Since Ive had this truck all I want to do is drive where ever when ever. I had a Dodge Dakota R/T I thought is was fast and drove great. The Lightning is almost twice as fast and handling like a sports car. If you can afford it nobody can beat the lightning! I would take my lightning anyday over an R/T.

Excellent performance, acceleration and handling on curves and at high speed. Not a good vehicle for gas mileage: averages about 13.5 city and about 15 on the highway. No problems with the truck except clear coat. The clear coat evidently is not compatable with Louisiana water--the water ATE it. Can't polish it back to new luster. Not good mileage on tires either-- Goodyear F1's 295/45ZR18 may last 20k with rotations every 3k and watch the air pressure.

I have had many types of trucks. I have also spent a lot of time on my trucks. I have found the most exsilirating truck I have ever seen ( under usual paments) This truck is an excellent choice for the fast sportlike truck. This truck is very fun to drive and easy to clean.

White Lightning

This is not a vehicle for luxury car lovers. It is a handful to drive on uneven roads & bumpy roads due to the wide tires and stiff suspension. On good roads, I wouldn't trade it for anything I have ever driven. High speed driving on good road is easy and makes for a enjoyable trip. If you like attention, this vehicle will get you plenty of that.

What can I say about this vehicle other than WOW. I bought my 1999 Lightning used in February of 2001. I owned a 1995 Cobra prior and wanted a truck with a Cobra like feel. That is exactly what I got. I've had zero problems with anything on the truck. The performance is outstanding, throw you back in your seat, tire screaming, fast and furious excitement. The gas mileage is not bad either. I once drove on a 300 mile trip and averaged 19 mpg. I would recommend this truck to anybody.
