Vehicle Description
Long before the current electrified Ford Lightning and even the
Baja-ready Raptor, the second-generation Ford F-150 Lightning
stormed onto the scene with the supercharged fury of 380 angry
stallions. This particular black beauty is a 2001 Ford F-150
Lightning SVT that has just 17,883 miles and is being sold by the
truck's original owner. With its clear taillights, SVT badging, and
guttural side-exit exhaust, this truck has attitude from any angle.
Inside, we find a clean Graphite-colored interior, a column-mounted
shifter, and SVT's trademarked white-faced gauges to remind you
that this isn't your father's pickup truck.
Under the hood is where this truck really begins to flex. A big
single-overhead cam supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 made with an iron
block and aluminum heads that puts down a massive 380 horsepower
and an even more impressive 450 pound-feet of torque. That big
power is funneled through a 4R100 four-speed automatic transmission
before heading out to a rear end with new-for-2001 shorter 3.73:1
gearing to help this L move out with authority. Forget all-terrain
tires; the Lightning is made to move. Big 18-inch rims are wrapped
in fat 295/45ZR-18 Goodyear Eagle F1 supercar tires. For some
perspective, Car and Driver tested a 2001 Lightning when it was new
and ran it from 0-60 mph in just 5.2 seconds, 0-100 mph in 12.8
seconds, and through the quarter mile in just 13.8 seconds at 104
mph. Not bad for a 4,702-pound truck!

with a stab of the gas pedal. Whether you're going to the track or
just to Home Depot, this Lighting redefines what hauling really
means. Call today!
