I think you need to READ some information about this truck before shouting out some lies. The truck weighs about 5000 lbs and has 55%/45% (if I remember correctly) weight bias. That puts more weight over the rear wheels then the Viper.

Also, with over 500 lb-ft of torque, I would imagine it can tow its fair share. Certainly more than your average SUV. I would dig up the actual number but it's not worth it.

Next time, before spouting some hate...read up a bit and have some fact to back it.

I'd rather buy a Lightning, save $12K, get $1K in mods and blow the doors off the SRT.

Looks killer...but no extended cab + a shifter that's like rowing a boat = no sale. I'd rather have a Quad Cab Hemi.

Why not make the truck a bit more practical with an extended cab? that's the biggest downfall to these trucks. It's not like they're trying to save weight at 5000+ lbs.
