It's just a fast and furious styled ranger that didn't go over well. No performance upgrades, just Bullitt/GT wheels and a body kit.

The Thunderbolt was a special edition factory ford race car. If memory serves me it was a light weight fairlane or something like that with a 427??...either way, they are a very rare factory race car youll see them once and awhile at the drag strip. Not sure about this pickup thing. Maybe its like people calling there mustang a 'cobra' when its actually a cobra edition mustang...not the real enchalada. [patriot]

you saw someeone with a thunderbolt sticker and a body kit.

a thunderbolt ranger (there is only one from ford) is a regular cab 6 speed ranger with the 380 hp lightning motor. Basically the whole front end of the ranger was replace with an f150 to fit the wide 5.4.

there is also a ford built blown 5.0 ranger in their warehouses somewhere......again only one

I was behind a thunderbolt ranger on friday. A far cry from the thunderbolt fairlane.
