We are still around. We aren’t getting rid of the L anytime, ever.

I bought my red 2001 Lightning brand new in June 2001 and I owned it for 15 years. I enjoyed modifying, racing, and showing that truck for a long time. Sold it to a guy in Riverside, CA back in September, 2016.

I went through four years of street truck withdrawal before my current 2020 F-150 XL Sport was special ordered through Beechmont Ford. It's not a Lightning, but it certainly provides the replacement adrenalin rush. :cool:

I'm not sure what the new owner is doing with it these days, but I have a sneaking suspicion that he's turned it into a daily driver. I had encouraged him to continue its show truck heritage because that truck was a trophy magnet. It had won well over 100 awards during the 15 years I owned it.

The new owner has contacted me one time and that was to tell me that the truck had arrived on the transporter and that it was "perfect".

wow, and I thought mine was a garage queen at 94k!
I hate to break it to you but it sees the track occasionally, tows the Mustang occasionally and has even done the 1/2 mile top speed thing along with driving to car shows. the only trailer it was ever on was when the fuel pump took a dump 200 miles from home and I had my brother in law go to our house, take the Mustang off the trailer to come and rescue us. I live in Michigan and the truck has never been on snow so thats how we kept the miles down.

So I decided to hit up some forums looking to see what everyone is doing for tires. Instead of tire chats, I found all the forums are dead. SVTP seems to be the most active and even that's a stretch. I have no idea how many of these trucks are still around, but it's been almost 20 years since the last one was sold new.

So, any other OG owners around? Got mine in 2001...
04, has 36500

This was a Lightning I always loved. I got mine in 2007 and always wanted to Join HALO.

I’m not the original owner but I am the second owner.

It’s currently receiving a heart transplant lol
