This Ford F-150 SVT Lightning got away, but there are more like it here.

This 2001 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning is one of 6,381 produced for the model year and is finished in black over Medium Graphite cloth and Ebony leather. It is powered by a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 linked with a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes 18″ SVT five-spoke alloy wheels, a body-color tonneau cover, fog lights, a receiver hitch, an aftermarket exhaust system, a sliding rear window, a Clarion touchscreen stereo, air conditioning, and cruise control. The seller purchased the truck in 2012 and has since added approximately 12k of the 83k miles. This SVT Lightning is now offered with an accident-free Carfax report and a clean Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name.

The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 140-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5,250-rpm redline as well as gauges for oil pressure, boost pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 83k miles, approximately 12k of which were added under current ownership. The service engine light is currently illuminated.
