The first 2 minutes was so professional I thought it was a different review channel. The last 30 seconds is what I expect

[LgiT_Hax]

I can feel the 2000s, its angry with us.

[whatshaploing]

I love the unique sound of the starter on Ford trucks during those years.

[afrozen-]

The perfect truck to go and pick some overnight parts from Japan and order a tune sandwich with no crust.

[FarginBastiges]

Spot on description of brodozers. Don't forget the rude LED headlights and milk can tailpipes.

Back in 2000 my dad bought an unsold Black‘99. I still remember the day he pulled up in the driveway with it. I liked all of his vehicles at the time but the lighting stuck out to me solely because of how it looked and how fast it was. I can literally say THAT truck along with my dad’s love for it is the main reason I’m so into cars today!

Surprise at the end was like finding a toy in your cereal even though the box only had all the adult logos.

The crash test video of that generation of F-150 folding like an accordion will always stay with me. It's crazy since I grew up with that truck as the F-150 I knew.

Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that he just came into Harry's and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS, and a Motec system exhaust.

[FearlessLeader]

Well I've never clicked an RCR video so fast. Favorite truck of all time.

[ileutur]

"I need NOS. My car topped out at 140 this morning. I need one of these, one of the big ones. And Harry, I need it by tonight"

I bought my new in 2001 and nobody really knew what I had. It was so much fun surprising people. 1st thing I did was go to JDM engineering in Freehold New Jersey and buy every bolt on I could. Back then running a 12 second quarter mile was doing something. I even pulled a trailer with it if I put the stock pulley back on. Damn I miss that truck.

[alexcapps]

My parents had the Harley Davidson edition during this time. Same engine just in a quad cab configuration. The best way I can describe these trucks is they feel fast but are kinda slow. Still one of my favorite vehicles we ever had.

[narglefargle]

I completely agree with the rant about inconsiderate people taking up way more space than they need and forcing others to work around them. I've also never heard the word "brodozer, " but I'm certainly gonna start using it now.

[DucatiPaso]

To this day, I still remember the very first time I saw this version of the F-150 Lightning. It was a Saturday morning in 1999 and I used to love to ride my Ducati over to Pete's Mexican Food on 5th Street in Huntington Beach, California, for breakfast. Then I would walk over to Pristine Motorsports a couple of business away to check out the Porsches being repaired & modified and for sale on consignment. In the owner's parking spot was one of these Lightnings, black in color. My mouth dropped. I asked an employee if they had customized a stock F-150. He informed me that it was bone stock from Ford and that the owner loved it. I fell in love with it too. Oddly enough, I didn't get to drive one until some 12 years later when the IT guy at a job I had pulled up in one. He had done the pulley conversion, cold air intake and had installed a Flowmaster. It was a beast!! I have no need for one, but I also didn't have any need for the Ducati I used to ride. I think I'm going to enter this giveaway and hope for the best.

[NEWAOTSFAN]

My dad still has his '99 lightning to this day! It was the first vehicle I learned to drive in. It was definitely intimidating at the time (I was 14) but once I got used to it I never wanted to get out 😅.

[Low]

Definitely feel the brodozer issue even in Australia where rams and Silverados are now imported and owned by business owners who need a tax write off and you can't buy a hsv anymore.

[adamelliott]

I felt that 440ft/lbs in 2001. I was sent on a mission to pick up a Lightning from KY to bring back to the new owner in MS.

It was a good 500+ mile of magnificence!

[Ben-Rogue]

As someone who grew up in a country that never got these, I didn't see one of these in real life until a few years ago. The Lightning to me is a unicorn, like the Skyline GT-R is to American 80's and 90's kids
