Vehicle Description
This 2001 Ford F-150 Lightning SVT represents a low-mileage and
exceptionally preserved example of the supercharged Lightning. So
as you look at the details, you see a vivid and speedy pickup
that's also a modern classic treated with the respect you want in a
collectible.
Averaging only about 1,300 miles annually means this one was more
about special trips than the daily grind. It also means you get a
well-preserved example, right down to the Bright Red paint. Not
only is it the factory application, but this aggressive color
retains the kind of gloss that lets people know this one has been
cherished. These have a timelessly awesome style with the single
cab and stepside bed that makes it the sports car of the truck
world. The Lightning even comes with exclusive cool features like
color-matched sport bumpers, a special body kit, integrated fog
lights, a blackout grille, lowered stance, side exhaust, and
special 18-inch SVT alloys. There are the right additions, like the
aerodynamic soft tonneau cover. You may want to look a little
closer at those "Ford" badges. Plus, for those times when you do
want to use this for real truck duty hauling, the rear hitch lets
you attach a trailer. That way this can remain looking beautiful
even if there's a job to do.
The preserved condition of the materials inside is another reminder
of how low the mileage is. Part of being the sports car of the
truck world means a proper sports seat. You have two-high back
buckets done with a special leather insert that reminds you this
came from the Special Vehicles Team. As true pickup, there are
versatile features, like how the armrest folds up for a middle
seat, and how you get more legroom and headroom than any sports car
you know. Being a driver's pickup also means nice features like a
power driver's seat, a tilt steering column, and a white-faced SVT
gauge package with large speedo and tach. While the mileage is low,
you can also see how this can be everyday comfortable with features
like air conditioning, power windows, power locks, cruise control,
power steering, dual airbags, AM/FM stereo w/cassette, an overhead
console, and sliding rear window.
Under the hood is the correct fuel-injected 5.4-liter V8. And
you'll notice this has something on top: an Eaton supercharger.
This is what made the Lightning so lightning-quick. This full
package is rated at 360 horsepower and 440 ft-lb of torque. Also,
ford didn't just drop in a high-performance motor and walk away.
They supported it correctly with features like a heavy-duty
four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive. The suspension was
lowered, and it has four-wheel disc brakes w/ABS. So we bet you
won't be able to resist adding some miles to the low odometer in
this all-around outstanding setup.
Because this is a collector's classic, the sale comes complete with
the original window sticker and a binder full of docs, including
the SVT certificate. This is a red-hot collectible, and so if you
want the best, you know this one can't slip away. Call now!
