I don’t remember seeing a thread for this, I ran across this last night. The VX is on the top 10 collector trucks list at Truck Trend.

Turbo charged, 4.3 Liter V6, 0-60 4.6 seconds (stock).
Way way better than the Lightning. :)
The world may now bow at our feet.
Wasn't there a thread on here not to long ago,about how dangerous they were.They can go fast,but can't turn or stop!Quote:

Better candidate might have been the Lincoln Blackwood Neimann Marcus Edition. Ford only produced a little over 3K before stopping the run, and of those, only 50 NMEs were produced for sale through their catalog. Original truck cost was well over 50K; you can pick a normal Blackwood up for 15-25K, but NMEs command 20K over that.
Not that I'd want a truck that only came in 2WD, black, and with a non-removable tonneau cover... :)
"Don't laugh"???? Come on!!!!! :mad:

Remember they’re talking about future collectibles. The Cyclone and Typhoon are already in the collectible category.:rolleyes:

Don't laugh—this unusual sport/utility has a small but loyal following, which might be enough to make VehiCROSS prices rise as time goes on.

That's why Consumer Reports doesn't take ads.Quote:

Plus the 1/4 mile times on that are weak compared to production runs. At the local track I haven't seen one over 14 at all... Granted some have boost control, but not a lot of mods on them.
Plus brake upgrades are cheap for GMs.
If I ever come across a good deal I'll nab it :) sy or ty...

And all pubs are like that. I do a lot of work for the gun industry, and our clients do a lot of ad placement with a certain publisher, and they win awards every year. But then one of our clients who doesn't advertise a lot rarely gets press, but they always win awards on independent shoot outs (bloggers, local pubs, etc.)
It's too bad...
But I don't like consumer reports either... actually at all. You're more likely to report your negative experiences than your positive, so I don't find consumer reports to be balanced.
I like Cnet for electronic reviews (similar to edmunds) and I like edmunds because it has consumer reviews, their reviews etc. Above all I like personal experience.

an interesting logic... Is vehicross.info non biased because they don't accept advertising????
