1995 Ford F150 Lightening review from North America
"A high performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing went wrong with my 1995 Lightening.
General comments?
The 1995 Lightening handles very well, but at the expense of a compliant or forgiving ride. The ride can be downright harsh at times.
The driving position was somewhat cramped for my 6'3" frame. This was due to the special performance (Recarro style) bucket seats located further forward than taller drivers might like.
Everything remained rock solid and held up very well during my 5 years and nearly 140,000 miles with the Lightening.
