What do you look for in the Lightning!

01-04-2002, 08:04 PM

Ok guys here is my next beginner question. I have had common problems with my last two F150's and have learned a great deal about making these trucks last for the long hall. Have also been reading the F150 online page (great page by the way) and have read about people having the same problems about there trucks at the same milage intervalls as myself. Anyway, what are the Pro's and Con's about owning a Lightning. What milage intervals can I expect to make repairs and what repairs are they going to be. I expect to leave the truck stock and enjoy driving it for a good 100000 miles.
