I actually think it looks a little bit better than the 2 door version I never liked the Ram 2 door It's like the Harley Davidson F-150 (Lightning 4-door) now. Can't wait for the new 500 HP Lightning to strike.

well it makes more sense than Chevy's attempt since this one hasn't completely tanked yet.

yea i like the 2 door version better, the 4 door is more practical but it sacrifices the looks and weight i assume for a truck that is intended to be pure overkill and impracticality. they are trying to add something that doesnt belong with the nature of the truck. thats why the lightning is only 2 door, it is a no holds barred all out performance truck. its like a 4-door viper. dont really like it.....

I think this looks better than the 2 door original version. What a treat it would be to have it modified by hennessey. RAM SRT-10 Quad 1000TT
