More info and pics by @Rancheroni (see his post below)

I was actually at KoH (King of Hammers) on Wednesday for the Optima Unplugged. I was the only Lightning in a sea of Rivians lol. Saw this Saleen Lightning in person. It's definitely a Pro with vinyl seats. But has the lightbar added.

Talked to the Saleen guy.

It's got the front shocks/suspension from the raptor. Direct bolt on but needed a different sized axle.

The rear suspension was custom. The fenders were also from raptor. Nothing else done to the drivetrain.

Those look like raptor fenders and they look great! Wonder how much modifying they are having to do to get them to work? Thanks for the post

Looks cool but what about that 200 mile ER range?

That's a Pro (Charge Port badge)!

With a Lightbar...hmmm.

Not the Pro grille anyway. Looks like it's more XLT than Pro... They could have been supplied a mix of parts or trim pieces. We can only guess how they worked with Ford or other partners to source the truck for this.

....Seats appear to be the Pro seats.

Pro Door Handles and Mirrors. I bet they swapped on an XLT Grill with Lightbar.

Yeah, I was amending my post above noting the seats look like Pro seats when your reply came through... Like you say, probably just a grille swap... probably for the light bar.

I find it sad that they swap out the whole suspension instead of just upgrading from the OEM Lightning suspension. Kind of makes you think Ford should have just used the Raptor instead of reinventing everything.

Here’s a video about it:

Was the lightbar functional?

I didn't see it on, but it was also in a hot, sunny desert during the middle of the day. I was mostly looking at the graphics and wheels/lift. I'm 95% sure it was functional, considering it's a promo vehicle and probably debuts in dark/indoor scenarios as well.

Hmmm, been waiting for someone to give confirmation of activation of the Lightbar on a Pro (Forscan settings).

How was the course in the Lightning ?
I was thinking about going to this but forgot all about it.
