SVT HISTORY
The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was established in 1991. SVT was
commissioned to create factory-produced driver's cars and trucks;
vehicles that possess a balance between engine and chassis, roadholding
and a supple ride, refinement and performance capability. These qualities
are the core of the SVT product development philosophy.
To support SVT, Ford Motor Company created a dedicated product
development group, Ford Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE). The
nucleus of the Ford SVT and SVE is a small, cross-functional group of
engineers, product planners, and marketing people who meet on a
weekly basis to ensure SVT vehicles and their mission remain focused. In
addition to Ford SVE, SVT draws heavily on the talents and knowledge
of other driving enthusiasts at Ford who work in the key disciplines of
design, product development, manufacturing, and marketing. The heart
of the SVT philosophy is a deep commitment to skillful and enthusiastic
driving. The ultimate goal of everyone at SVT and SVE is to create
vehicles that speak to the needs and desires of the knowledgeable
driving enthusiast.
Introduction
2

Every SVT vehicle produced has been designed and developed with four
key virtues in mind: Performance, Substance, Exclusivity, and Value.
These hallmarks have driven the SVT Mustang Cobra since 1993, the
original SVT Lightning from 1993 to 1995, the SVT Contour introduced
in early 1997 as a 1998 model, and the 1999±2002 SVT F-150 Lightning.
In October 2001, Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) was renamed Special
Vehicle Team/Engineering (SVT/Engineering).

A WORD ABOUT WARRANTY COVERAGE
The F±150 Lightning carries the same warranty coverage as other Ford
F-150 models. This information is covered in its entirety in the Ford
Motor Company Warranty Guide.
The F±150 Lightning or any SVT can be serviced under warranty at any
Ford-Lincoln-Mercury dealer nationwide.
SVT does not recommend modifying or racing our vehicles, as they are
designed and built to be driven as delivered from the factory. The Ford
Motor Company Warranty Guide discusses the installation of aftermarket
parts and their effect on warranty coverage as follows:
Repairs are not reimbursable under warranty when:
²ªThe repairs are required because of abuse, misuse, racing, fire,
negligence, accident, modification or a natural disaster.º
²ªThe repairs are required due to installation of a non-Ford part.º
