The SVT pickup is something completely different and built by the division =
of Ford that builds the SVT Mustang Cobra. It will not be available for =
sale or service at all Ford dealers, only select ones that sell SVT =
products. The truck has already been reviewed by a major magazine I saw =

was but I am going back to find out. My son wanted me to consider one but =
I told him that it cost 10k more than I wanted to spend and I=27ve had =
better luck with Dodge trucks in the past. If I wanted to spend another =
10k on a V8 dak I am sure I could easily beat ANY Ford.
