2003 Ford F150 'Harley-Davidson' Anniversary Utility (RHD)

The F-Series pickups from Ford have been in constant production since their introduction way back in 1948 and the F-100 of 1953 proved Dearborn's designers were capable of combining practicality with good looks. Since 1978, the F-Series Ford has been the best selling truck in America and, by 1987, had become the best selling vehicle in the country, displacing passenger cars for the first time. In 1997 a newly revised F-150 boasted aerodynamic styling with a choice of flareside or styleside rear beds and the latest incarnation of the F-150 was awarded ?Truck of the Year? by Motor Trend magazine. For the first time, fully independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes were introduced along with a new range of SOHC modular engines. For the 2000 model year, Ford collaborated with Harley-Davidson to produce a limited edition version of the F-150 that embodied all the legendary spirit of the Milwaukee motorcycle manufacturer. Starting with a SuperCab with styleside pick-up bed, Ford lowered the suspension one inch and added massive chromed 20-inch alloy wheels on Goodyear P275/45R20 Eagle GTII tyres along with an exhaust system with twin 3.5-inch chrome tips tuned to produce that unique 'hog' sound. External differences included menacing black paintwork with a chrome nerf bars, special Harley-Davidson badging and a unique grille. Inside the cabin is tastefully trimmed in black leather with Harley logos, six-disc in-dash CD player, electronic temperature control system and unique instrument cluster. A few changes were made to the model by 2003, including a supercharger to boost power to 340 bhp, along with a billet-style grille, the option of black on silver paint and ABS as standard.
