The first Harley-Davidson F-150 debuted in 2000 and came equipped with a 5.4-liter V8 that could generate a respectable 260 horsepower. The vehicle featured several visual nods to Harley-Davidson, including orange pinstriping, added chrome, and exclusive badging. Performance was soon improved with the F-150 Lightning, which used the same engine but offered 360 horsepower as a two-door pickup, versus the Harley-Davidson four-door super crew cab. The design also offered better airflow to the engine.
To enthusiast’s delight, the 2002 Harley-Davidson F-150 came with a supercharged V8 that bumped up performance to 340 horsepower. Suddenly, instead of offering only visual modifications, this new special edition model included more muscle under the hood. To accentuate this added power, the 2002 Harley-Davidson F-150 came with dual orange pinstripes down the sides that transformed into flames near the rear of the truck. It also included unique badging, wheels, interior, and chrome accents. The supercharger was available in a number of models, with the 2008 version offering even more brawn at 450 horsepower. These models weren’t the only examples of the automaker’s engineering prowess; this list of the best engines ever put in a Ford truck will impress.
