Truck Suggestions

In terms of sport trucks, I recently did a shootout with four available trucks in Gran Turismo, so the Chevy SS Concept is not included. The deciding factors was Sports Soft tires, and I was racing El Capitan. Here are the results:

1 - Ford SVT Lightning 2:07.537
2 - Toyota Tacoma X-Runner 2:08.802
3 - Chevrolet SSR 2:12.492
4 - Dodge Ram Laramie... 2:14.???

The Dodge Ram result that I had... I accidentally deleted it from the Standings during my Arcade Mode test, so that's why I approximated the results. The only modification I made in Arcade Mode was that they all had Sports Soft tires. This is assuming that all machines are unmodified. I got a lot of respect for the Dodge Ram. It's such a mean-looking truck that means business. It may have been a better call to have the SRT-10 Ram rather than the Hemi (still good). The Ram just felt too heavy on the smooth-flowing El Capitan track. The SSR seemed more powerful and agile. Since it's a convertible, I believe you can race it in the Spider and Roadster race series. The Tacoma X-Runner was very agile. It's power could have been increased to maybe 270 or even 300, then this thing would be a sports car. Yeah, I'm not calling it a truck. It's very car like. The SVT Lightning had some good performance for a machine that I once thought was for the 1/4 mile. So based on this, I'd pick the Lightning if you're in this series.
 
I used a midly-tuned Ram in the races, I was driving with one hand half-paying attention to the races and won all the races no problem, it was a little too easy.

Now it's fully tuned, I love the thing. It's right around 700hp, and I used it in a lot of the american events against vipers and stuff, it does very well in those races as well. It's so funny to be whooping up on vipers and corvettes in a pickup truck. I love it! :)

It also certainly comes in handy for tons of aspec points, too. Now that I think about it, I'm going to use it on the special condition hall races, see how it does :)
