I feel the Lightning is a better deal too....but I guess Ford thought theres some people out there that like the "Sport Truck" look that it gives...still the thing should be in the same price range as a Lightning...I don't get it!
Actually, it's not really Ford doing it. It's a conversion company out of Lagrange, IN called "L.A. West". Surprisingly there is quite a demand for these at our dealership. We've already sold 2 and have a 3rd that just came in. There are 4 stages to the truck:
(from back of promotional post card)
1.) Competition Yellow Paint/Dark Graphite Interior, Full "Streetwise" lower body cladding, catback dual exhaust, privacy tint, "Prime" full-polished aluminum 5 spoke wheels, P275/60R17 BSW tires, painted hood scoops/tail light covers & grill, Boss 5.4 badging, sequential production serial numbers w/certificate of authenticity.
2.) Stamped steel simulated cowl induction hood, Boss hood/grill paint design.
3.) "Prime" custom chrome 20 x 8.5" Boss wheels, Goodyear Eagle GTII tires
4.) Boss custome leather steering wheel, Boss immersion technology checkered dash & door trim, Boss two-tone leather seats w/accent piping.
-Limited production 2002 model
-Ford pool units
-3 year/36,000 mile warranty
-Orders will be filled on first-come basis
They only come in the yellow (even though we've pleaded with L.A. West to do red & black, too). They wanted a color that wasn't available on a "stock" F-150.
There's a similar version coming in a few weeks in extended cab format called the "QT". It comes in black, white, red & silver. Same deal, though. Nothing but eyeball and a stock 5.4L w/cat back duals & big pretty wheels.
In case anyone's curious the L's still outsell the @#$% out of the Boss.
