(I rarely check messages but always have my phone.)

First off, keep in mind that this ad was written for the "chassis dyno ignorant" so when you in the Craigslist ad that I've herein copied/pasted know that the 735 HP & 831 LB/FT are my estimations based off a 20% drivetrain loss and that the actual results were a starting Air:Fuel Ratio of 11.8:1 which then gradually decreased to 11.0:1 by 6000rpm, making 580.5 rwhp & 664.9 rwtq.
(I do this for the layperson whom believes that 580.5rwhp is the same as 580.5hp.)

For those not familiar with 'rwhp,':
This truck makes about 735 HORSEPOWER & 831 LB/FT TORQUE, is tuned for drivability (11.0 AFR is EXTREMELY safe), & gets UNBELIEVABLE gas mileage.

I have driven it ALMOST exclusively as a commuter on my 72-mile round trip to the office, 5 days/week since buying it 4 years ago;
So around 40K of my miles were at 70mph on Cruise Control, which averages 19.6mpg, whereas overall is usually between 16 & 17mpg.

It rides well; It does not have the replacement leaf springs that most of the 11-second Lightnings I've been around have, because I don't like the extreme bounciness you get from normal highway driving when those springs are on the trucks.

I'm selling it for $18k OBO in order to buy another low mileage Lightning & start over again
(This is #4.)
