It allows your truck to perform off-road.
I don't see a Syclone/Typhoon going off road. On purpose. :lol:
the body kit and low ride height negate that. Besides, awd isn't a truck quality, option 4wd is. Here's an off road tip, use 2wd to get stuck and 4wd to get out, because if you're stuck in 4wd, its to late...
Both true, but AWD is more "trucky" than 2wd.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter. The Sy was a stoplight KILLER because of its AWD. L obviously has more out the back door and more potential.
This this this! And I'd expect nothing less. The Lightning was a monster F-150, which itself is already a capable truck, while the Syclone is a hopped up S10, which has always been more suited for hardware store runs than Home Depot visits.
I'm personally not a fan of these so called sport trucks anyway, but I don't yet need one either. Just enjoy what you drive and give no cares to the rest of the world and their thoughts. :beer:
The Syphoon was a T Type Buick in an S10 with awd...

Not quite, 4.3 vs 3.8, a little different but same idea.
Is 6-7 years a lot though? Nowadays it doesn't seem much but back then the time comparison between both trucks seems more like 10-15 years if you ask me.
At that point in time yes. Think about where the Fbody went during that same time period.
Ask the owner of an 04 Mustang GT how big of a deal 7 years is...
Kicking Mustang ass from 1993-2003
You mean 93-02
Except Ford was rolling in cash from sales and Chevy was calling it quits.
If they are looking at it in the same way I am, they'd answer in the negative to your question.
The GMC just didn't age well and even at a slight six years when the Ford was released, it felt ancient in so many different aspects not even including engine wise. In 2005 or 2006, the Ford didn't feel the same way, to me, as the GMC did in the same period of time.
So the fact that it was as quick as a far more "modern" truck is that much more impressive.
You and you alone make the determination of what impresses you. Whatever that may be, it isn't my concern. I just think the truck always looked old and didn't age gracefully like many other vehicles on the road.
lol the point was never the LOOKS of the two trucks.
It's really apples to oranges here....
The
Chevy 454ss
Gen 1 Lightning
Dodge Ram SS/T
Dodge Dakota R/T
Gen 2 Lightning
Are the sport truck Class.
I really don't know what class you'd put the Syphoon in.... It's too small and too low to do anything a truck does... Idk. Id put it with the WRX... Shit like that. It's a neat little vehicle. But it's not a truck in my opinion.
And even IF... It's a truck... It's no comparison to the Gen 2 Lightning.
And a lets get real... Minor boltons.... My Gen1 will walk it's ass.
It's really not that impressive.... In my opinion.
