You may remember the Ford F-150 from the early 1990s, when it was equipped with the venerable 5.0-liter V8

and had a black paint job with unique stickers that said "Nite."

With the release of the Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum Black Edition, Ford is bringing this exclusive

This new vehicle is a great place to start if you're not familiar with the meaning of "murded-out."

The 2024 model year will see a new edition of the all-electric Ford F-150,

which will have gloss black highlights and a matte black exterior.

Going all the way back to Ford Motor Company's founding, you may remember that Henry Ford

Never doubt that Ford is making a reference to this with the 1992 Nite truck
