The Ford F-150 Lightning Rod was launched at the 2001 Chicago Auto Show. Its appearance is inspired by the resurgence of rock-and-roll and the current fascination with body art. The Lightning Rod is an F-150 pick-up truck - the number-one-selling full-size pick-up for the past 2 decades - which has been lowered and stretched.

The roof has been chopped one-inch, the overhangs have been shortened, and the exterior body panels have been cleaned up and finished in a cherry red metallic paint giving the Lightning Rod a sleek, hot-rod, performance look. The conventional headlamps and taillamps have been replaced with twin horizontal neon tubes. A deeply recessed custom aluminum grille features horizontal bars and is reminiscent of the popular muscle cars of the 1960s.
