we all know what kind of mod potential you have with factory forced induction


I've asked before, but can somebody show me where ford (or reliable source) said it's gonna have a manual tranny? All I've seen is that it's gonna have auto.

I sorta like the idea of having an all motor vehicle pushing more/same power as the competion... but all is good.
Who knows how much more the lightning is gonna cost with the new engine, this could all boil down to which truck you think looks better,, personally I like parts of both. I need to build vehicles,, I'd make them perfect...
