lightning, i have always wanted a first gen lightning...

Lightning, there's nothing else to say.

Lightning, there's nothing else to say.

hm....i'll say this...454

nothing better than a full size truck that's fast with a big v-8, screw Ford's little engines and i absolutely love the Dakota R/T's styling

Looks are just your opinion wich I would have to disagree with you, but the numbers don't lie the Lightning is just as fast as the 454's.

I really dont like the R/Ts styling at all, but its a good truck, but my favorites are 454 and Lightning, Lightning is #1 on my list though(wonder why?). A black 91 454 does look badass though. Heres some pics of a 454ss ill try to get some of the dakota and lightning later. http://www.sportruck.com/custom/454ss.htm

My old truck looked exactly like that, only it had a 350. I think I would take the 454SS with that big block there is soooo much potential and I love the way they look...damn I miss my truck.

454 ss......not super fast stock but its just a beast waiting to be unleashed!

but i'd take my truck over any of them

go with the rt i had one a few years ago and those things haul ass and i like the looks of it....i havent figured out why i like the way they look but i just do lol

I'd have to go with the 454 cause ive always been a chevy guy, but i would love to have any of the trucks. They are all really closely matched and a drag race would come down to how good the driver was.

Dakota, easy choice.

The other two are too damn ugly for me to be seen in. :sunglasse

with a nice set of wheels the 454 ss is a sweet looking truck.

I guess I got the 454ss's stats a bit off. Gah, a 454ss looks so much better in black.

I'll have to go with the Lightning. Better roadholding, better qurater mile, better fuel economy, better looking.

I like both trucks as long as the 454 is black. But I would rath have a Lightning. Their performce is almost exacty the same until you get down to the handiling. Then the Lightning fairs a little better.

Wow...I just looked at that article and saw the red SS, I've never seen one that wasn't black before. That red one is fugly.
