Used 2002 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning Consumer Reviews
Nicest truck ever made!
Bought this truck after I traded in my 2008 turbocharged Mazdaspeed 3 which was also a super fun car to drive and very fast. But this lightning is just a different kind of fun, different kind of power, and completely different kind of ride that I think everyone should experience at some point in their life.

Lightning Strikes...
The Lightning is a fun vehicle to drive. Powerful, good handling, excellent braking, an overall A+ in performance. The exterior design is set apart from the other F series trucks with ground effects & bumper treatments. The interior is well laid out with gray suede & black leather. When the supercharger spins up, with it's distinctive whine, & you are pushed back into the seat it makes you smile & sometimes even laugh out loud. The Lightning is just plain fun to drive, period. PS: for well under a $1000, you can get an aftermarket chip, pulley & filter combo that will put your HP well over 400, & torque 500+! This will drop your 1/4 mile times into the low-mid 12's. Yee Haa...
The Truck with Attitude
A grin everytime you drive it! If you get this truck, spend the extra $600 on a chip and filter. If you decide on a blower pulley (~$200), you'll need a pair of traction bars. ;) For the extra $1,500 (including the traction bars), it's not all that much $, considering you'll smoke a Vette, and have $15k left in your pocket!
Love My Ride
I have owned my new SVT Lightning for 1 month now, and I can't rave enough about it. IT is with out a doubt fastest funnest vehicle I have ever driven. It has more power than anyone would ever need or want. I am continually stopped to talk about my truck from complete strangers. It's ride is exceptionally smooth and it handles wonderfully for a large truck. What can I say, it's eye catcher when parked and a blur to the regular world when I drive by..
