Reason I shouldn't buy a Lightning?
I've needed a truck for years but have never bought one because I really never liked any. I recently drove a 99' lightning at my Fiance's dad's dealership and loved it. I think I am going to get a new one ordered this summer ( I have to wait till we get married to get the A plan price).
I have a couple questions:
Trailer: I want to pull and enclosed 14' Motorcycle trailer with it a few times a year. Will I have problems? Is the lightning a good choice for pulling or will I have to keep borrowing trucks to pull one. His salesmen mechanics all say yes it will pull it. I would like to hear from someone that has actually done it.
Insurance: I have been told a few different things about insurance. One person said that the insurance companies have a higher insurance on it due to its blower. Some have said its the same as an F250. What's the deal?
Thanks.

I have pulled 5 Jap bikes down to florida for bike week twice a year every year for the past 2 years . over 1300 miles each way.
I have 14ft V- nosed enclosed trailer.. i pull 4 bikes in the trailer and 1 in the bed. no problems and u can cruise to over 100 easily...the torque makes it easy to get to speed quickly on the highway. But i do get crappy gas mileage. I will probably buy a new s/crew next summer so i can keep the miles off the L.
if u get a new L it may be better to pull due to the gears but i'm not sure.

Towing
The L is the best tow vehicle I have ever driven. I tow a 22' MasterCraft boat and have a 12' motorcycle trailer that I tow around. The L is a very stable tow vehicle. You will be surprised how many vehicles you actually CAN pass while towing. I have blown many minds towing my boat with it. I have also owned many trucks in my day and can honestly say that my Lightning is the best all around vehicle I have ever owned. It does it all
