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

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...

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