Ford first introduced the high-performance SVT Lightning version of the F-150 pickup in 1993 and produced it until 1995, then revived it in 1999 on the next generation of Ford F-150 with a 380-horsepower 5.4-liter V8 engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission. The Ford F-150 Lightning Rod Concept, shown here at the 2001 Chicago Auto Show, was based on that same generation of SVT Lightning, with smooth modified bodywork including a roof that was chopped by one inch, shorter overhangs, filled panels, and polished aluminum trim. Flame patterns based on Maori tattoos decorated the tonneau cover and dashboard, embossed into the headliner and leather-wrapped bucket seats, and carved into the treads of the 20-inch tires.
