I found my next truck...

[thedutchguy]

I saw a roadtest of it in Top Gear from the BBC.
Man what a poor quality of assembly.
And what about the fuel consumption of it? You can see the tank gage moving to empty whilst accellerating.
Sorry, but this doesn't work for me.

Yep, you'll need a good job to keep that beast filled up.

awww.....its auto...

dutch guy...you saw a road test of the SVT adrenaline or the garbage normal one. The SVT isn't going to be out until 2007...i heard they had a test mule but i wouldn't think ford would let a TV show mess around with it. and as far as gas, with prices dropping like they are i'll probably only be paying 93 cents a gallon, not that my VX gets any better milage. anyway, it just caught my eye

[thedutchguy]

the road test I saw, was with a supercharged engine.
None of the interior panels seemed to fit, and the steering had an unbelievable amount of play.

Most importantly...its a crappy FORD!!

Then again, it WAS Top Gear, and they love to make fun of American cars! Did you see them tear into the C6 Vette?

Ford, in general, has an "unusual" way of looking at things. In my opinion, their engineering for the masses is about 6-8 yrs. behind the times. While on the other side of the coin, they can produce such marvels as the GT & Shelby.
A look inside the corporate mindset was forthcoming, in a CNN report this morning about Ford trying to figure out it's staggering losses of the most recent quarter, they proposed "tracking how much time workers were spending in the bathroom"...sounds like a reasonable theory as to why their product isn't selling.
Just my $.02, Ldub

Top Gear did a road test of the SVT Lightning. That and the Escalade are the only two American Trucks/SUVs I've seen on Top Gear.
