That trucks exhaust is nice!!!!!

On a side note what a useless thread this is. Just because you dont like something you post a ****ty thread???? Every truck whether lowered, or lift just as long as there custom is all it matters. I hate driving something that looks like everyone else and thats why i lower my trucks.

Here's my take on the "street truck".

You can buy a two wheel drive truck with a high torque V8 pretty cheap.

There are power adders all over the place for these trucks. Adding a supercharger will add a decent amount of torque and horse power.

Lowering a truck lowers the center of gravity, improving handling. With minor suspension improvements, a pick up truck can actually handel well.

A pick up truck is actually a good, cost effective chassis for building a fast vehicle.

A Chrysler 300 will do it.

Hahahaha your sayin a 300 can tow my boat? No way. They are rated at 1000 lbs. The 300c with the hemi v8 can pull a whopping 2000 lbs. This thread is weak. Its all personal preference whether you want to roll in a lifted, lowered or stock truck. Different strokes for different folks.
