2004 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning

Description

This 2004 Ford F-150 Lightning SVT represents a one-owner, low-mileage, and exceptionally preserved example of the supercharged Lightning. It's even still on its original tires! So as you look at the details, you see a great modern classic that has been treated as a collectable since day one.

Averaging less than 750 miles annually means this one only left the garage for special occasions. It also means you get a well-preserved example, right down to the Oxford White paint. The owner was fastidious. He proudly says this has never been in the rain or even spent a night away from his garage while under his care. That's true devotion, and we can understand why. 2004 was the final year for these supercharged Lightnings. They are believed to have the lowest production number of the series, and white was the rarest color. These have a timelessly awesome style with the single cab and stepside bed that makes it sports car of the truck world. The Lightning even comes with exclusive cool features like color-matched sport bumpers, a special body kit, integrated fog lights, blackout grille, a lowered stance, side exhaust, and special 18-inch SVT alloys. There are the right additions like the bug guard up front and the bed is fully protected with a liner and tonneau cover. It's a total package that all comes together to make this the shining white knight of the performance truck world.

The immaculate condition inside is another reminder of how low the mileage is. The interior got a big upgrade over the standard F-150, and it starts with the special seats. These are individual bucket-style with cool black leather inserts and SVT logos embossed in the back. Yours even power adjusts to the ideal driving position. And whenever you need to carry a third person, the center armrest folds up for the handy jump seat. This is loaded with all the best features, like air conditioning, power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt steering column, dual airbags, and the desirable sliding rear window. This even has the factory-optioned AM/FM stereo with in-dash six-disc changer. The white-faced SVT gauge package has a speedometer that reads to 140 mph, and it's rumored that Ford even got more than that out on its test track!

Under the hood is the fuel-injected 5.4-liter V8. And you'll notice this has something on top: an Eaton supercharger. This is what made the Lightnings so lightning-quick. This is the original setup, and don't forget that the later years had extra power. This full package is rated at 380 horsepower and 450 ft-lb of torque. Ford didn't just drop in a high-performance motor and walk away. They supported it correctly with features like a heavy duty four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive. Plus, there's an aluminum driveshaft and a limited-slip rear end with 3.73 gears. The suspension was lowered, Bilstein shocks were added, and it has four-wheel disc brakes w/ABS. So we bet you won't be able to resist adding some miles to the low odometer in this all-around outstanding setup.

This is such an awesomely preserved pickup tand it comes with all the right paperwork to document an important classic like this. It includes the original window sticker, special SVT letter, original warranty card, owner's manual packet, and more. This is a true collectible, and so if you want the best, you know this one can't slip away. Call now!
