I would tend to agree with the above statements, however, the truck pictured has Manufacturer's Plates....so it's Factory...whatever it is.

I saw that too....I think it has to be a concept of some kind that is trying to be hidden.

Maybe a test bed to road test the drivetrain?

onebadf150 · 07-19-2006, 12:49 PM

what's a manufacture's plate ?? meaning the truck belongs to Ford I thought it was a michigan plate !

onebadf150 · 07-19-2006, 12:57 PM

here's a quote someone made on blueovalnews

"Hello Everyone,

As A current lightning owner I couldn't help but chime in here.....You see the rims actually they are in the Ford performance parts catalogue...as "2004-2005 F-150 LIGHTNING WHEEL" Now the awesome part is that that particular wheel can only bolt onto AWD trucks so basically if this is a powertrain mule then that mens it will be an AWD Lightning

A Manufacturer's plate is used by the Manufacturer for testing and general pre-production use (and probably other uses as well).Kind of like a Dealer Tag used when you test drive a car....but on a much cooler scale.

Yes, it's a Michigan plate.

That truck kinda looks like a longbed to me.

No ground effects. Chrome rear bumper. I am not seeing Lightning anywhere in this picture... Sorry. my .02

Most "test vehicles" don't have the production ready parts. These are suppose to be just engineering mules. The large tires would give a clue that it may have a bit of a punch under the hood.

fla01lightning · 07-30-2006, 11:59 AM

It could have a prototype Lightning drivetrain in it...who knows.
