I recently got a raise and i am in the market for a new vehicle. I was thinking about getting a SVT lightning. I would like to stay in the truck or SUV market though. What do guys think and if not a lightning what do you suggest?

yeah the lightnings are sweet trucks. are they 4x4's though? i heard that they were really poor in the winter so I assumed they were just 2wd. my dad has a 2000 F-150 w/ a 5.4L V8, its like walking on ice when its in 2wd on snowy days, but 4wd it will go anywhere. so if you need this truck for winter i'd reccommend the dodge with the hemi if the lightning isn't a 4x4.

theres a guy in town that uses his lightning for winter.. it was cheaper for him to buy brand new rims and winter tires then get winter tires for his 18' rims..

put in some wight and some good tires and it would be bearable.. but not smart.. there pretty bad azz
