I don't think so. While I believe they did make Lightnings in a 4-door version I'd imagine the 2-door is more likely to be found as it's more "sporty." And it's hard to tell but I don't think it's one of the right generation, the first SVTs were run from 93-95 which this truck obviously is not, and another one came out I think in 99 which this looks like it may or may not be from that generation. The bed area looks right but the cab area doesn't.

They never made a 4 door Lighting, However they did make a Harley Davidson Super crew with the lighting engine alongside the 2nd generation Lighting.

Someone wrongly labeled an HD as a Lightning in an image, I guess. Black top and silver bottom, pretty sure that's the HD paint job.

Same engine as the other F-150's. 2 valve 5.4 triton engine with an Eaton M112 roots supercharger. The Lightning came factory with a smaller pulley and different tuning, the HD used a larger one. I want to say the HD used a 3.2" pulley stock, and the Lightning used a 2.93" It is also the same supercharge that the Cobra used from the factory.

Black and silver, or black on black. They all had a silver strip with a hologram HD logo splitting the paint colors. \

Nope, all rice. Thats a body kit, and an ugly one at that.

As promised lmao
Huh. Look at that Ford Ranger just to the left in the background. Is it a Ford owner thing to not park in the lines? The trailer dude gets an out only because of the trailer. Also, needs more Stance Nation. Make sure to tell the guy that.

Needs to profile the wheel a bit. I make sure I always park our tug like that, want to make everyone jealous of our sweet ride.

Theres this 2010 white Chev 1500 at college im assuming some hick owns. Its got about an 8" lift on. 35's with 20" wheels. Mid rant, why does EVERY modern aftermarket pickup wheel look hideous. I have seen maybe 2 or 3 styles of aftermarket wheels that look okay. They are all black, blocky, and dont match the rest of the vehicle at all. So this pickup has 4 inches of tire sticking out on each side of the fender since daddy found out their boy spent 10grand on lifting his old pickup and he made him stop. Worst of all the camber and caster on the front end was hideous, and their was the worst looking exhaust on it ive ever seen. 2" aluminized pipe TRUE DUEL MAN hanging 6" below the frame/rocker line. Theres something with lifted pickups, i dont know if the lift ruins them or the owners ruin them but every lifted pickup that has had it for over 5 years is falling apart, rusty, beat up, ect.

And EVERY redneck that cuts the muffler off, puts a glasspack, bone collector rear window decal, diamond plate tool box for your bur (thats suppose to be beer, thats just how they pronounce it), and some crappy lift with whips (CB antenneas if you dont know the lingo). Theres an insane amount of them in town (when college goes back in session the average height of vehicles in town raises 3")

I dont have a problem with off road vehicles (id love to build a pre-runner or scout), but people that think their clapped out pickup is some mud machine with an exhaust and some knobby tires on black rims and some stickers just blows me away,

The overall look and function is nice. An Atlas I5 is a nice bonus unless you're looking for the V8 version. But it seems so... lady-like? I see several around here, all with women owning and driving them. Seems like a "baby brother" version to an H1 or H2, but likely has a considerable difference in running costs to make up for it. Still has the nice aggressive stance to do a bit of playing out-of-the-box before you get to jacking it up and whatever else, too.

While researching (mostly for the wife's bemusement) how the TB would look (kind of) with black plasti-dipped stock wheels (to hide the Godawful clearcoat failure/pitting/corrosion before Carlisle), I came upon this gem... a CONVERTIBLE 03 TB... Feast thine eyes...

From the website:

http://www.carid.com/chevy-trailblazer-accessories/ (scroll down all the way to see the blurb)
Topless TrailBlazer

The land of the aftermarket offers limitless world of possibilities. If you don't believe that, then take a look at this convertible Chevy TrailBlazer. There are not that many convertibles that can be taken off the road or used to haul a trailer, but this vehicle is an exception.
The 2003 Chevy TrailBlazer 4WD has been converted for a Rose Bowl Parade. It has only 29,500 miles and can be purchased for $15,000. But for the obvious modification of removing the roof, the side body panels have been smoothed out, removing the unattractive plastic cladding fitted to the Chevy TrailBlazers of that time. Having enough seating for 6 friends of the driver, this convertible is perfect for the sunny climates. But be careful not to go to the Pacific Northwest as this Chevy has neither a convertible top, nor even a removable cover. Of course it's not a problem, the aftermarket world can surely offer a decent solution. So if you want to get a one-of-a-kind convertible, this TrailBlazer is what you need.

When I would love to do with something like the Envoy or Trailblazer or even an Audi wagon, all without sunroofs, is do something like T tops over both the front and second row seating. This gives you four glass/poly carb tops, and of course storage problems, but I think it would look really cool.

That looks WAY better than the pickups with the Mossy Oak camo on the trim and bumpers. I shook my head at one yesterday.

Skip the A. Should be, "Rolling blindly." Bet those windows wouldn't pass inspection in most states.
