Ford F-150 SVT Lightning and Ram SRT-10: What They're Worth Today

Back in the 2000s, the Ford F-150 SVT Lightning and Ram SRT-10 were the performance pickups to beat, each briefly holding the title of world's fastest truck. The Lightning set a Guinness-verified top speed of 147.71 mph in 2003, but the SRT-10 took the crown a year later with a 154.58 mph run.

Even now, the SRT-10 still leads in top speed, while modern pickups often struggle to exceed 130 mph due to weight, tires, and driveshaft design. That lasting appeal shows in resale values. According to Hagerty, used Lightnings range from $19,600 to $62,300, with top-condition examples fetching the most.

For a 2004 model, that's $14,230 below or $28,470 above the original $33,830 MSRP. Ram SRT-10s typically sell for $20,700 to $67,700, compared to the 2004's $45,850 starting price, meaning you could pay $25,150 less or up to $21,850 more.

Real-world listings align closely with those estimates. On Edmunds, Lightnings start at $21,999 for a 150,000-mile truck and go up to $79,990 for low-mileage, excellent-condition units. CarGurus lists them from over $31,000 to $63,587, with nearly all having under 100,000 miles.

For the SRT-10, Edmunds has a 161,000-mile example at $22,950, while cleaner trucks reach $52,990. CarGurus offers SRT-10s between $24,000 and $62,500.
