The Ford SVT Lighting went out of production nearly
13 years ago but the high-performance truck hasn't been forgotten by the folks
at Pioneer Ford in Georgia.
In a Facebook post earlier this week, the dealership
unveiled its F-150 Lightning Tribute which is based on the single cab model
with a short bed. Despite its rather humble appearance, a closer inspection
reveals the truck has a side exiting exhaust and 22-inch five-spoke alloy
wheels. The dealership also installed a sport-tuned suspension and a handful
SVT and Lighting badges.
While the previous Lighting had a supercharged
5.4-liter V8 engine with 380 hp, the new model has a 5.0-liter V8 that
has been equipped with a Roush supercharger. This enables the truck to produce
650 hp which is 200 hp more than the F-150 Raptor. The Drive
reports the truck is rear-wheel drive and comes with its full factory warranty.
The model is also eligible for all the rebates and incentives as a normal
F-150.
This particular truck stickered at US$ 49,661 but it
has already been sold. The dealership has plans for additional models and one
will be based on the 2018 F-150 and feature a gray micro suede and leather
interior.
