The | The Contender's outwards appearances has styling very reminiscent of the [http://www.pickuptrucks.com/html/autoshows/naias2003/ford/lightning1.html third generation] [[wikipedia:Ford Lightning|Ford SVT Lightning concept]], most noticeably in the front bumper, grille (in shape, not including the split grille), hood, and back end; the color varieties it appears in are like most modern [[wikipedia:Ford F150|Ford F-150s]] though. It has a Chevrolet-like, horizontally-split grille and headlights that are similar to the [[wp:Chevrolet Avalanche#2007 - present|2007 Chevrolet Avalanche]]. Its Supercharged 5.7L V8 engine is also similar to the Lightning concept but with a larger displacement V8 (the Lightning had a 5.4L V8). | ||
The Contender comes with a variety of bed modifications. | |||

Despite being a pickup, it isn't a good choice for offroad driving due to its low ground clearance and lack of AWD. | ||
