Overview
The 1995 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning was the last model year in the Lightning's first abbreviated trial run. Just a few of these came off the line; apparently, Ford was more eager to get back to the drawing board and revamp the concept than it was to produce this sporty performance truck.
Based on the market-dominating F-150 pickup, the 95 Ford F150 SVT Lightning featured some modifications to the basic F-150 chassis. Rigidity was increased in order to handle the big torque of the Lightning's custom muscle engine.
The real draw of the 1995 Ford F150 SVT Lightning was the power under its hood. A fuel-injected 5.8 liter Windsor V8 roared out a whopping 240 horsepower and 340 ft/lbf of torque. Aluminum played a key role in the 95 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning's quirky design, between the engine's hyperecteutic pistons and the aluminum driveshaft of its automatic transmission.
Speaking of automatic transmissions, some buyers were disappointed that the SVT Lightning wasn't available with a five-speed manual tranny; it does seem a bit odd, considering how many of the other modifications, like a lower ride and more rigid suspension, had been introduced in order to improve handling.
After the 1995 model year, the Lightning was retired until its splashy relaunch in 1999. So few were produced that they're almost impossible to find, but like most models in the Ford F-Series, the first-run Lightning has a core of diehard fans.

I have been driving my red Lightning everyday for 10 1/2 years and I still love hearing that sound everyday when i start it up. Parts are more difficult to come by than the newer Lightnings but are still widely available if your interested. Mine is dropped on a 3-5 Belltech kit with KMC stealth 20" wheels. I got 35 series tires in the front and 55 series tires in the back. No exhaust just straight pipe from the catalytic converter with two 3 inch pipes coming out the back. Hypertech power module with low temp thermostat and K&N intake. Clear corners with stealth chrome bulbs and diamond clear headlights with HID bulbs and euros in the back sittin above a smoothed out roll pan. There is also a huge monsta tachometer sittin on the dashboard with dark blue neons under the dashboard and a custom toggle switch i put in right next to the fog light switch. There is red neons behind the seats that come on with the truck. All the audio equipment in the truck is the Bazooka P.Miller line which includes two 12 inch woofers and a 1000 wat amp and also two 5 1/4" speakers in the doors with two 6 1/2" speakers behind the seats. I will never part ways with my truck and if you have one as well than you know just how I feel.

It's a Ford F150 and it's not much to look at. But, you better watch out at the red light... this truck will eat you up and spit you out. Powered by a high ouput 5.8L V8, this truck is faster than my 88' Mustang GT. It's a gas guzzler but who cares, I just want to smoke the rear tires every chance I can. Too bad a young girl ran a stop sign and hit me head-on, totaled the truck. I didn't even have it for 2 years :-(
