hey there, im thinkin about trading in my 2000 Tundra for an 2002 Lightning and jus had some questions. What I have read about the L so far is pretty impressive but the thing im mostly concerned with is reliability. I know of Fords reputation of making pretty unreliable cars and wanted to know if the Lightning falls in there with the rest. All of the cars I have previously owned have been imports (Toyota and Lexus) actually, and so far I have had zero problems with them. Also, when I checked sites like Consumer Reports and stuff, all the top reliable cars are imports and all the low ones are fords and other domestics. I just dont want to give away my Tundra and then get a Lighting thats gonna be breaking down on me all the time. i would appriciate some imput from other L owners about any kind of problems they ahve had or if they know anything about the reliablility of and L thanx a lot

Get a Lightning, once you do you won`t go back, any vehicle you buy can give you problems, and the Lightning is no different it just depends on how hard you push it, if you plan your mods right and don`t try to push the limits of the engine you will be fine, if you want all out power then you will need a built block to handle the extra power. Ive had all the mods on my truck for over a year now and I havn`t had a single problem and im putting 400 hp to the ground, so if you plan your mods right and don`t try and push it to the limit then you will be ok.
