they should build it here for us and them.
