I think will pass on it because it is salvage title but I would still pick this over the L. You have to be biased as fuck to think a L is better than this truck though. I mean let's be real.
NO you have to be a retard, to think this truck is in any way better than a 2nd gen lighting! You could put a charger on a gen 1 and still walk all over this truck! I love it when people ask your opinion, then like a retard disregard it and just go with the other item.

Ok so how about this you take a fat whipple and put in both trucks and tell me who wins? I'm not sure on that outcome because I've never driven a whippled vehicle so don't know but you guys might.... I've driven a lightning and it wasn't stock. Matter of fact a member on here who's a buddy of mine owns it now. His truck is fast but I'll keep doing my research. And as for the srt10 flipping. I LOVE THE VIDEO!!!!

I've installed and driven a couple Whipples on a '03 Cobra it only had 764RW but a Whippled Lightning would just be fuckin' sick!
Are you purchasing the truck to race or work/tow rig?

So my line up of cars would be a built lx notch for racing, a built street notch, a somewhat modded lx hatch, a f250 with 7.3 for hauling and towing and either a lightning or srt10 or then express r/t with a vortech kit on it for a fun truck

if you want a truck to play with. Go with a Ford Courier. You can easy drop a efi302 based motor and rape.

Then you'll need a clean daily driver, like a cts-v cause it's got an LS1 bruh!

No no, a Ford GT would be the clean daily, or a GT-500 with twins.

It had to have had some serious damage to get salvaged.

I wouldnt buy Dodge anything (unless your talking pre 71)
The Cummins is a great engine, best diesel out IMO but they hook it up to a shit transmission and that shit aint cheap to replace.
The SRT10 trucks are shit too. I've seen a few and wasent impressed by them plus im sure it aint cheap to keep up maintenance on that V10. The L is an all around better truck.
If your looking for trucks, I would rate them like this:
Street performance: L
Off Road: Raptor
Towing/Hauling: Ecoboost F-150
Yea there all Fords but when it comes to the truck game, Ford really can't be beat. If there was a better truck by a differnt brand I would list it.

So you think a Ecoboost can out tow a Powerstroke, Cummins, or a Durashit dually? I like my POS Cummins even though it hasn't given me any problems, well actually, I had to do the brakes on it.

No, not at all. When it comes to towing, a diesel will always be better. That’s why every manufacture puts it in there heavy duty trucks.
I was speaking in more of real world terms. The ecoboost can handle 11,000+lbs, gets good gas mileage and is based on a smaller platform so it’s easier to maneuver around. It's better suited for the bay area.

I hate driving my Cummins around in the city, what a PITA. The Ecoboost is definitely hands down the baddest 1/2 ton for towing.
