2001 Ford F-150

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! We welcome any questions you have and encourage an inspection if you are serious.
