I work with the guy that sold you the truck. He's happy that it went to someone that really appreciates it.

Tyler Hoover is the only man that could buy a clean, sorted vehicle that arrived as represented by the seller and seem completely disappointed

Love how he made all his money from buying hoopties, then gets divorced and sells off more than half of his collection, buys a farm and builds the ultimate gear head property, finds a hot chic and goes back to buy hoopties again. Excellent work!

Nice to see Vango back on the channel. They do great work.

My grandfather spent his retirement money from the paper mill to buy one of these in 2004

Yes, Stuart's back! I was worried you guys had a falling out or something.

We haven’t seen Vango for a while, great to see that Tyler is stil giving him business - he deserves it..

When I was 16 my parents offered to buy me a vehicle and asked me what I wanted. I requested an F150 Lightning and my parents knew what an F150 was and went shopping for a vehicle for a teen (me). When the dealership informed them it had a supercharged V8 with a bit too much power, I got a bit of a talkin' to when they were informed what this truck was. Needless to say, I did not get an F150 lightning as a first vehicle.

Hoovie slinging parts for Harry on the side

That's a clean Ford for that age with a 120,000+ miles.

Glad to see Stuart and Vango back! Been wondering what happened to him. And that’s a great find on the lightning! Someone really loved that truck!

Happy to see the return of Van Gough!

Happy to see Vango again! Wondered if something had happened and you just weren't taking cars there anymore.

The Wizards new truck looks real nice...

I have a 2003 with 38,000 miles on it that my dad bought new. Fun truck, great engine, inadequate brakes and handling.

Yes, Stuart's back!!! We missed him

I had a 2003 as an 18 year old and loved it. Miraculously never got a single speeding ticket despite it being floored constantly. Confirmed it would bury the 140mph speedo with ease. The wind noise was insane at top speed being it was a brick aerodynamically.

My dad was a used car dealer from the 80’s through the early 2000’s. One of the coolest things was he didn’t own his own car. He normally took one of his more high dollar vehicles off the lot and drove new cars home everyday. He brought this exact truck home one night and it was the coolest thing. It had nitrous and everything. Needless to say we well he got a speeding ticket that night when I told him I wanted to see how fast it was. 😂

The sound alone is worth the price of admission.

Seeing the kid jump into Hoovies car at the end reminded me of one time at a car dealership I used to work at. I was what they called a Service Porter up on the Service Drive. I was told to jump start a customers Cadillac sedan that had been brought in and was getting ready to remove the cover to the trunk release (electric but had a outside covered key) and discovered the back doors were unlocked, the front were electric. I could just get in the back seat and reach over to pop the drivers door. The ground was wet and I didn't want to have to clean my wet shoe prints off the rear seats so I took off my shoes to avoid making a mess.

17:25 Hoovie: “you like the drive shaft? ” Me: *don’t answer* Wizard: “it’s beefy”

Stewart's back! Love him. Awesome Lighting Hoovie!

It's been a minute since Vango made an appearance. Glad to see him!

I love that truck and I'm so happy to see vanngo back!!

Being from the UK.. It’s this truck, a cts-v wagon and a 90s Impala ss that I dream of owning when it comes to American cars

Wish there were more Hoovie videos per week!!! So much fun!

I used to build those motors when I worked at Ford. They are good for at least 250,000 miles without a major repair! Great buy for that price! 😊

Had the same odometer issue in my 99 mustang. They look like about the same cluster. Takes less than 10 mins to get out. Just some interior to pop out and half a dozen torx screws. Disassemble the cluster back and just take a soldering iron to the odometer pinout. Worked great

This thing was, and always will be, an instant classic! So much love and strong demand for them into forever! My uncle still has his from 1999 and it’s rockin!

Fisnlly some more towing reviews

Great to see you VanGogh back on the channel!!!! I’ve been missing those segments

My father inlaw bought one if these, he did not like using it for truck things so when those needed to happened we swapped, that was a fun truck, it is still rolling around where I live.

20:55 I knew I missed Stuart, but totally I forgot how entertaining and funny he is.

I love that you are back to your roots. Buying affordable cars. Love the GT500 and now this lightning.

Great video!! I bought a mint condition 2002 SVT Lightning last year. It has 32k miles on the odometer. It's a California truck and I LOVE driving it!!!! It's 100% stock with no mods.

That is esentially 50% off the going for price for that truck. Damn that was a good deal.

Great to see you back at van-go, seems like a great buisness

Perks of being a celeb! Also nice for the seller, knowing this nice piece will be with hoovy and enjoyed by millions on youtube.

I bought a 2002 recently with 57k miles from my grandpa been loving it.

Lightings are so cool great pick up hoovie

You should take it to the detailer place and get it nice and shiny and polished

Awesome!!! An iconic pickup, some of my favorite looking factory wheels. Good job Hoovie!

I love that Tylers channel has almost certainly boosted at least four other businesses and UKposts channels. He deserves his success from that alone. Being wealthy is great, but make sure to share it around!

Nice to see you back at Van Gogh and Liam on the video!

FINALLY an episode about something the average man can afford. NOW ya got me "viewing" you again. More like these please.

That's still my dream truck with a child with autism priorities in life change. Thanks for sharing it to us.

Glad to see Van Gogh back! They do amazing work! Awesome buy on the Lightning!

Stuart is simply brilliant 💯👍🏻😁

Would definitely like to see more of Stewart on the channel

With all of the flash from those movies, I think it’s awesome when you see a lightning with the decal on the side. Such a subtle nod that feels so “iykyk” for such a GIGANTIC franchise

Missed Vango. Those transformations are amazing!

Hoov finally buys a keeper! Nice truck bro.

Looks like it has catless midpipes and a bigger heat exchanger.Nice find !

My neighbour had a black one for many years. When working in the front yard, I always knew when Jim was coming home because you could hear the supercharger whine (I would then go and help him make the difficult turn, backing his fishing rig into a narrow driveway off a super busy street. He finally sold it (the rwd was not too useful on greasy boat ramps and he did a lot of fishing). The one rusty place I found was the rad support, which I noticed was very bad when I was underneath trying to fix one of the lower fog lights. It was a cool truck and always sat so right.

That noise is epic. You can't beat it. Add in that supercharger whine. Cool stuff. I sometimes see one of these old Lightnings here in Lara, Victoria, Australia where I live.

The 2 tone van with the fade is my favorite but this truck is amazing nice find!! (I wanna see the van again)

Van gough does nice work

WOW... time sure does fly! I can't believe he's already 4! Seems like just yesterday you did your first video with him! Still follow your other channel you set up for him. Can't wait to start watching him get as into cars as you are!

Couple of nights ago I was at a car meet and there was a perfect replica of Brian's lime green Mitsubishi Eclipse.While I'm not into ricer cars it was very cool.

Hoovie that wasn't donuts that was a burnout 😂

You named your cat Neelix.....You are a true Star Trek nerd....LOVE IT

Tyler, get the rear bumper done and go to a sandblaster and get everything hit underneath. anything that falls off will still be negligible to replace. great find. today, many can truly envy you, especially us gen Xers.

Nice to see Stuart again ! Nice guy

Thank the fan that hooked you up this time. Van Gogh can most likely save that Lightening rear bumper, and maybe do rust stop on the other few places, and get it all back 100%! As Always, May God Bless you and yours!

GMC Typhoon says hold my beer!

I bought one a few years ago, 1 owner, Tru- Blue from Texas. Got on the forums, read up on all the things to look for, things to do. Snapped it up, decently modded it...won 20+ shows with it, and it was a solid 600hp show winner/heart stopper/ street killer. Put it up at Gateway Classic cars...sold for over 40k.

My cousin has the 1st generation lightning that her dad gave her when he passed, it’s a beautiful truck looks almost new.

Craving a tuna with out crust.

Thank you Hoovie for the videos they make our days better ❤

I loveeee these ! That sound will forever make my heart smile. I knew a customer who had one. He came to my old Dunkin’ Donuts job everyday and the thing had like 160+k miles back in 2010. He was older so I’m assuming he kept it till he past. I wonder if he’s still around and where that truck went. He kept it soooo clean it looked exactly the same.

Looks pretty good underneath with regard to rust. Those gusset pieces that attach the cab to the rocker panels always rust badly. Hose them out really good--they fill up with mud and small rocks. Then (when dry) spray them with an anti-rust film (inside and out) like Woolwax, Fluidfilm, etc. I did that to mine and it stopped it from rusting any further.

I've still got the 95 lightning that I bought new in 95. 🥰

It's WILD when you look at this truck and then compare it to the newest F150. Vehicles got bigger but that size change is CRAZY

Amazing truck, i was working at ford as a lot porter when a low miles used one came on the lot. Service manager asked me to take it to the tire shop for new tires.....i made sure the old tires were junk by the time i got it there.

Nice to see Vango back on the channel.

I've hit the "like" button a hundred times. Too bad that doesn't count. I absolutely LOVE this truck and always wanted one! Do not sell it!!!!

that supercharger is TIRED! XD

Been watching Barrett Jackson auctions lately, I was surprised to see Hoovie co-hosting , dudes very, very good.

I built my own version due to how expensive the real deal is. I found a nice 04 f-150 2x4 xlt, the paint, interior, and cosmetics are nice. I bought a rolled 2020 f-150 5.0 10spd and put it in the 04, next comes the blower and fuel system. For 20k plus my labor so far it’s been a fun project, but also a lot of work. I have many loose ends to still tie up tho.

Dear Tyler - Don't mud it. Love, everyone.

I worked at a ford dealer in San Diego and got to drive a manual version of one of these. I guess it was made specifically for some rich footballer that played for San Diego. Beast of a car but you could tell the transmission definitely came out of a commercial truck, quite crude and notchy.

19:33 I had a Lada 1500 as my first car, and I will never forget it. It was really something else. ❤️

It's actually pretty easy to scratch the itch for a sports truck today: buy an F150 single cab with a 5.0, throw on a whipple, do a couple basic suspension mods, you're done.

Hoovie is the type of guy who eats his Alphabet cereal in Alphabetical order

Whoever is watching this video, I hope this day will be a great day.

Hoovie, as an owner of an 02 F150 from WI, that truck is in AMAZING condition. Consider yourself extremely lucky.

A buddy of mine had one of these back in college and it was a blast.

That thing sounds heat soaked.

First to like it hell yea

My favorite hoovies rig he's bought recently! What a beauty! 🤘

Had one of those trucks years ago... loved it and miss it sometimes. Fun as hell love the whine

First

Need to do a video showing it get cleaned up I miss those

Hi hoover, I am a huge fan of you and I've been watching your videos for years and years, never missed one. We need to see you bond more with the cars. We usually see you buying the car, then the wizard then selling it. It's been like that for almost 2 years. What happened to the early Mercedes story's or your grandfather's car? Or even the Apollo. I loved to see the same cars a little bit from time to time. Love you hoovie hope you take this message in a good way❤

I have a White 2001. I love it. Long tube headers, lowered. She is just so much fun. You will not regret this purchase.

There are no many engine noises that sound better than a supercharged V8 at full tilt. The wailing supercharger over V8 bass is hard to beat for "wow" factor and something that EVs just don't even come close to matching. That truck looks like it's been someone's absolute pride and joy; a very well loved vehicle.

Beautiful daily driver well cared for in the rust belt! Perfect truck to restore and enjoy! Thanks for sharing!

There's a guy about 10 miles from me that uses a red one as his personal and landscaping vehicle. It's been thoroughly weathered but, he throws lawn mowers and rusty lawn implements in the bare painted bed like any other truck. And it still sounds plenty healthy!

Shoutout to the viewer who hooked Hoover up with this classic ❤ they’ve grown on me so much over the years!
