The 2000 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning continued to hold its own as Ford's niche offering in the performance truck market. Racy styling and a lower, easy-handling ride enhanced its street-smart profile, as did its custom 18-inch wheels. The cool-looking truck came off the line in silver for the first time in the 2000 model year, in addition to the previous year's red, white, and black.
But the real appeal of the 2000 Ford F150 SVT Lightning was the power under its hood. Its supercharged 5.4 liter Triton V8 put out 360 horsepower and an impressive 440 ft/lbf of torque. Drivers and reviewers praised its quick acceleration and responsive handling.
The 2000 SVT Lightning didn't offer buyers a broad range of choices, though. Four colors, one configuration (a two-door standard cab short-bed setup), and automatic transmission only were what shipped out of Michigan. The lack of variety certainly didn't stop buyers from snapping up the limited production run, though; you won't find many of these on the resale market.
