I then asked him what his favorite car to drive and was completely surprised by his answer: he loves to drive his Ford Lightning more than anything else. I love this guy! He thinks that the Special Vehicle Team designed sporty performance version of the F-150 pick up is his favorite drive.

The Lightning was featured as Brian O’Connor’s ride in The Fast and The Furious and was also in the video game NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup. It has a supercharged Triton V8 and can haul butt and a boat at the same time.

These powerhouses were only made from 1999 to 2004 and like the rest of the F-150 family, maintain their value pretty darn well. A 2004 model with 60,000 miles on it can be had from $16-18,000.00. Not a bad price at all considering what you are getting!
