You probably saw one of the new F-150 Lightning trucks.
They look like an Expedition from the front.

There was a concept one. Not a production model.

Let's pray it stays that way...

SUV's are bad enough as is... laugh

I've seen the SVT Expedition prototype. It looked cool, sure, but still, that's a big vehicle to be "high performance". Nimble it isn't. What you saw was probably a case of ricing. Since you can buy the emblems and decals, it isn't hard to slap them on anything. I saw a older Dakota with Ranger "Edge" decals on it too...

You would be suprised. It handles pretty good.

Troy --

Why are the rear disks larger than the front disks (12.1 vs 13.1 inches, respectively)?

It has brakes from the Lightning. The rears are larger diameter but have less pad surface area. The reason for this is to accommodate the "drum in hat" parking brake.
