SVT Lightning[edit]

The SVT Lightning is a sports/performance version of the F-150. released by Ford's SVT (Special Vehicle Team) division.

1999–2004[edit] Ford F-150 SVT Lightning

In 1999. after a three-year hiatus. Ford SVT unveiled a new Ford Lightning powered by a modular SOHC 16-valve 5. 4 L Triton engine producing 360 hp (268 kW; 365 PS) and 440 ft·lbf (600 N·m). with a factory-installed Eaton supercharger. The 4R100 automatic transmission was used. and the rear gear ratio was 3. 55:1. The Lightning featured 18" wheels and Goodyear Eagle F1 295/45ZR-18 tires. The suspension system. which lowers the truck one inch in front and two inches in the rear. was also modified from the standard F-150. It retained the front short-and long-arm system with coil springs and a 31 mm solid stabilizer bar along with the rear solid axle with five-leaf springs and a 23 mm solid stabilizer bar. Monroe shocks were used from 1999–2001 then replaced with Bilstein shocks from 2002–2004.

For the 2001 model year. the engine design was slightly altered to produce 380 horsepower (280 kW) @ 4. 50 rpm and 450 ft·lbf (610 N·m) @ 3. 50 rpm. Also. the previously leaky intercooler was redesigned. This problem was addressed as a recall in earlier models. A cast iron block was used instead of aluminum. These upgrades were critical in order to support the 8 psi (0. 55 bar) of boost delivered from the stock Eaton M112 roots supercharger. Another engine revision came in the 2003 Model Year when a weakness in the heads. the lack of sufficient threads for spark plugs. was addressed and fixed. although "piston slap". a mild knocking noise while the engine is cold. was still present. At the other end of the drivetrain. the final drive ratio was shortened to 3. 73:1 with a 9. 75 inch rear end in 2001. Also. in 2001 the drive shaft was increased in size to a 4. 5-inch (110 mm) aluminum unit. from the previous 3. 5-inch (89 mm) steel unit. The specially developed 295/45ZR-18 Goodyear Eagle F1-GS unidirectional tires were upgraded utilizing a new generation F1 GS rubber compound. With these engine and drivetrain revisions. Car and Driver magazine drove a Lightning from zero to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 5. 2 seconds. For 2003. the Lightning's cargo capacity was raised from 800 lb (360 kg) to 1. 50 lb (610 kg).

The second generation Lightning was initially offered in just Bright Red. Black. and White paint colors. The 2000 Model Year brought the addition of the Silver color to the lineup. In 2002. True Blue. a very dark blue. was offered. but replaced with a lighter Sonic Blue in 2003. The 2003 Model Year also saw the introduction of the Dark Shadow Gray color.

These trucks were manufactured at Ford's Canada Truck Facility in Oakville. Ontario until its closure. Special features specific to the Lightning included:[18]
