I see that you’ve never driven a 2001 F-150 SVT Lightning. I lived in California the first 60 years of my life and moved to Oregon in ‘90.

In case you didn’t know it, Oregon has many mountain roads. I love the two lane roads here.

The Lightning has 3.3 lock to lock steering, Bilstein shocks, limited-slip differential, 31mm solid stabilizer bar front, 23mm solid stabilizer bar rear.

Brakes: Front 12.1 in. (308mm) vented disc, twin-piston caliper, Rear 13.1 in. (334mm) vented disc, single-piston caliper. ABS Four-wheel, three-sensor system.

Wheels 18 x 9.5 in., five-spoke cast aluminum-alloy.
Tires Goodyear™ Eagle F1-GS™, 295/45ZR-18, unidirectional tread; 235/70R-16 spare tire.

Curb weight 4,670 lbs.

For that much weight, it handles great.
The next time you’re in the neighborhood, drop by and take it for a spin. ;)

Thanks! I drive a 2004 Honda Civic si and a 1985 Nissan 300zx. Drive over a mountain twice per day and love the combos of power, handling, and relative fuel economy. I commute 200 miles per day, on average, so 300+hp is out of the question for everything except my fun car which is a '71 Datsun 240 which we're dropping a V-8 into.

VROOOOMMM VROOOOOOMMMMM
