Still, doesn't bother me as much. No rational reason why.
That didn't bother me as much, for some reason. Mostly because I don't think they used the word Mustang at all, right? Just Mach.
Opposite of my SVO, which has no Mustang and only Ford.Amusingly there are no Ford badges: only Mustangs.
Eh, I wouldn't say it was reserved for any particular configuration. Regular cab was essentially the norm at the time (were there extended cab 150's AT ALL in 1993?), and the ninth gen was short bed, yes, but the tenth gen was stepside.I'm not liking this. The Lightning was always reserved for the fast regular cab short bed F-150. This will be a luxury truck that happens to be electric (and possibly pretty quick).

It's not a particularly storied nameplate, being used exactly twice for a total of seven model years (out of 73) and 2 generations (out of 14). It's also an english word nameplate, and we're going to have to accept a certain amount of reuse across multiple genres lest everything be named with Incomprehensible Series of Numbers - especially when the genre it originally pertained to is dead and never coming back.
And let's be real here - all fullsize pickup trucks are luxury trucks now. There is no putting that cat back in that bag.
Were most ye olde Mustangs sold with 6 pots anyway?
Yes they were.
Also, Lightning is the perfect name for an electric F150. Everything else could have futuristic names. Like, oh, say, FUTURA!
A never-ending social experiment:
My trailer is limited by law to 80km/h. Even when I’m trundling down a 100km/h bypass with an empty passing lane, I’m gathering cars behind me. I guess this Golf figured 80km/h was good enough.
The golf didn’t bother me, but these are the same people that create queues behind lorries on roads with no passing lane. It’s frustrating when you’re the sixth in line and need to pass four cars before you even get to the lorry.

I see the same class of drivers on the Autobahn.
Say it's three lanes per direction, left lane is mostly empty with the occasional ?️, right lane has a loose following of trucks, trailers, and other slow cars doing 80-90. I'm in the middle, maybe top down, maybe not in a hurry, maybe doing 110-120 ish. Someone closes in from behind doing maybe 130 ish, also in the middle lane passing all the trucks.
They stay behind me, no passing despite the mostly empty left lane. This might go on for many minutes. When there is a massive gap in the right lane I usually take it, and instantly the follower will speed up to pass. Why they didn't use the mostly clear left lane is anyone's guess.

A very very small number of super-wide-but-still-single-lane-per-direction roads in Lower Saxony have those signs, encouraging trucks to drive over the solid white line, creating enough space within their direction for cars to pass.

I think some folk have a complex about being passed.I've noticed the same thing. The worst are the ones who aren't paying attention to their speed and end up driving just under the limit until someone tries to pass, then latch on to their blind spot regardless of the speed. I eventually roll off the throttle and drop my speed, then mat it to shake them free and move out of the passing lane.
