2001 Ford F150 Lightning

GR Auto Gallery of Traverse City is pleased to present this well kept southern
2001 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning for your consideration. Ford teamed up with
their Special Vehicle Team in 1993 to come up with a good looking, powerful
single cab truck to compete with the then popular Chevrolet 454SS. With goals
to enhance the sporty, personal use image that became popular, they created
the SVT Lightning and started it off with a modest 5.8L boasting a solid 240 hp
but also added many great modifications to the suspension and frame to
improve the handling. By 1995 they sold over ten thousand models and
although the market was there, they decided to discontinue the Lightning until
its second unveiling in 1999. When they reintroduced this beast of a truck, they
listened very closely to the consumers demands for more power and changed
out the engine choice with a supercharged, 360 hp 5.4L V8 to put all the
naysayers to rest. With an all new design and a beefed up gearbox borrowed
from their Super Duty lineup, the legend grew from then on until their final
build out in 2004.
This well preserved example of the 2001 Ford SVT F-150 Lightning shows very
well and still has mileage well under a 100k! With all the styling in the world,
this model has the Bright Red exterior paired well with its Graphite Gray interior
and although this is still a truck, it has the lines of a race car! The interior hosts
the SVT leather interior, 6-way power driver seat, 6-disc CD/AM/FM media

center with premium sound and a sliding rear window. With great upgrades to
the drivability of this vehicle, Ford made standard a host of options including
SVT power 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS, SVT springs and shocks, SVT
supercharger with intercooler and nice touches like cruise control, remote
keyless entry and the SVT dual exhaust system. With all the great standard
features, styling this is a great find for anyone who can appreciate fast trucks in
great condition! Also included in the sale are all original manuals and books and
original brochures!
