get the hemi or an f-250 for towing....the lightning would be maxed out as far as towing goes once you figure in the weight of the trailer, or a silverado 2500.....

if you're seriously going to use it almost exclusively for towing....go diesel!

You should get one of those 6.0L Turbo diesels in the F250. They put out like 325hp and 560ft/lbs of torque stock

Did anyone see the Trucks! where he installed the 6-gun Gene Banks bundle on a 6.0L Powerstroke diesel F-250? He said they gained like 138+ hp and 231ft/lbs of torque on the 6th setting! Thats like over 700ft/lbs of torque! I bet you could tow a house with that kinda power!

Talk about tire smoking, man oh man!!

But if you cant get one of those, then I'd go for the lightning...

Bumpin-

Seriously I don't know why its so hard for you to choose!
Honestly you know, and I know that you are going to be getting a Chevy Aveo

For a few hundred bucks you slap on a tow kit and you are set.....
You know you want to get the hatchback! :D
I had to drive one of those for my rental for awhile.

It sucked alot.

I just watched that episode today! Spike TV is having a Trucks! marathon. he said the gains were like 150hp + and like almost 300 lb/ft. he did some massive burnouts in that thing... i am curious to see what that thing would run in the quarter mile.. B)

between those two go w/the hemi... the Lightning is an awesome truck and fast... but I don't know that it's all that great for towing... car + trailer + passenger + equipment + tools and you're right at the max weight ... and don't even think about a nice enclosed trailer...

A nice silverado would do the trick too... The Titan seems too new to me... not good to buy a few year or two model of a car/truck if you can help it (though I broke that rule w/my GTP heh)
