i was thinkin of getting a 2000 lightning was kind of wondering what you guys thought about the truck as a good tow vehicle every one in a while, maybe towing a mustang and a trailer or a boat, do you think the tranny will last??

ive towed a car hauler with the mach on it and my dads boat many of times. never had a problem. the only thing i didnt like is the swb and single cab for towing kinda sucks compared to a crewcab f150.

Total trailer weight about 6500-7000 lbs. Only mods to truck were rear airbags and a Class 4 hitch. Towed it 2100 miles and the only issues I had were 30mph+ headwinds or hills.

Keep it out of overdrive. It'll do fine.
