From what I've seen only 1 stock, from the factory truck can beat up on a Lightning, and that is the dodge SR10. The 10 standing for 10 cylinders, out of the viper. These things are quick. Ford made a challenge to any auto maker to build a faster PRODUCTION truck and dodge answered. Now the rumor I've heard is that the next Lightning will take top honors back, the number I read was 650+hp and 550lb ft of torque. Oh and with 2 less cylinders.

beat up sounds so harsh. Indeed it will get to the mark faster but by less than many think. 2 more cylinders, 110hp extra?? claimed fastest truck by top end limiter(4mph higher gov) 20k$ extra and you only get a measly
3 tenths of a second faster out of that? Please, Get a custom tune from troyer and 400$ and change later your right there with him......atleast thats what I think

Since Ram SRT-10 doesn't exist anymore, Ford could take top honors back with any Lightning, even with 4.2L engine.

Given that the current "fastest truck in the world" is currently this:

169mph...

I doubt it.
