2001 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning

This one-owner 2001 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning is one of 6,381 produced for its model year and is powered by a supercharged 5.4L Triton V8 mated to a Ford 4R100 4-speed automatic transmission. Features include 18-inch alloy wheels, SVT seat covers, a spray-in bedliner, Bilstein shocks, a fiberglass bed cover, and a touchscreen Pioneer audio system. This Lightning is one of 1,581 made in Silver Metallic for 2001 and is available now with a clear title from the selling dealer.

The second-generation Ford SVT Lightning, a performance version of the F-150 on the 10th-generation F-series platform, was released in 1999 and sold until 2004. The body of this particular SVT Lightning is finished in Silver Metallic and features color-keyed mirror caps and door handles, a Lightning-specific front bumper with integrated driving lights, a ground effects kit with dual right-exit exhaust finishers, a Line-X bedliner, and a hard-shell bed cover.

The silver five-spoke 18” x 9.5” SVT wheels wear low-profile tires.

The interior features two-tone gray and black seat covers with "SVT Lightning" logos and a flip-down center armrest. The door panels are two-tone gray and black. The rest of the interior as well as the headliner is gray. Gray carpeting covers the floor. The steering column is topped with a black leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel with integrated buttons for cruise control. The gray dashboard houses an aftermarket Pioneer head unit with a touchscreen and remote control above the factory climate controls.

The cluster of white-dialed instruments includes a 140-mph speedometer, a 6K-rpm tachometer, and oil pressure, fuel level, boost pressure, and coolant temperature gauges. The digital odometer shows 105,645 miles.

The engine is a Lightning-specific 5.4L Triton V8 with forged internals, an aftermarket Airaid intake, and an Eaton Gen IV Supercharger with a water-to-air intercooler. This package is mated to a Ford 4R100 4-speed automatic transmission. Together they can take this truck from 0 to 60 in 5.2 seconds and to a 140 mph top speed. The front suspension consists of upper and lower A-arms, SVT-specific coil springs, Bilstein shocks, and a 31-mm stabilizer bar. The rear suspension includes staggered Bilstein shocks, leaf springs, and a 23-mm stabilizer bar. The 9.75-inch rear axle has a limited-slip differential with a 3:73:1 gear ratio.

The selling dealer charges a $350 documentation fee. They note that this truck used to belong to a member of the U.S. Navy and has been in Louisiana, Texas, Hawaii, Virginia, and Bahrain. The Carfax report contains an entry dated September of 2005 that shows this truck was "registered in a county declared a flood disaster area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency." Since then, the vehicle has been serviced several times. The most recent service in May of 2021 involved the replacement of brake pads and rotors, the intercooler pump, and more along with the brakes being serviced and the truck being aligned.
