S2 Ep20: F150 Lightning Debut and Cool Street Trucks Of Yore
May 21, 2021
Show notes
The F-150 Lightning debut is arguably the most important vehicle debut so far in 2021, so we don't feel like we can ignore it. However, we have talked about the electric truck in a previous episode and have discussed Ford a lot recently. We decided that rather than us having yet another conversation about the model, we'd put some fresh faces on the show. This is also an experiment because we'd like to have our own Rambling About Cars livestream, but we aren't sure whether that's something our audience wants. This is the way to test the waters. Give us feedback at podcast@motor1.com. The first half of the show is dedicated to street-focused performance trucks like the first two generations of the Ford F-150 Lightning. We discuss models like the Dodge Lil' Red Express, Dodge Shelby Dakota, Chevrolet 454 SS, GMC Syclone, Chevy Silverado SS, Dodge Ram SRT-10, and Toyota Tacoma X-Runne
