Ford Lightning The Lightning is based on the short-wheelbase, standard cab, flareside, two-wheel drive version of the F-150; in other words, the littlest one. Under the hood goes a 5.4-liter SOHC V-8, suitably pumped up with a supercharger and intercooler, and cranking out a not-inconsiderable 380 horsepower at 4,750 rpm and 450 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,250 rpm.

All pickups have lousy traction in the snow unless you add a lot of weight in the bed. Further back is better, but somehow you have to prevent it from sliding around.

Winter tires are better than snow tires (especially on hard pack and ice), which are better than all-season tire.

Dont know what funny cig khooper smoked but his fact was totally irrelavant and to boot the srt has 120hp advantage weighing only 300 pounds more so naturally the lightning is at a disadvantge, but as far as the topic goes i have a 06' f-350 powerstroke and she's pretty bad in the snow soley due to the power to (lack of weight over rear axle) ratio, so considering the lighting is essentially a mustang with a bed on it i think it's ill advised to partake in such activities. good luck though
