the SRT10 sucks it's 20K more than a lightning, looks like crap and can't even be used as a truck.

IMHO get a lightning and take the extra 20K to build a 750HP 1000ftlb motor and run deep in the 10's all day.

as above, have heard good and bad things about the SR10. Some facts/figures about it not being able to be used a a proper truck or summit, whereas the F150 can pull up to 4 tonne without a prob.. Some useless facts but im still sticking to the F150!!

The 23's look shit hot on the swedes car. Your best off buying rims from the states and shipping em over (as Danny is most probably aware).

The SRT-10 is very tasty indeed but as said is around £45k.

I wouldnt say no to one but for the extra money you get a huge 8.3l V10 but it only does another 7mph over the Lightning and is no faster to 60 or over the qtr mile.

ANd it aint a Ford

I would only consider an L as a second or third vehicle here in the UK. Apart from the cost of gas, it's wide for our country lanes and hard to park in town, a handful in the wet, lethal in snow...

But on a bright, dry winters day like today, empty A roads, there's a real feel good factor driving a truck that only a handful of cars on the road can keep up with

Look after it, keep the mileage low, don't pay over the odds, it should hold value

Only rated to carry 900lbs payload

Lightning is similar, but the Lightning is rated to tow 5000lbs, the regular cab SRT-10 is not rated for towing at all
