"Lubricity"? is that even a word?

You mean like the Lightning? Girliefied? Farkin LOL! Us Lightning drivers consider them the ultimate F-150. The epitome of the F-150 truck. Girliefied. With a supercharged V-8? THe pink one below, maybe? That was a custom vinyl wrap job. Still looks killer to me though. The top one is mine. Magnum Powers supercharger, EGR delete, two cats deleted, hi-flow cats for the other two, running 14 pounds boost (stock is 8).

Yup, hate the new Ranger. Couldn't give me one.
This is why I don't like you. Everything has to be about the Lightning with you, as if Ford's special production performance pickup truck should have been the benchmark for everything else in the automotive world.

Two thoughts:

Two: I can't imagine what you think of me ?

At least touting a 2.9 at every turn is on topic.
It's mostly to fire back against all the 4.0 swap zombies. When I started reading on this site a year or two ago, all rhe old threads had so many "put a 4.0 in it" posts. Figured might as well lampoon them a bit.


I used to be a 2.9 enthusiast before my first 4.0 swap too.

List.

That's okay, not a lot of people like me in real life either. Oddly enough, the majority of my friends drive, wait for it, LIGHTNING's. I'm good with that. What did you expect, dude came on here and said the trucks of that era are girliefied. Them's fighting words. ;-)

Again, he was referring to their styling but you responded by talking about their specs. Somehow you're the only one confused in this conversation.

I think he hit on styling too, neither here nor there as everybody has different opinions about everything. There is no "correct" answer to the styling of a vehicle.

To no one in particular:
What some say is girlified, others say is sleek... just a difference of opinion and it isn't worth getting panties in a wad because some guy online doesn't like the same trucks you do.

Or boxers, for those with non-girlified trucks. ??‍♂

I did. Thank you for noticing. I know that some on forums don't read every word of every post. Hell, I'm guilty of that myself. LOL

I did also mention that I like my 98 Ranger, and do not like the new ones. So I wasn't totally off topic.
