Ford Lightning - Thoughts/Experiences?

I can feel the Chevy loyalist cringes already! Anyhow...

I'm always on Craigslist looking at random rides for sale and came across one.
Not in the market but it caught my eye. I've always liked these trucks and the Harley editions. Not a fan of stepsides but could make an exception with one of these. Not a bad looking truck really. That boosted 5.4 puts out some decent power with a lot of potential. Sure these are older but for the time they were decent for their intended purpose.

I've never driven or been in one but they seem like a lot of fun. Seeing them for 10-15 grand now with of course many of them having 100k+ miles.

Thoughts on these?

You would be better off getting an SRT10 Dodge truck. Since you said step side, I assuming you were talking about the 99 to 01. They are only 360hp unless you find an 01. They were 380HP. They were impressive in their day. Not so much now. They also were pretty ugly. I know I wouldnt pay that much for a truck that old with over 100k miles. You could get more performance for the same coin or a little more.

Now thinking about that SRT. V-10 Viper power.
