Ford F-150 Lightning - Week 15

The Ford F-150 SVT Lightning is probably one of the ugliest trucks my boyfriend has set his mind to buying, but it is pretty fast. This truck was featured in the Fast & Furious movies. This truck was also made as a competitor for the Chevrolet Silverado 454SS. 

The Ford F-150 Lightning is a high performance version of the normal Ford F-150, which was produced by the Ford Special Vehical Team (SVT). These two automobiles share a lot of the same structures, but extensive modifications were made to the suspension and frame of the SVT Lightning in order to improve the handling of the car. 

The F-150 SVT Lightning is a front engine, RWD, two passenger, two door type of truck. It has a forth generation supercharged and imtercooled SOHC (single overhead cam, which generates a higher engine speed allowing it to have a greater revolution per minute, or rpm) 5.4L V8 engine, 4R100 four speed automatic transmission with lockup torque converter, 380 hp at 4,750 rpm, a torque ratio of 450 lbs/ft at 3,250 rpm, goes from 0 - 60 in 5.2, and has a top speed of 140 mph. This speedy truck also has a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs.
