    Arguably Monster Jam's most underrated truck. Incredible it still sees use today, and it's LONG overdue for a championship win. It wouldn't surprise me, that a Blue Thunder win, is coming soon. Todd Leduc is pushing this thing to it's limits, as it should be.

      IMO blue thunder still has a win because of the Tie it had that resulted in a tie breaker
      But blue thunder was able cause that tie in the first place so it was good enough to win

    I really miss the old Super Duty body style. I hope FELD either brings it back (We know they're still made in that body style since Stone Crusher still runs it) or upgrades it to a modern super duty.
    To me, It just isn't fitting at all for Blue Thunder to be an F-150 body. Especially since that body style is 10-15 years old now and seems to be getting phased out slowly.

    • @ricardoearellanes7293
      @ricardoearellanes7293 Před rokem +6

      I miss the Super Duty body as well. It's very nostalgic. However, I actually don't mind the F-150 body. I kinda like the way it looks on some trucks

    • @donnaasbury
      @donnaasbury Před rokem +2

      You should be thankful that FELD still has a pickup truck these days. Almost everything has been 3D bodies and not real life trucks such as the pickup. (Btw I am not referring to independents and I’m also not talking about retired trucks)

    I honestly think since blue thunder lost it's main sponsor in 2013 and had the new body change, Blue thunder has had a dramatic downfall when it comes to the fans. I used to love blue thunder it was one of my favorites. But after the change in 2013 I lost interest in the truck. That's just my view.

  • @peanutbutterjeff5364

    I strongly dislike the 2013 body. The Super Duty body stood out, but the F 150 looks like a lot of other trucks. Not to mention the horrendous light blue color. If needs be, the F 150 can work, as has been the case with Hot Wheels using it a few times, but it would look infinitely better with the old dark blue scheme.

      After the Ford sponsorship ended it’s understandable that Feld would reboot the brand in a different shade of blue and a different body. Not sure why some fans can’t accept change 🤷‍♂️

    Excellent Video. I've always thought highly of Blue Thunder, especially when Tony Farrell was driving ( RIP Tony) was annoyed when Lindsey Wenk jumped ship from the Bounty Hunter/Iron Outlaw team to drive Blue Thunder.Sometimes wondered if B T was M J's answer to not having BIGFOOT in their stable. The dark blue was almost the same as BF's until recent years and was directly sponsored by Ford. Maybe it's just me, lol. I'll never forget the 1st Blue Thunder from the 80s. It was based on a 67 Chevy Camaro and was built
    /owned by Kirk n Kevin Dabney. Check out "Return of the Monster Trucks" to see it in action.

    I know I might be in the minority here, But I personally like the newer Blue Thunder look because the F-150 body style feels more modern to me (Not the Super Duty body was considered dated) and the new lighter blue paint scheme makes the truck more vibrant and lively in my opinion (Again, Not that the dark blue scheme was considered dull).
