my '03 has got nearly 600 flywheel HP and it is my daily driver (and my only vehicle for that matter).

I drove it though the winter (snow) the first year (not a good idea), and I bought a bronco beater last winter for the snow and sold it in the spring.

if you live in Miami, I don't see any reason why you can't drive the L every day of the year.

if you are worried about chips and such, get the 3M clear bra and drive away!

good luck.

later,

Daily driven for sure..... Im thinking about getting a Gen 1 as a second "to and from work" truck eventually though...

 

Daily Driver here.

 

STOP! You guys are ruining all my reasons for selling my L! By the end of the day you're gonna have me convinced to keep it ....

I drive mine all year even through the snow. I simply got a set of steel wheels and some Bridgestone winter duelers and really, this thing is a beast in the snow. Not a problem ever. My 99 was the same!

Yup me too. I've had mine almost a year, 15k miles or should I say 15k smiles.

 

me to , bought the truck in august 2003 have 36 track runs
just did the 25,000 km service,

 

In two weeks ill be reaching my 1st anniversary with my truck. I just recently passed 21,000 miles. It had 12 miles when I bought it new. Absolutely no problems till now, tires are still holdin up. Its a GREAT daily driver, just sucks alot of gas...but thats fine. IMO ... . Only problem is im starting to crave something manual shifting. But not a biggy.

 

Daily Driver here, had it almost 7 months and currenty has over 7600 miles and runs great.

In fact, with my chip and pulley, it runs like a raped ape.

 

50 mile round trip to work every day for the last april... with the mods, and not a single problem other than 3 sets of tires in 23000 miles... lol.

Couple of minor chips in the front bumper cover, but I wouldnt give up driving my L every day even if I did have another vehicle.

 

KCinAZ: You need to remove that huge .gif from your sig, or shrink it a lot. It's over 122K in size! Thats hell on our 56K brother lightning owners!

 

Bought my 02 in February 2002. Now has 50K miles. Daily driver and still going strong. I plan to buy the Gen III and will probably keep the 02 as backup.

Stay with the L.

 

I drive mine daily also. Thing that kind of sucks is that I also have a have a Kawasaki ZRX1200R that sits in my garage. I almost never ride it cause it's so damn fun to drive the truck. I got rid of a 2003 Mustang GT to buy the L and I wouldn't even think of going back. Just finished up with the mods and netted 418 HP on 91 octane pump gas. Now, that's a daily driver.

 

I use mine as a daily driver. It is fantastic. I don't drive it in the winter though. I park it and have a 4x4 to deal with the snow and idiots who think they can make it on summer tires.
