Also distinguishing the interior from just another truck is two-tone upholstery. Black, weave-textured leather inserts are framed with gray cloth. Lightning's dashboard has the basic appearance of an ordinary F-150, except for the gauge cluster. The SVT instrument package features electroluminescent, white-faced gauges, and includes a supercharger boost gauge. Even though a supercharged animal is unleashed beneath the hood, all is civilized and comfortable within Lightning's cab.
Seats are firm, as is the suspension, but ride quality is high.
Ford credits monotube, gas-charged Bilstein shock absorbers at all four wheels with this extraordinary capability of absorbing irregularities without sacrificing handling.
