The Black Knight had a dueling dragons design on the whole hood done in gold. The wheels were accented in gold as was the interior. It came as a 4 speed manual with a 350 engine. Loaded (at the time) with power seats ,windows, air AM_FM. With the tire compounds they used, you could sit still and work the clutch to make the tires Scream. The body was Black with gold striping. A White and Blue Knight were available also. They were rare even new.

You shouldn't use illegal drugs, as it obviously impairs your judgement.

Dude if i ever got a classic that so screams me. Even if i could not get a "true" Black Knight i would make a replica of it. Only thing missing would be the code for the "Black Knight" package and maybe the motor

Well I guess if you can't sell enough mustangs you gotta make it up somewhere...good luck.

thebighar · 09-15-2011, 10:59 PM

Ford rules trucks?.....Im pretty sure chevy has sold some trucks as well. A mustang is a truck....are you high...and I have been drinking. That makes no sense to me.

I like the Ford F-150, but I like the Silverado better!

Not familiar with the platinum edition but Dodge make the best looking truck. If was looking for a truck I would go Dodge. Chevy and Ford missed the boat o styling for the last 10 or 15 years...that is unless ...errr ..this platinum edition is someting new.

KMPrenger · 09-15-2011, 11:21 PM

The Ford platinum is a great truck...and now for MY2011 with those new engines they are very very sweet. Interiors are awesome.

But I don't care a whole lot for the looks of some of the lower models.

Chevy's silverado is great too, but just a bit older and bit outclassed. Just wait for the next gen.

But for me, if I had to rate in order of what I'd own it would be: 1) Dodge Ram. 2)Ford F-150 3) Chevy Silverado.

I just love them new Dodge trucks...great looking on the outside, beautiful interior, and plenty of power. Can't beat that trio. If the Camaro had not came out, I'd likely own a new gen Ram

I bought/own a Ford. (Found on road dead/Fixed or repaided daily.) F-150. Worst truck I EVER owned. A real piece of Sh*t! Just a money pit... A month after the warrenty ran put. It started, had to replace every damn thing on the truck. Upper/lower control arms, Ball joints. Ty-rods, Complete rear end. And I only drive 15 miles to work each day. (I work in a office bldg) . The worst was one day. I left work. Made a turn on to the main road. When all of a sudden. I hear this loud Klunk & dragging sound. I'm thinkin? What the hell. I didn't run over anything. I look out my right window and mirror. Nothing. So, I looked out my left window. And WOW! I dragging my gas tank. WTF! I could have been killed. Luckly, I was only doing about 15-20 MPH. After I pay to have this fixed. Now I hear they have a recall on gas tank traps. NEVER, NEVER again will I buy a Ford truck. Period!

When I was 16, my dream "car" was a blue Ford F-150 XLT with the flaresides. Man, have times changed.
