Straight from the horses mouth. Ford says the lighting runs a 14.6sec 1/4mile. some mags say 14.5-14.0 and some owners claim 13.8 stock. Does anyone know for sure what these trucks really run, showroom stock???

Now 'MotorTrends Truck Trends magazine' says the SVT THUNDER "suv" runs a 14.1 and weighs 5,400lbs with the same engine and hp rating. OKAY!! so you ad 1,000lbs and lose .1 secs in the 1/4mile????
