6. Ford F-150 Lightning
In 1999, with the new, redesigned generation of F-150 trucks came the new Lightning. This time around, it was much meaner and packed more firepower. Ford installed its 5.4-liter V8 with a supercharger that was good for 360 HP at first and 380 HP later. That was much more than the previous model and more powerful than any truck on the market at the moment.
Also, the performance numbers were sublime. The Lightning could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just five seconds and topped out at 140 mph. Incredibly, those figures were more suited to the Porsche 911 than a regular pickup truck that could tow a load just like any other F-150.
