1993 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning 2dr Regular Cab SB (5.8L 8cyl naturally aspired 4A)
This vehicle is not afraid to get up
and go. For this vehicle being 11yrs old
I would put it up to any new vehicle..
I would not sell it for less than 10000.
I can't remember having any major
problems with it.
I love it!

1994 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning 2dr Regular Cab SB (5.8L 8cyl naturally aspired 4A)
I will be honest with you, if you are in the market for a truck and don't care about gas mileage, this is the one for you. It not only has plenty of options for the year built, but it is very fun to drive. I never thought I'd say it, but I'll be sad when this one is gone. It handles better then most cars and has the horsepower and torque to kill your everyday import while hauling a … load of wood. Best money I have ever spent on a truck.
Very good looking and proforming truck

1994 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning 2dr Regular Cab SB (5.8L 8cyl naturally aspired 4A)
I purchased this truck when I was 17 and keep it as my baby in my driveway and drive it for fun. Very nice sporty interior, handling, performance, sound, and looks. Great rare truck for a collector. It gets looks everywhere.
The Almost Perfect Truck

1994 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning 2dr Regular Cab SB (5.8L 8cyl naturally aspired 4A)
The 94 Lightning is a collector, very seldom seen on the used truck market. This is one of the most fun to drive, stock pickups out there. The design is classic, the power and torque are a real blast. Easy engine modifications are no hassle for those who want a little more. Add a performance cam, open up the exhaust and hold on to your seat. The interior is very supportive and … comfortable. Sport bucket seats with adjustable lumbar supports and leg extensions make for one comfortable ride. Big front and rear sway bars and anti-slip keep the traction on the road. Heavy duty E40D transmission shifts smoothly. Only downside is the mpg. Two tanks make a fill up painful, step on the pedal and forget about it.
