I remember my dad taking me to the Ford dealership back in 2002. I was a Senior and about to graduate. He bought me the truck as a graduation gift. I seriously could not believe it! I love the Ford Lightning :)))
You should review a 1st gen Lightning if you can find one Fun fact: SVT was working on a 3rd gen F150 Lightning, but they found that they were unable to top the performance the 2nd gen had to offer, so they scrapped the project. As a result, the badass offroad machine known as the RAPTOR, was brought into existence.
I'm glad to see Kyle is active in the comments. It's something I rarely see on UA-cam, especially from a channel as successful as SaabKyle04! Keep up the good work!
Good vid Kyle. A friend that passed away has this truck. It is a badass rig. Everyone---please do not smoke. And if you do smoke quit ASAP! It's a slow painful way to die.
Hugh Jass You'll be happy to know that Ranger is gone. It was wrecked. I now drive an Expedition. Again, your name suits you. Also, you won't be saying that in a few years when you have smokers' lung. Lastly, as previously mentioned Your name suits you.
fml....its been idk how long since I've owned my Lightning and watching this showed me how to turn on the fog lights. pull out on the knob. damn, Im slow.
Wow, glad to see you getting back to some older vehicles and icons at that. I honestly haven't watched in awhile because i don't care about seeing new super cars and such all the time. Hope to see more man, keep up the great work! ~An original sub
I been looking for a decent lighting review for awhile and you topped it. These is my dream truck and i plan on getting it soon, 15 years old but it is still a beast of a truck.
Man my dad when he sold his car back in 2004 after he bought it for the house I live in he teared up and ever since I’ve been looking for a cheap one to buy and restore for him because they have gotten so expensive and my dad bought his for 8k back in the day from a buddy of his...back in the day he wanted one because of fast and furious
I know this is a different year thean the other lightning truck you did, but I like the idea of you doing vids again of the cars you did before when you didn't have that good of a camera and stuff...would be cool if you could revisit some of those cars (:
I live not far from that dealership and actually looked at this truck myself! Had no idea you did a review on it. Let me know next time your in hickory! It would be awesome to meet you.
The SVT Lightning is a cool truck! Based on what Ford is expected to show at the Detroit Auto Show, I see a new SVT Lightning as well as a new Raptor in the future! (:
I think my grandfather has one of these in red. I'm not entirely sure because I've only seen it once, and that was when I was little. But, it looked like this.
This is a cool truck for sure, but I would definitely take the Raptor over this one in terms of special/unique trucks. The only thing visually I don't like about the truck is the alteeza-style taillights. Other than that, it looks really friggin sweet! Great review as usual Kyle!
While I love the 83-88 Rangers and you reviewed one. I've always wondered if you could do a newer one. Hell you can use my 2011 if you want...last year for the Ranger in the U.S.
American pickup's V8 THAT sound :D One time I saw a 2014 F-150 6.2 l V8 (probably imported) near where I live in France but I couldn't hear it, but I went in Denver that summer and I saw some tuned pickup trucks and that was awesome :)
I miss that damn truck so much! One reason Ford built this truck is probably (uh, I said "probably") due to people complaining that the F-150 of this generation (which I like) was "too pretty to be a truck". So it seemed to make sense to turn an otherwise workaholic truck like the F-150 of this design (though not the first Lightning) into a tire melting muscle truck; and voila! The Lightning!
+Saabkyle04 can u plz do a review on a 2014/2015 LS 460L fully loaded (executive seating package and rear seat entertainment system) . I really wanna see that . Your videos are awesome btw . Keep up da good work 😄
+Tyler Eden that's a close 2nd, the srt 10 is sick as hell too but I think is too impractical for daily driving, with the Lightning I think I can manage to do it
can you please make an in depth review on the new 2015 Dodge Charger R/T or HellCat. I was considering buying one so I would like to know all of the information. Thanks and Happy Holidays!
I always liked the lightning and think it's a great-looking truck. That is, except for the horrid "ricey" Altezza-style tail lights. What was Ford thinking?
Diego0123005 I never did test drives often. Doing these videos at dealerships prevents that 95% of the time. I've done a number of press cars and have had a few great opportunities, but it has never been a focus of the videos. It should be understood that these cars are for sale, can't just drive them all over the place.
I remember my dad taking me to the Ford dealership back in 2002. I was a Senior and about to graduate. He bought me the truck as a graduation gift. I seriously could not believe it! I love the Ford Lightning :)))
S Zuniga what happened to it
It's a freaking supercharger in it
S Zuniga That was the same thing feeling for me
Awesome bro!
things that didn’t happen for $100
Still a badass truck after 16 years.
Hell yeah
After 23 years
i would take the SVT lightning over a mustang to be honest.
it's more unique
Too afraid to hit people ha wise man
Same. Its more rare, practical, sounds as good and not many people will notice it - until you put your foot down
Shitstaing vs Lightning?
Wow...
Same here wanted a stang but their such a common car Went lightning instead lol
Wow this 15 yo truck is in such good condition that it looks like a brand new truck
Ikr! Plus it only has like 14,000 miles on it! That's amazing for a 2001!
From dont u mean 144k....
Excuse my auto correct Ttom
autocorrect gotta love it but no it has 14494.8 miles on it. The dot is hard to see but it's there
Ttomisabeast1581967 LOl yea i saw it so yea thats the best milage on a 01 ive EVER Seen
You should review a 1st gen Lightning if you can find one
Fun fact: SVT was working on a 3rd gen F150 Lightning, but they found that they were unable to top the performance the 2nd gen had to offer, so they scrapped the project. As a result, the badass offroad machine known as the RAPTOR, was brought into existence.
Then the 2014 exclusive fx4 tremor was added.
They Came Out With The Ford F150 Saleen S331 being a next gen lightning
bigpoppahandle 00 good point, sad that I never got to see one up close and personal. Good thing forza 3 had it
I'm glad to see Kyle is active in the comments. It's something I rarely see on UA-cam, especially from a channel as successful as SaabKyle04! Keep up the good work!
Love my F-150. Its got 314,000 miles but still runs like a champ
NICE!! I bought a new SVT Lightning in 2003. And I still have it today. The truck only has 37,774 miles.
Good vid Kyle.
A friend that passed away has this truck. It is a badass rig.
Everyone---please do not smoke. And if you do smoke quit ASAP! It's a slow painful way to die.
Hugh Jass Don't tell him to shut up, his friend died from smoking, and he's trying to give good advice. Also, nice name. It *REALLY* suits you.
Hugh Jass You'll be happy to know that Ranger is gone. It was wrecked. I now drive an Expedition. Again, your name suits you. Also, you won't be saying that in a few years when you have smokers' lung. Lastly, as previously mentioned Your name suits you.
Hugh Jass Shut up troll. You probably drive a Prius.
fml....its been idk how long since I've owned my Lightning and watching this showed me how to turn on the fog lights. pull out on the knob. damn, Im slow.
Your a lucky man, say hi to her for me.
@@themilkman4496
😆
Your reply is priceless
Thanks for doing this video this is one of my all time favorite vechiles it's nice to see people still get excited over one
Wow, glad to see you getting back to some older vehicles and icons at that. I honestly haven't watched in awhile because i don't care about seeing new super cars and such all the time. Hope to see more man, keep up the great work!

0:00 That startup sound is just so badass :)
i don't think i have ever came across such a badass car channel. subbed
What a fascinating truck! This is fantastic review, Saabkyle.
One of my all time favorite trucks, I wish Ford would make this again.
Oh boy youre not ready for the news
@@hectorlucero9158 hahaha yeah this comment didn’t age well 😂 rip to when cars were actually cool
Welp, they did and still are. One problem tho, it’s 100% electric.😔
The closest thing to a og lightning is to build one
Another lightning tour? awesome!!! I love these things
Masterpiece ever until now 2023.
Am I the only one that thinks the bed cover makes the truck look weird.
It doesn't do it any favors. Looks like it belongs on grandpappys truck
It looks good love Ford trucks old & new!
I took my cover off mine when I got it
That supercharger sounds awesome.
Solid review. I've come to enjoy your reviews, keep up the good work!
haha :D in Fast and Furious, parked in front of the "Racers Edge" driven by Brian
just it was red
I bet u learn it off thedudeinblue😂😂
Isaac Kar Jian Or maybe he did research and, I don't know, *saw the movie.*
shut up. This is vehicle
Why all the hate on this car? Its nice to see Kyle review a older car
I love the start up sound😎
I'm officially in love with this beauty, now to save up and hope for the best.
you just gotta love that super charger wine😍😍❤❤
Your style of automotive review somewhat reminds me of the "Autovista" on Forza Motorsport 4. Very well put together video!
I love this truck, very frightening to drive at high speeds due to ar resistance but what a thrill!
I'm actually impressed with the sound of the truck! Very mean sounding supercharger.
This truck was so hot when it first came out. The blue is the one to get !
Gotta love that V8 Ford startup sound
Great review as always Kyle. Love the Lightning's.
This Truck was so awesome back in the day
Great video! That truck is awesome! I wish ford would bring it back! You should do one of a 1992 Chevy Silverado 454SS
I always like those ford trucks so well built .
I love that truck because of that 5.4L v8 w/supercharger😍😍😍
Man my dad when he sold his car back in 2004 after he bought it for the house I live in he teared up and ever since I’ve been looking for a cheap one to buy and restore for him because they have gotten so expensive and my dad bought his for 8k back in the day from a buddy of his...back in the day he wanted one because of fast and furious
Love these trucks

I always, *Always* wanted to drive one. What a beautifully stunning truck ❤️
If I buy a truck?? This is the right one Kyle.
Beautiful truck I want one
Trev's tLog not a beautiful truck
The SVT Lightning is a cool truck! Based on what Ford is expected to show at the Detroit Auto Show, I see a new SVT Lightning as well as a new Raptor in the future! (:
I remember Jeremy Clarkson's review of this car haha.
Oh my god YES!
well trucks confuse Europeans.
Sanic because they suck
***** Well no, that's just ignorant dude.
If all trucks sucked, why did 750,000 F150s sell in 2013 alone.
Sanic because people who don't know anything better, buy them?
Excellent review but would like to see another dealership startup video if possible.
That's one beautiful truck!
Great review. You should review the 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG in the future. It's a great car, just bought one.
Would love to see a new version of this coming out along with the new Raptor... Maybe some day ):
Such a badass truck i want one so badly
Brian's Car :(
O.M.F.G i loved that sound !!! I have to clean my screen !!
Thank you for the vid :D
best sounding car yet
These trucks are extremely fun. I've been around a few since they've come out. People need to look past the perceived drawbacks to the idea.
Such a badass truck but the taillights are ugly
Abel R They came as standard, but I'm sure you can replace it with the same style red lenses offered in the older SVT and other flare/style side F150s
can't believe those pieces of shit are stock
***** they look soo aftermarket lol
I thought they were aftermarket! But I guess not wow... lol
And its ugly that you call it a truck... Its a pickup, smart arse
Excellent video , thank you.
I think my grandfather has one of these in red. I'm not entirely sure because I've only seen it once, and that was when I was little. But, it looked like this.
Awesome 👍👍 2001 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning review.
I wish Ford and GM still made a sport truck. Like the lightning and the 454 SS. But I can see why they stopped though. Nice video by the way!
What about F150 SVT Raptor ?
they made a Ford F150 Tremor, its badass but really expensive
Back when trucks were simple as they should be!
NICE 2001 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning Start Up, Borla Exhaust, and In Depth Review
every video u make is cool
This is a cool truck for sure, but I would definitely take the Raptor over this one in terms of special/unique trucks. The only thing visually I don't like about the truck is the alteeza-style taillights. Other than that, it looks really friggin sweet! Great review as usual Kyle!
Sounds great!
This man sounds science
That dealership has some nice cars.
Beautiful machine, reminds me of Gran Turismo 4.
While I love the 83-88 Rangers and you reviewed one. I've always wondered if you could do a newer one. Hell you can use my 2011 if you want...last year for the Ranger in the U.S.
Beautiful one❤
How's the sound system? How many speakers and how easy is it to install an aftermarket subwoofer. Also where is a good place to do so?
American pickup's V8 THAT sound :D One time I saw a 2014 F-150 6.2 l V8 (probably imported) near where I live in France but I couldn't hear it, but I went in Denver that summer and I saw some tuned pickup trucks and that was awesome :)
What a sleeper truck
Looks real nice!
please do a 04 SVT Cobra lol
So 12 city 15 highway is bad mpg? Also I’m interested in one to drive to school and back and church and back in a town of 6,000
I miss that damn truck so much! One reason Ford built this truck is probably (uh, I said "probably") due to people complaining that the F-150 of this generation (which I like) was "too pretty to be a truck".

the only ford truck ill ever want to buy.
I heard you can punch thru the dashboard
+sim61642 awesome engine though
+sim61642 yes in this year
U DA MAN KYLE!
Kyle give 60fps a shot... I think the reviews would be even better.... Not saying that these don't look awesome... ;) This truck is sweet!
YAAAYYYYYY !!!!!! THANKS KYLE !!!!!! :D
+Saabkyle04 can u plz do a review on a 2014/2015 LS 460L fully loaded (executive seating package and rear seat entertainment system) . I really wanna see that . Your videos are awesome btw . Keep up da good work 😄
So beautiful!!!
Very nice pickup
I literally had no idea these things were supercharged until he revved it.
DO a video of both the scion tc's!! side by side and what not
Hey Kyle! Can you review the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat? That would be awesome!
This is the sickest truck ever made. The
Ram srt10 in my opinion
+Tyler Eden that's a close 2nd, the srt 10 is sick as hell too but I think is too impractical for daily driving, with the Lightning I think I can manage to do it
Kyle can you do another video for the new 2015 dodge challengers
can you please make an in depth review on the new 2015 Dodge Charger R/T or HellCat. I was considering buying one so I would like to know all of the information. Thanks and Happy Holidays!
Is there any space for speakers behind the seats ? ( if wanted to add some )
I always liked the lightning and think it's a great-looking truck. That is, except for the horrid "ricey" Altezza-style tail lights. What was Ford thinking?
May I ask why you don't do test drives as often anymore?
Diego0123005 I never did test drives often. Doing these videos at dealerships prevents that 95% of the time. I've done a number of press cars and have had a few great opportunities, but it has never been a focus of the videos. It should be understood that these cars are for sale, can't just drive them all over the place.
I want more used cars and unique versions of them.
Gon Rosales I wish more people watched them when I upload them, I always have variety
Please do a review of a 2004 g35 sedan
can you review the Pontiac Firebird Trans am collectors edition that they have?
Revving right after startup? A tear came to my eye. Es no bueno.
Supercharger noises. Urgh. So awesome!!!
kyle please make some videos of the new bmws like the new x5 and do the new 750
Please make a video with a 2015 honda crv touring.
