Where are all the trucks?

I know this site is more about performance but some work trucks can run pretty quick. I have seem trucks run in the low 12's and then pull a 12,000 lbs trailer home. I had a 2002 F-250 and it was a great truck. It had a 4" lift, 37" BFG Mud-Terrains, an ARB Bull bumper w/ WARN 12,000lb winch. It also had a banks power package and would run with some pretty fast cars even on 37's (swapped gears to 4.10).

Where are all the trucks. Either street, off-road, or strip.

BTW: Sold the truck and got a 40th Anniversary Land Cruiser. With 37" Super Swaper TSL's and a 6" lift it will go anywhere the F-250 would. Just can;t tow as much but I have a diseal swap planned.

Father has a '04 turbo diesel Ram 3500 dually... it's stock for now, but I'm trying to get him to buy some upgrades for it... like filter, chip, exhaust... easily brings the thing to around 450hp and 900lb-ft of torque. He uses it to tow a horse trailer for my sister... I can only imagine the horses piled up at the back of the trailer if he puts his foot to the floor with 900lb-ft hehe. The thing is, I was told the tranny and axles can't take the torque very long though.

I've seen some real quick diesel trucks running high 10's on the quarter, even with lift kits and big off-road tires.

I'd really like a ride in a Ram SRT10 or modded Lightning. I was considering something like that, before gas prices went flying.
