Ford Motor Company has set the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the limited edition 2000 Harley-Davidson F-150 pickup truck, the first vehicle jointly developed by the two legendary companies, at $32,995.

"The Harley-Davidson F-150 is an exciting truck designed by two icons of the American road, reflecting the `Authentic American Muscle' tradition of both companies," said George Magro, project manager of the Ford and Harley-Davidson Alliance. "This is the first of more exciting products to come," added Magro.

Up to 7,500 of the trucks can be produced for North America at Ford's Ontario Truck Plant in Canada. Job #1 (production start-up) is scheduled for April 10, with showroom availability scheduled for May. The 4x2 SuperCab is dressed in black monochromatic paint accented with distinctive Harley-Davidson Ò orange pinstriping, chrome grille and brightwork with a flareside box topped by a hard shell tonneau cover. The 260 horsepower 5.4 liter Triton V-8 single overhead cam engine powers massive 20x9-inch five-spoke chromed cast aluminum wheels and P275/45R 20 Goodyear Eagle GTII tires _ the first ever 20-inch wheels on a Ford production vehicle.
