In-game description[]
"A special pickup with impressive performance, exceeding that of sportscars."
In the United States, the pickup is the first car for many young men. Because of this, it has a history of use as a base car for many custom models, and it is not uncommon for them to receive high spec, race car-quality tuning.
Ford's offering to this popularity is the SVT Lightning. Based on the F-150 full-sized pickup, it features a V8 engine equipped with an intercooled supercharger. With a maximum output of of 355 HP this ordinary pickup has been given performance exceeding a sports car.
As the SVT Lightning is a genuine manufacturer tuning car available for purchase at regular Ford dealerships, and priced at less than $40,000 even with options, it recorded strong sales. The 2004 model was based on the 2001 specs, with its maximum output raised to 374 HP, and additional improvements to the exterior detailing, suspension settings, and drivetrain.
With regards to performance, 0-60 mph was dispatched in 5.2 seconds and 0-100 mph time was 13.6 seconds, the 1/4 mile was done in 13.7 seconds. Maximum speed in optimal conditions is 146 mph (235 km/h), which is astounding for a pickup burdened with its aerodynamic handicap.
From these results it might be thought that this truck is only fast in a straight-line, but it has recorded maximum turning Gs of 0.88 on the skid pad. Even in cornering, it goes way beyond the levels of a normal pickup truck.
