A second-generation 2000 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning is drawing steady interest as it heads toward the final days of an online auction, highlighting continued enthusiasm for Ford’s factory-built performance pickup. Located in Brockton, Massachusetts, the truck shows an indicated 82,300 miles and carries a high bid of $7,699 with five days remaining in the listing.
Produced from 1999 through 2004, the SVT Lightning was engineered by Ford’s Special Vehicle Team to deliver sports-car performance in a regular-cab, stepside pickup. Power comes from a supercharged 5.4-liter Triton V8 fitted with an intercooled Eaton M112 roots-type supercharger. Factory output was rated at 360 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque, sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed 4R100 automatic transmission and a limited-slip 9.75-inch rear axle with 3.55 gears.
The Lightning’s performance-focused hardware extended beyond the drivetrain. The truck was factory-lowered and equipped with model-specific ground effects, a performance suspension, side-exit exhaust, and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS. Eighteen-inch five-spoke aluminum wheels are fitted with 295/45 Toyo Proxes tires, with the seller noting approximately 80 percent tread remaining.
Finished in Silver, the truck is described as unmodified and retains its original SVT-specific components, including cooling systems for the supercharger, transmission, and engine oil. Interior details listed include supportive bench seating with cloth and leather upholstery, a six-way power driver seat, white-faced gauges including a 140-mph speedometer and boost gauge, and an AM/FM cassette stereo with an optional six-disc CD changer. The seller further describes the cabin as well preserved, with power accessories and cruise control contributing to everyday usability.
A clean CARFAX history report documents three owners with registrations in Tennessee and Massachusetts. Included with the sale are a bedliner and tonneau cover. Cosmetic flaws noted consist of a scratch and dent on the right rear along with paint chips on the rear bumper.
As interest continues to build, this SVT Lightning stands as a largely intact example of Ford’s early-2000s performance truck era, blending utility with factory-engineered muscle. See it here.
