The 30 Most Powerful Trucks on the Road

2001 to 2004 Ford SVT Lightning – 450 lb.-ft.

One of the most powerful trucks with a gas engine, the Ford models from 2001 to 2004 equipped with the Lightning’s engine delivers 450 pound-feet. Unfortunately, that amazing torque results in massive fuel consumption and somewhat of a reduction in truck usability. This made the Lightning powerful but not the most practical. You can still find it with its 5.4-liter supercharged Triton V8, towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, and payload capacity of 1,350 pounds. The truck offered all that power along with affordability given its specs, which helped its appeal somewhat.
