@@natehahn85 no it wasn't. It was actually pretty quick for it's time especially for a truck at the time. It was not too far behind a mustang GT. That's not even the point. The point is it was called the lightning nearly a decade before it came with a supercharger so a supercharger does not make it a lightning. Also a coyote is a powerful engine already. It doesn't need 500 hp to be a fast or fun truck.
The leather is very good quality and done well by TopKing out of Kansas City, that middle seat does look a little loose because it was laid down before recording that clip.
For reals man it's badass that they did this as a spiritual successor of the ford lightning! And I didn't even know about this truck I'm just finding out right now. It's a good looking truck and that sound is badass!
Cause its a full base model truck. You can buy the truck and spend 3k and get everything that have and not have their gfx package but a ford one that looks good and 4x4 and leather and a supercharger with tuning for less then what they ask for this.
Kristen Robb how did you get a warranty with the Whipple? I’m picking mine up on Saturday of this week and I had to sign papers stating that there was no warranty because I bought the Whipple instead of the Roush.
What I like about it is that it’s basically an “old” truck now, lower to the ground, simple, clean. That’s what most real truck owners are looking for.
I just ordered mine with a Whipple and in red without the LMST stickers. I also did not order the leather but did go with 4x4. Will have 3:73’s and be ready in 3 weeks. I will definitely be posting videos. Can’t wait!
Two seater, regular cab with a console and a floor shift.In a nicer package. An XLT or a Lariat. There isn't anything wrong with a nice truck that goes like hell.
You can't even get bare bones F150 for less than $29k. This one is a $37k truck (according to their window sticker) with AT LEAST 10 grand of parts, let alone dealer labor. I can't believe they sell it without the extended gallons fuel tank though....it's going to need it.
The supercharger is around $10k alone. I still agree its a bit too expensive but you get a sick ass truck that will run 11's with a full warranty. Also you cannot put a bigger fuel tank in a rcsb. I have a 17 black rcsb sport xl v8 and it gets 12.4mpg lifetime average 😕 so ya... i wish it had a bigger tank but no can do.
This is the truck that Ford should be building. I agree that LMST sticker needs to go, or at least redesigned. Better yet, make it a small badge under the F150 badge. This package looks great on the single cab, I wonder if they would also put it on a super or crew cab?
I have a Ram Express 5.7 Hemi ,single cab 4x4 short bed.....I will only buy single cab pickups.....gives you more horse per pound. And they look better.
I’ve been a ford guy since I started driving, but my 2017 is a POS! Drove a 2018 Toyota Tundra the other day and wow! That’s a nice truck, thinking about of selling my Ford for a Toyota. A few years ago that that statement would have been unheard of from me.
Cool truck but idk about comparing to a lightning. The lightning's had upgraded suede interior, not cheap xl cloth, a upgraded powertrain sc/hd trans although the 5.0 and 10speed are better, side skirts or ground effects, not just side exhaust diy style and most importantly, 18" wheels for performance, not 22s.
I kinda agree. In 99-03 the lightning was the fastest, quickest and BEST handling vehicle Ford made PERIOD. Hell, even the 1st gen used the f250 frame because the f150 just flexed too much and it did not handle like they wanted. Lowering this will not make it a lightning. For what they could do I think they did fantastic job.
Greg Dorfman I would have to disagree with it being the fastest, quickest, and best handling vehicle ford made as it would be the best truck they made but the ford GT and Shelby’s would blow the lightning out the water
@@smbuckeye my mistake I was not clear. Of all the vehicels FORD produced (not including aftermarket cars like saleen) between 99-03 the lighting was the quickest, fastest and best handling. As of 04 the new cobra was introduced along with the Ford GT.
Say what you want but the truck looks great. If I was a Ford exec I’d be scratching my chin right about now 🤔. Can you imagine if Ford did something similar from the factory BUT with a slightly modified & tuned 7.3l beast they just came out with for their heavy duty trucks?? I think that would be a winning combo. I’d image it would fit without any issues.
Given inflation the lightening cost about the same back then and had waaaay less power. Also to the people griping about fuel capacity and economy. You don't buy a truck like this and worry about fuel economy.
Yeah this thing will 1 wheel peel for days. When u get the electric locker you get an open diff when its off. I have it, its awful. The locker shuts off at 17mph btw.
Why not just get a single cab XL with the STX package and then add everything to it ie the center console, 8in screen, locking dif, running boards, blinker mirrors, tonneau cover, rear sensors, etc then simply put on those rims, the super charger, and the drop kit. IMO would blow that one away easy.
I don't think there is an STX package. But you cannot get an XLT because you won't be able to get the sport appearance package with the 5.0 and regular cab
Oh absolutely. But WE need to voice our opinions to the big 3......and FAST. GM does not offer a regular cab SHORT bed in the U.S. for 2019, but are available in Mexico. Ive heard Ram has done the same as well....not sure on Ford.
They look way better than the new Silverado. I like trucks in general. I'm not completely bias, I like Chevy and Ford. More so Chevy, but man they ruined the Silverdo right now
@@JosephNnbs I'll be honest, I said the same damn thing and refused to even drive one. I was set on buying the coyote F150 and that only. I drove an Ecoboost just to humor and reassure myself the V8 was what I wanted. I ended up buying the EcoBoost.
Wow all the haters. Ignore them. Good for your dealership for offering something unique, cool and offering to get it in other colors, which will really be unique.
Thank you, I normally don't get this many comments about our LM Series truck lineup. We try to provide something unique. Glad to hear some people appreciate it.
That’s one bad ass tribute! Love the rims and the subtle upgrades to the body which makes this a clean look. Wondering if this will be available in Canada through the dealer network.
I like it! I dont usually favor the lower trucks cuz I know I would rip that bumper off the first curb i ran over or parking block i hit lol But one suggestion would be a hard top cover for the bed I think would make it bad ass for that style! Privacy windows and tint are an excellent feature i approve for sure
stickloaf yes but also the 1st lighting had oem suspension improvements, not just lowered. They actually handled decent. Check out the old motor week reviews
You should install the leather steering wheel as part of the package it’s only $165.00. It would be a great addition. One of the first things I bought for my XLT
Thanks but I'll keep my heavily modified '03 750hp Lightning that'll still be worth more than this new one in 10 years. I hope they upgraded the trans at least some.
I thought i had stumbled into a gem that i somehow missed as the ford line up. However wtf. Really, really wtf? I am going to take some Ambien and try to forget I saw this.
Chrome the wheels. delete stickers decals badging and spoiler. Hood isn't necessary unless it saves weight. Color match that center grille and rear bumper. Use a Whipple instead of roush. The rear is about 1-2" too low. The stitching on the seats looks horrible. Delete lmst embroider on the seats. Should be all leather. That suede will look get stained dirty and look horrible after the first month. Exhaust should be rectangular integrated into the bumper like the new sierra
I wish Ford had gone ahead with the next generation Lightning. My 2002 Lightning was probably one of the most fun vehicles I have ever owned, but my Roush F-150 with a supercharge and operable paddle shifters is a very close second.
We checked with Ford Corporate and no dealer is allowed to put the Lightning badges on their custom trucks. It is copyrighted by Ford not even Pioneer Ford. They may be telling you that but it's not true.
We discussed doing that, the sport package on the xl doesn't come with the sport grille and the xlt sport package is not available on the regular cab. It would cost about $600 for the grille from Ford and another $500 for the body shop to put it on. Thanks for the input.
But you guys added the shutoff at stop lights thing to economize the fuel. It just wears out the starter quicker. Still looking forward to the Full metal body of a Tesla Cybertruck. Ford Keeps adding more and more plastic every year....
El Junes I have driven a gen 2 lightning and a ‘14, 5.0 and I can say, with all certainty, you have lost all touch with reality and you shouldn’t be trusted with any vehicle north of a bumper car. Also be sure to wear your helmet.when you’re ready to join us, we’ll all be here in 2019.
Jack Belew they are pieces of shit . V6 mustang beat me on the strip . Junk vehicles . I work in the auto industry. If it isn’t the engine compartment that leaks it’s the differential .. how are your rocker arms doing ? Never again will I buy a Ford . Junks .
Lightnings didn't come with an "optional" supercharger it came with a fucking super charger. Besides that it's a good looking truck I give it a 6 out 150 . Haha gottem
Remember, this specific Ford dealership is replicating the Lightening with insourced and outsource aftermarket parts, Ford did not design and produce an actual Lightening successor and it never will. I believe the reason why they say it's optional is because some customers might want the look without the crazy performance. Makes sense to have SCs as optional to me.
@@philtripe Ey, don't forget about the spark plugs. Had too little threads, and I have it in the 2006 Ford F-150 and I'm scared to replace them. I will someday though, when it's time
If the supercharger is optional then calling it a lightning is optional as well...
The original lightning was not supercharged

It's a beautiful option package. I'd probably delete the bed side graphics.
wait for a hot summer day, and those graphics will peel right off
Same. Or maybe a just an actual plastic emblem in ford font would be cool.
I'd remove all of the badging 👍🏼
All graphics are really stupid unless it is a shelby mustang or maybe a boss 302
Yes agree, I always de-badge my vehicles. Can't stand decals, pin-stripe or emblems...they gotta go!
The upholstery work on the leather seats looks like crap
The leather is very good quality and done well by TopKing out of Kansas City, that middle seat does look a little loose because it was laid down before recording that clip.
@Jeff Geiger is that sarcasm or are you actually asking
Yea the quality may be good but they look HORRIBLE like seat covers you get at pep boys...come on get it together if you're gonna charge crazy prices
Like a child did them

Nice truck ditch the graphics though they look cheap.
Was thinking the same thing, looks like someones 3 yr old came up with that
You can get a heat gun and take it off yourself
From the factory looks just fine, branding is how they market their product. If debadging is your thing go right ahead.

Nice looking Truck. Nice powerful motor combo with the Roush add ins. Keep up the great Content.
Super good looking truck. The wheel/tire combo, stance and the short cab all work together to make this a stand out.
Whipple. We swapped our roush charger for whipple. 725 crank hp no issues n get a warranty too
I think VMP is better tho since the offer support on their products with tumes and what not.
Vmp gen 3 super charger can get 850 hp on the biggest pulley
VMP definitely dominates when it comea to superchargers on Fords. #ProjectNeighbor

Agree David, looks like a seat cover that's a size or 2 too big..... Loose and sloppy

We checked with Ford Corporate and no dealer is allowed to put the Lightning badges on their custom trucks. It is copyrighted by Ford not even Pioneer Ford. They may be telling you that but it's not true.
Omg I so want this ford. The Chevy hd looks ugly
That truck looks amazing
It looks cheap 🤬
Not even close to the original lighting
Nothing beats the 2nd gen lightning💯
Needs the sport grille
We discussed doing that, the sport package on the xl doesn't come with the sport grille and the xlt sport package is not available on the regular cab. It would cost about $600 for the grille from Ford and another $500 for the body shop to put it on. Thanks for the input.
But you guys added the shutoff at stop lights thing to economize the fuel. It just wears out the starter quicker. Still looking forward to the Full metal body of a Tesla Cybertruck. Ford Keeps adding more and more plastic every year....
Looks like a cheap work truck with rims and a beefed up engine .. nothing like the first and second Gen
Truth
The old lightning couldn’t keep up with a stock 5 liter xlt with nothing but tires.
Jack Belew I personally had a 5.0 2012 and they are slow shit boats .
El Junes I have driven a gen 2 lightning and a ‘14, 5.0 and I can say, with all certainty, you have lost all touch with reality and you shouldn’t be trusted with any vehicle north of a bumper car. Also be sure to wear your helmet.when you’re ready to join us, we’ll all be here in 2019.
Jack Belew they are pieces of shit .
V6 mustang beat me on the strip . Junk vehicles . I work in the auto industry. If it isn’t the engine compartment that leaks it’s the differential .. how are your rocker arms doing ? Never again will I buy a Ford . Junks .
Is all wheel drive available?
We could make that happen, we made one in a 4x4 for another customer.
Lightnings didn't come with an "optional" supercharger it came with a fucking super charger.
Besides that it's a good looking truck I give it a 6 out 150 .
Haha gottem
Remember, this specific Ford dealership is replicating the Lightening with insourced and outsource aftermarket parts, Ford did not design and produce an actual Lightening successor and it never will. I believe the reason why they say it's optional is because some customers might want the look without the crazy performance. Makes sense to have SCs as optional to me.
he said the cold air intake is an option not the SC
the 5.0 puts out more hp without a super charger than the lightning had with a super charger on that lazy 5.4
@@philtripe Ey, don't forget about the spark plugs. Had too little threads, and I have it in the 2006 Ford F-150 and I'm scared to replace them. I will someday though, when it's time
I guess this is the closest thing to a Lightning. Ford should build it!
