2001 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning

Description

Introduced for the 1999 model year, the second-generation SVT Lightning represented Ford’s factory-engineered answer to the growing sport truck segment, combining the everyday utility of the F-150 with performance capabilities developed by the Special Vehicle Team (SVT). Featuring aggressive styling, a lowered suspension, and a supercharged V8 powerplant, the Lightning delivered muscle-car performance in a pickup package, quickly making it one of the most recognizable performance trucks of its era.

This 2001 Ford F-150 SVT Lighting is powered by a 5.4L Triton V8 equipped with an Eaton M112 roots-type supercharger and paired with a four-speed 4R100 automatic transmission driving the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential. Finished in Ebony over a Medium Graphite interior, this Lightning features a Hotchkis lowering kit paired with aftermarket shocks and a center console modified from an F-150 Harley Davidson. According to the seller, this Lightning benefits from a wide range of general service work as outlined below.

This 2001 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning is now offered with a CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean Alabama title in the seller’s name.

From the seller: “The previous owner retained the truck from 2008 until 2024, and while it was driven sparingly in later years, it appears to have been well cared for throughout its life. After I purchased it, I addressed a number of deferred mechanical items through extensive service and repairs performed by a Ford dealership as well as additional work completed on my own. I have documentation for the repairs and parts installed, along with the original owner's literature, factory supplements, and other supporting records.”
