The all new 2010 Ford Lightning!!! You say did I hear that right? Yes Ford Lightning fans there is a new gen III truck in the works. The 2005 Ford Lightning did not get the full thumbs up but this one looks like it will. Rumor has it that an all new super truck has been spotted in the Land Down Under, in Australia. (Pictures are coming soon). It seems that Ford has been testing different variations of this new Lightning there because Australia has the best all around extreme conditions, from desert heat to high and cold mountains for vehicle testing. I know you all are wondering, how much power this thing has... Right now the specs are reading 550 horsepower and equal amounts of torque. Now don't stop reading because it gets better. The 2010 Ford Lightning will come in two variations. A standard Lighting with a 10,000 lb tow rating and a Light weight Drag Pack version. Both of the 2010 Lightings will come equipped with the 550 HP Dual Cam Mod motor from the now extent Ford GT Super Car. Yet each will serve separate duties. The standard edition will have all the form and function as you have grown to appreciate in the Gen I and II Lightning’s. It will be able to haul a good amount of home improvement goodies and haul some but too. The 2010 Drag Pack Ford Lightning will be a more specific breed and be more of a performer at the track. The 2010 Drag Pack Ford Lightning will be a good 800 - 1000lb lighter than the standard edition The 2010 Drag Pack Ford Lightning. It will come equipped with a full fiberglass bed and track tune suspension. Some resent testing has shown sixty foot times in the 1.7s with street radial and 1/4 ETs in the high 12s. Pricing has not been brought up yet but look for a price around $50,000 to start.

thanks you too! to add me!

Thanks for the pic comments bro! DsG's are the fastest! lol

If you know how to build a box, it's easy as pie. Here's how my sub box in the cab was made: you make a shape you want, mirror it, and cut it out of a stencil. Draw the stencil onto MDF wood, and cut it out of there. After that, I got mine upholstered. Some people prefer painted boxes, but I prefer a look that came from the factory. But also, I don't have any parts on the interior to compliment it. So it's really just preference. I won't clutter your wall with a ton of info, but let me know if you want a personal message for a more in depth explanation.

As for the sub woofers in the bed, Thats not too tough, but it is a pain in the ass to measure. The Lightnings bed is a couple inches wider at one end than the other. This isn't usually a problem, but since my boxes are on the outside of the bed, and the Lightning's beds have grooves in the bottom, every support had to be custom cut so that it was secure. Best of luck on your future audio projects.

Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate the compliments. Your truck is pretty hot too. I almost went with your DSG color, but I got a good deal on my True Blue.

I see you've got some audio in your ride as well. Nice to see a fellow audiophile in the Lightning crowd.
