03 or newer

dont get a dodge, you'll regret it. if you get a lightning or a Harley, buy a 2003 or newer or you will blow out spark plugs, both the 03 and newer Harley and Lightning are GREAT trucks and you'll be happy with either. They get 12-15 MPG, but the DODGE is more like 10-12. The Ford gets better gas mileage, and with a supercharger and you cant go wrong. if the Harley is too much truck for ya, then look into some creative ways to stash your stuff, IE bed-boxes, etc, and get the Lightning. They have a decent amount of room in the lower portion behind the seats, and its a split power bench if that helps any. Good luck, and let us all know how much you love your truck, oh, you're gonna pay from 25-34 grand on a 2003 or 2004 depending on mileage, condition, etc. Try to stray away from ones that have been modified mechanically or raced too much unless you KNOW the person did it right.

Don't get a Lightning or HD

Who are we kiddin?
Dude, I speculate that most of your bike events are rain or shine, i.e. muddy access roads etc, right? The Lightning and HD or any 2WD full size truck would easily get stuck and you'll probably also get the nice suede interior messed up getting in to the truck after a race in the rain (could be helped with some wet okole seast covers, but...)

For your application I would rather get a midsize 4WD truck like the Ford Explorer SportTrack, or start saving for the SVT Sport Trac Adrenalin

lol, how can you recommend something other than a Lightning, and then tease him with the picture of that gorgeous Black lightning under your message? LOL I see your point though. BK
