Default supercharge mine or buy a lightning or buy a mustang ?

Looking for opinions ... I am looking to get / build a new toy .

Option 1 - keep what i have and lift / supercharge it . It is a perfect shape / low mile / woman driven 09 F150 Super crew 5.4L . . For 10,000 I could make a great 4x4 .


Option 2 - Buy a rebuilt title F150 Lightning - 04 model and put on a smaller pulley and tune making a sweet little street truck and keep my truck just because I like it .

Option 3 - Sell my truck and throw cash and get a 2013 and up Mustang GT .

I have a company truck but it is a 2wd colorado 4 cyl so I would miss my 4X4 but would love more performance again . So these are my options ... what do you think ?

Your in New Brunswick? Depending where a 4x4 would sure beat a mustang in the winter.

Ya it would but it only really moves once a week now . It can be a pure toy . So i guess 1 vote for the supercharger . I really would like to do any of these three options so all votes help . I can still get around in winter with my little truck .

Anything but the lightning.

If I didn't like having a 4x4 I'd go the mustang route.

I am having a hard time parting with my truck ... and if I bought the lightning then I would have 4 vehicles in the yard which is kind of unnecessary but the boys have been running the 1/4 mile again and it gets the blood pumping . Decisions decisions .

Keep the 09 and supercharge. Powerful truck and capable 4 x 4, that's a year round toy and daily driver with room and utility.

Supercharge for sure! Just make sure to get a good fuel pup and injectors, tune for safety.
It's great to see people in M3's shake their head in disbelief. Plus you can actually tow/haul stuff around.
