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 1999–2003 SVT F-150 Lightning.

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:
•“The repairs are required because of abuse, misuse, racing, fire,
negligence, accident, modification or a natural disaster.”
•“The repairs are required due to installation of a non-Ford part.”
