Ford Lightning?

My friend wants to sell me his truck ( a 2001 Ford F-150 Lightning ) for $18,000. It has 29,778 miles on it. A KN Air filter and Cold Air Intake. Everything else is stock. Is it worth it? Is it a fast truck? I can buy a brand new 2002 F-150 for about $500 more.

I'd say get it. New they're about $32k. I know a dealer around here still wants 30k for an '01.

Stock C&D lists them running 14.2, but that can easily be changed with some mods.
What color is it? Here's my neighbor's '02.

Jump all over that FORD. That is one of the only fords I would buy. For $18,000 that is awesome. My friends was going to get a 2002 for $34,000 brand new. They sell a chip for the lightening that adds over 50 hp. I raced a 2001 Red Lightening in my friends LS1 that had a cold air intake k&N and a chip and he ran a 12.9. He beat the LS1 it ran a 13.0. I would so get that truck if I was you. Have fun with it and race everyone and kick most of their asses.

Yeah, I'd pick it up, I've driven an 01 in very good condition,very nice,espically the deep black ones.. and yes it's probably the only ford I would buy.

That might change when the new '03 SC Cobra comes out.
