What do you think on the new Ford Lobo?

[Cartoon_209]

What do you guys think about the F150 lobo? I think they missed on it but I do like the fact that they’ve added 4A to a lower trim now.

An XL single cab would have worked for me. A four door sport truck?!

A little generic, and a real sports truck doesn't also need to be a family truckster.

It's a bullshit new trim of plastic parts to charge more so they can recoup their EV boondogle.

Just nope. The idea of a truck street rod is not my thing. My Tremor is plenty bad ass and will go off road with an attitude. To each their own.

I'm a big street truck guy, but I think ever since the 11th gen ROUSH stage 1-3, Nitemare, Harley-Davidson, and Foose trucks, the special packages really lost their luster.

Regardless of the performance being pathetic by today's standards, those trucks were very special in terms of the body parts and appearance of how everything fit together with all of the accent pieces. That's a large reason why my 2004 has so many rare OEM Harley-Davidson parts from the '06-08 generation. It was just exclusive, only available on those trucks and many people didn't really know what they were. Plus the parts really looked good and fit the trucks so darn well.

The parts today are always generic now, they're on too many vehicles, making it a part's bin special for the most part. Totally understand the business behind it and why they tend to be that way, but none of these packages anymore I feel are special. I like more basic these days and choose to change what I want to...if anything.

Not hating on the factory dual exhaust because it does sound nice, but it's not special anymore. Who cares since everyone has it. So seeing it on that truck just looks generic to me.

I won't critique the price because it is what it is in this environment. We'll likely look back in 5 to 10 years and wish for these prices today. But I do think with how expensive vehicles have become, these packages are so niche that they become a tough sell. You're seeing that with the overpriced ridiculous bronco raptors. They can't sell them very well because they're priced out of the people who would probably buy them. Those that have the money probably aren't buying a bronco raptor for 90 to 100,000 lol. They want something else.

I would buy it if it came in a powerboost, was wondering when those rims were coming out. Had seen them on test mules a couple years ago

4A should be an option available for every trim. If anything, a regular cab shortbed needs it more than any other configuration. Paywalling safety features is total bullshit.

Lighted grill is cool that’s about it. The looks aren’t there for me personally. Old software on a brand new truck is wild. It won’t last

 

[Ronin1973]

Ugly.

Ya, I'm good without that.

I would be cool if they had regular cabs and the 5.2 predator as an options but otherwise I think it’s dumb. And it’s not actually lowered, they just took out the rear lift block.
