Well, the Quad Cab is already out, and there are no plans for an auto. Whoopdeedo, it comes in a stick, but it can't be used like a truck.

Why would I buy a performance truck to haul stuff around in? If the SRT-10 can't be used as a pickup, for the same 50k, I can buy a vette that outhandles, outbrakes, outaccelerates, outruns, and has a nicer interior, and it holds 2 people just like the Ram SRT-10 regular cab.

Yes a Suburban is a great towing vehicle, but the F-150 outtows it (the non-lightning F-150). The great thing about the Lightning is that I know quite a few people who have ones that are much faster than stock, tow their racecar to the track, AND THEN RUN THE LIGHTNING AND THE CAR. There's this chick in Houston who has a very fast '03 Cobra, and she has a Lightning (matching colors), and will tow the Cobra to the track with the Lightning and run both. You might be able to tow a go-kart with the Ram...
