8. Ford F-150 Lightning
In 1999 with the new, redesigned generation of F-150 trucks came the new Lightning. This time it was much meaner looking, aggressive, and packed more firepower. Ford installed its 5.4-liter V8 with a supercharger good for 360 HP at first and 380 HP later. This was much more than the previous model as well as much more than 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 suitable for a Porsche 911 than a regular pickup truck that could tow and carry cargo just like other F-150s.
