In 1999, along with the new and redesigned generation of F-150 trucks came the new Lightning. This time, it was much meaner-looking, aggressive, and packed much more firepower. Ford installed its 5.4-liter V8 with a supercharger that was good for 360 HP at first and 380 HP later. This was much more than the previous model as well as any truck on the market at that moment.

The performance numbers were sublime since the Lightning could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in five seconds and top 140 mph. Those figures were more suited to a Porsche 911 of the period than to a regular pickup truck that could tow or carry cargo, just like other F-150s.
