Well crap. I guess I can cross this off my calendar. According the the Old Town website, this is a L / F-150 HD get together. My 8' tall Superduty probably won't be allowed in.....
I remember what PITA's they were about their modifications for Friday night cruises:
You MUST have four (4) or more items on your 1988 or newer vehicle to participate in the Friday Nite Cruise! NO EXCEPTIONS!
1. Lowered bodies
2. Custom body modifications
3. Body graphics
4. Flame paint
5. Custom paint
6. Aftermarket hood scoops
7. Aftermarket spoilers
8. Aftermarket strobe lights
9. Neon Lights
10. Custom Wheels/rims
11. Ground effects
12. Custom license plates/tags
13. Window graphics
Of these, I have two.
This is how they're advertising the 30th:
01/30: Featuring Ford Lightning Trucks from 9:00am – 3:00pm. The Ford SVT Lightning is a sports/performance version of the F-150 Pickup truck designed by Ford's SVT (Special Vehicle Team) division. The first generation of the Lightning Truck was produced from 1993-1995. The 1993 Lightning had an incredible 23 product "firsts" or pilot applications, including the first true dual exhaust on an F-Series, the first bucket seats in an F-Series, the first 17" wheels and tires, and the first use of synthetic lubricant in Ford truck rear axles. These trucks were manufactured at Ford's Michigan Truck Facility in Wayne, Michigan. In 1999, after a five-year hiatus, Ford SVT unveiled the Second Generation Ford Lightning Truck. Powered by a modular SOHC 24-valve 5.4 L Triton, the new engine was capable of producing 360 horsepower (270 kW) and 440 ft·lbf (600 N·m) of torque. In the 2001 Model Year, the engine design was slightly altered to produce 380 horsepower (280 kW) @ 4,750 rpm and 450 ft·lbf (610 N·m) of torque @ 3,250 rpm. With these modifications to the engine and additional drive rain revisions, Car and Driver magazine drove a Lightning from zero to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 5.2 seconds making these trucks very popular to the sport enthusiast. The second generation Lightning Trucks were manufactured at Ford's Ontario Truck Facility in Oakville, Ontario until its closure.
