The new Lightning came in 1999 with the new and totally redesigned generation of F-150 trucks. This time, it was much meaner-looking, aggressive, and packed with much more firepower. Ford installed its 5.4-liter V8 with a supercharger, which was good for 360 hp at first and 380 hp later. Performance numbers were sublime, and the Lightning could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5 seconds and top 140 mph. Those figures were more suited to a Porsche 911 of the period than a regular pickup truck that could tow or carry stuff like other F-150s.
