Congratulations on the new vehicle. . Only a 2 seater, too small for a family. But they are a fun truck.. exhaust, tune, intake, meth.. and perfect. .. livernois tuning..

I'm unmarried, and am a ways from kids, so it should work well for me. Already got the mods working....

You don't, I haven't looked in a while but the cheaper models a few years ago just had black plastic insert instead of the reflectors which means somebody thought they added to the looks.

Any idea if the tremor will carry over into the next gen f150?

Doubtful. I think the tremor was ford using parts they already have to make a truck to test the sport truck market and bringing back the lightning. Still a possibility we may get another lightning, but not of ford prices it like they did the tremor.

I'm surprised it took ford 3 years to decide to make an FX2 single cab. I mean they drop the EB in the four door and extended cab, how damn hard was it to drop one in a single cab as it went down the assembly line?

This is a definite no. Ford Reps have told me they won't be producing anything other than the 2014s, which is one of the major reasons I decided to pull the trigger. Lightnings in good condition can sell for close to 20k still, and they had a 5? year run. A one year run on these? Yes please.

Damn.

Had the tremor been available a year earlier or if I wouldn't have been in the position for a newer vehicle until now, I would have gotten one.
