- forged from left over mustang cobra and GT40 parts...the ford f150 svt lightning took the world by storm (pun intended) hands down one of the best trucks ever made.
If I was a young man in the 90s and could buy a new vehicle this would have been it! 90s Ford f150s will always look better then the new ones!
I whish they made a svt windstar van, for fast delivery the kids to school
😂
They made one prototype in 1996 and it's owned (or was) by Tim Allen

The manual trans available on this truck was a bulletproof Borg-Warner I believe....
Severely and deliberately underrated...love it when the 302 Cobra was underrated also and...yes beat on the Lt1s.
Had a red 93 back in 2003.. Miss that truck!
That burnout at the end was a thing of beauty!
The only good thing to ever come out of a Chevy truck! 😂🙏
I hate Ford mostly and like Chevy alot but that pecific Ford truck a love and hate that Chevy truck
@@jonathanwestmoreland79214 years late but same… SVT has always been the best of Ford (not including Ford of Britain/Europe).
That is the good seat set up to have
The bucket seats were so choice!
2:08 I have *never* seen a factory manual lightning
Automatic only on these trucks...
it’s a swap
I know these trucks only came in automatic lol but the guy said that a manual was also available from the factory.
Wish I never sold mine 😢😢😡😡
I sold mine, and I had to buy the bitch back
Same here😭😭😭
Me too
Scott Collier same here. So your not alone.
Danny I know that filling listen my sister just got her license and my dad always had this 1994 Ford fi50 debadged lightning and never run let me say I was scared as hell of that truck it had wasp snakes and had old working to a fule line and the battery worked and mechanicals would come out. And say to be careful about it but she got that truck after I worked hard on it I was 7 and that truck was mine and when I was older I would drive it * I'm ten now and now my truck is a international scout* she moved to Alabama and ended up selling the lightning
Makes me miss my 95 lightning got it when I was 14 there great trucks had it till I was 18
2:52 judging by thet 90s cd player, you know the owner has had it for many years
Dude I want one of these bad!
I got a 2003 love it
I will sell u mine
There pretty awsome
These were not available with the manual transmission only the E4OD
Yes they were sir as they were very rare i believe from 93 to 95 there were only like around 20 some each year and i know this as i happen to be lucky to have 3 of them 2 which are manual shift
@@keiththompson4764 no you're full of shit if it's manual then it's not stock, the lightning never came with anything other than an auto.
If it's a manual it's not a real lightning or it's been swapped by someone. Every GEN 1 rolled off the line with an auto.
Any first gen lightning with a manual trans has been swapped
Luv mine 93 lighting 106k original miles in mint condition.
This reminds me of a poor audio quality knock off of "Up to Speed"
But without the annoying talking of hers pers🤦🏻♂️
More like Regular Car Reviews
I love my 94 lightning
Allxn I just bought a 94 black for 9k love it
No manual transmission version were ever produced
You are absolutely correct. I had a 1993. Bought it brand new . Automatic transmission only. Great truck. I changed it from speed density to mass air. 6 lb kenne bell. Kept stock headers, replaced that ridiculous 4 catalyst system with 2 high flow cats and 2 chamber flowmasters with 2 1/2 aluminized pipe duals exiting before the rear tires. Art Carr shift kit, Custom tune, roll pan, 2 1/2 inch cervini Cowel hood. Low profile fiberglass tonneau cover. Color was red . Had the whole truck sprayed with clear coat including tonneau. No clear coat from factory. Very strange. 3 inch bell tech drop in front 6 inch in rear. God I miss that truck!!!!! Sold it about 17 years ago .
No no no. These never came with a manual transmission
It actually did
No it did not ford could not make a transmission to hold the torque of the 351w and be able to carry its own weight
@@txgmachine5021 what is the vin on the lightning u speak of???
Own a Red ‘02 Lighting, sooo sweet. 👍🏻🤠🇺🇸
How much
and the thunder rolled.
Wtf are you talking about?? Manual transmission! And as a engine builder I have never heard of the pistons that you talk of! Are you high!?
Courtney Shoemaker this Dude should be blocked from making videos ... I would like to see what he owns !!
Yeah it was never offered with a manual but the lightning did use hypereutectic pistons which are made from an aluminum silicon alloy like he said
@@mikemc4549 yhea those pistons.! I agree with you! They don't exist in my lightning anymore.! And should never been made!!!!
I love these trucks. These could compete with the typhoon and cyclone.
My friend couldn’t find a mint one so we made one 😂 93 F150 302 with long tube headers, gt40 heads, f303 cam, three inch straight pipe.
Probably cheaper then buying an actual lightning nowadays
I WANT ONE SO BAD
Great review! Love my 2nd Gen!
I wish I had bought one of these when they were less expensive. I'm trying to decide if I should save up for one or build a clone. Probably a clone, because I want to daily. Nothing crazy, I just want a clean 9th gen and the Lightning has the look. It would be cool if I could have the same frame and mods as the lightning...but now we are talking about a lot of trouble.
I am in the middle of restoring my red 95 lightning now.
How is it coming?? I did my 93 a few years back....
@@reddirtfarm7704 Once it warms up, I am painting the frame. Then I can start putting it back together.
@@morticus7650 i can relate!. It's been cold here too. Stay focused on it $$$$$!!!!!! Svt power 💪
How with having only 240 hp does it have a good 0 to 60 time!?
Where the old transmissions with less gears just more efficient?
My dream truck
Can't mess with 454SS no way
Only little boys wear bowties 😂😉
You never mentioned 340 ft lb of torque and that no it doesn't have the same towing capacity of a regular F-150. The lightning only could carry 600 plus pounds in the bed not even close to a half ton.
I have a 93 I tow my 1966 ford f100 to the racetrack to new Mexico and it drives up the Raton pass with that load like nothing's even on the back. I never out anything in the bed. But I know it can tow like a beast for what it is.
This seems like the Walmart version of up to speed from donut media
There’s no need to put down Chevy trucks!
Booth from the right years are good!!
Both are reliable and both can be modified easily!
I have a 93 typhoon seats 2 more much faster better handling and gas mpg. Made very few should do a vid on those if you can find one
I use to have a 91 Chevy S10 with the 4.3 liter V6 and single cab. It use to smoke these gen 1 Lightnings also. The Typhoon is pretty dope but the Syclone was awesome.
@@SVTsupercharged reading your comment takes me back brother, I had a 92 Chevy blazer with the 4.3 V6 also, and I was constantly smokin tires and "starting fights"😂😂😂😂💯💯💯💪💪💪
@@texasboysuge6086 haha! Nice man, good times.
SVTsupercharged Hi dude what? The 4.3 was a pos motor, I’ve owned 2 of them. I know your talking BS, when did you wake up from that wet dream
texas boy suge another wet dreamer but one from the state where steers and queers come from
I got a candy red 94 with 12 inch cosmis in the rear. Doing engine swap soon. Sticking with bore 351. Would never sell it!
Do the next gen lighting too
He did and TOTALLY screwed that one up!
Ray Jay I can’t find that video.
@@everyonewasstealingmynamea919 he erased it
Dâniël Rodriguez Lol that’s funny thanks for the reply.
I appreciate the history lesson here, I own a 94 F150, but you didn't have to try to copy the voice and intellect of the RegularCarReviews guy. You could just use your own narrative style and people would still watch your video for the information.
There was no manual version people have done it though
I have a 94 with afr heads and a Tremec 5spd
@@geraldt5956 Sounds like a fun combination
I love mine🤟🏻
U lucky to have one or just find one for sale and buy it. 👍🏻🇨🇦
Very Good
Badass truck🔥
Love the video
I need this truck.
I have the attention span of a deer 🤗
What wheels are those in the beginning? And where can I buy them ?
I have a chance to buy a white one ford lightning 🌩 for 8 grand I'm thinking of buying it. 🤔 thoughts should i pull trigger on it?
Outta the 11,000 made Lightning’s, only about 2,200 came in white, which is the rarest of them all
I have a 94’ white, 89 Saleen convertible in white and a 89’ asc McLaren Mustang in white
ayo i got this car for my 16 rn😂 this shit is amazing ong🙏🏾
That huge 454ss made only 255hp...
No kidding. Pathetic.
You missed so much on this truck check the frame against a f150 of the same year look at the finned diff look at the springs with rubber snubbers then the drive shaft with
Any major issues?
Is it as fast as a 2001 Ford F-150 Harley Davidson edition?
I want one.
Oh shit this is my dream truck actually no it’s probably the 2000
I use to have a 1991 single cab Chevy S10 with the 4.3 liter V6. I use to smoke these Lightning back in the day. It was making over 300 horsepower and weighed thousands of pounds less than the Lightning.
I know own a gen 2 Ford Lightning and it's a bad ass truck.
SVTsupercharged Hi your 4.3 made over 300hp back in the day?
@@scottallard7566 Well it was around 300. But of course it wasn't stock.
I thought 4.3 back then was more like a 170 hp lol
If it's a 351 Windsor then it's a 5.8. Not 5.4
5.4 was the 2nd generation . 1 st generation was 93/95 with a 5.8
@@damiantremont1366 that's literally what he just said
New Johnsonville
My cousin and uncle took a 94 f150 xlt long bed and turn it into a sleeper lighting clone kinda But it made 395 Wheel HP 460 TQ wheel It put the wheels off the road. I drove it for 5 miles of HOLY SHIT TIME!! that thing is nuts and now it has flame thowers Here is the link to see for yourself czcams.com/video/gil9488xhWE/video.html
Before you buy a 1996-2001.5 B5 A4
yeah but the 2001 would eat both of them as a snack
they don’t make em they they use to
No, they make them faster, and more efficient, and comfortable...
Ian Parrish you’re right the 2018 lighting is comfortable faster and more efficient....
@@jtkrres123456 No, but the new 5.0, and Ecoboost are.
Nice
I wish they made a 4 door version
Lol
A company made a 4 door bronco with a diesel if it counts for anything
There was a small amount of 4 door and extended cab Lightnings made by the company full effect. These would be real Lightnings taken off the line and stretched. These trucks are the rarest of all the lightnings and are quite sought after.
Make one on LX gen 2 Chrysler 300. Rip srt8 after 2015 😞 & it’s history with Benz and reliability
Were do u By one Mr Random🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙
Think u. Ms Random
Doesn’t the gmc syclone dust these. Ford isn’t better 💀
Gmc syclone is awd and a mid size truck
I like Ford & Chevy! I hate dodge!
I believe Toyotas are practical for most people. But they’re boring!
Really?🤔 because every single video on the internet i see the 454ss destroys the lightning
More power yes, but more power is useless if you can't put it to the ground. Plus I'm pretty sure the 454 is heavier than the 351
Dollar for dollar and pound for pound the lightning is superior. You can put the same amount of money into both trucks and the Ford would be faster.
I was actually incorrect, the lighting made 240HP, the 454 made 230
Now do 454 SS truck
zero to 60 in over 7 seconds omg granny would fall asleep at 55 mph ,,, her mustang 302 carb motor ran 13 in a 1/4 mile at over 110mph rip granny rip motor city dragway ,,, rip her little red mach 1 mustang 4 speed ,,, we had a 67 ford 390 station wagon that would do better than zero to 60 in 7.. so am i missing something ??? gee wiz our old dirt bike flat bed 3 speed chevy 4 bolt could run that with 4 dirt bikes in the back... omg ford bring back the falcon gt sprint ..please,,, 289,,,351 clev,, 428,,429,,, the holy grail ford 427 thunderbolt,,, 616 hp ready for supercharger street legal at 1000 to 1200 hp 1963......what have the liberals done to our cars..god help us,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Marie Miller what the fuck are u talking about
Nazario Mendoza Seems he rubbed his keyboard acoss his knee then hit enter
Terrible review of an iconic truck
F150 79
Nope
WoT
Booooooo Automatic
I can tell your a ford fan
Ladies & gentlemen
We got him
Junk
Lol that's my 05 Chevy crew cab beat both new and old lighting and all have is baby cammed 5.3 with hight gear 3.42 come now really it's a ford
Did they even know you were racing? And if you only have a cam you don't gain much of jack shit without better heads.... You've at most gained 20-30hp if it's been tuned otherwise you probably hurt yourself more than you helped
The 5.3 I put together had an ls7 cam, homemade ram air cold air system (that gained me about 10-15hp over a cheap cold air system from a parts store), hand ported/polished heads and intake, long tubes with 1 3/4 primaries to a 3 inch collector, and a 3 inch true dual straight pipe exhaust system.... I made right around 425 at the rear wheels on a 4x4 truck and I could barely keep up with a new lightning with a smaller pulley the old lightning I never got to race
So unless there's more you're not saying you're full of shit
Bet you can't speak as bad as you spell.5.3 suck ass
Yeah I know that's all it gives but u know it sad wen super change light gets beat my truck welcome ls baby
Yeah he asked to race and I'm tuned and header and 3200 stall LS is the was to go Ford built right LS swapped
Hope it runs better then you write.probably doesn't.probably runs like shit
