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.

[@Leatherface123.]

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

[@catnipbandit6630]

R.I.P. Toney Farrell in my opinion the driver people think of when they think of Blue Thunder❤️❤️❤️

[@stb2017]

Even though it never won a world championship, Blue Thunder will always be awesome.

[@AlienVibesss]

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]

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]

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)

[@javodey]

I miss the super duty body and the dual flags too

[@monsterjamin24-79]

I loved this truck. It was my favorite as a kid. So sad it never got a world championship, cause it deserved to win freestyle in 2013.

[@twistedaxles9126]

Blue Thunder is one of the greatest underrated monster trucks in Monster Jam

[@monsterforcerc]

It’s not underrated, it’s in the right spot.

[@skullboy1314]

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.

[@sammitchell3657]

Rest In peace Tony 🙏 you're gone but never forgotten.

[@monstertruckinsanitytourof7915]

Its crazy how Todd Leduc drove blue thunder in 2011 and 11 years later he drives it again

[@JVC1103]

Nice to see the Monster Jam Evolution of Blue Thunder! There was another Blue Thunder monster truck in the 80s

[@waynenorbreyjr9638]

Yep, the one the Dabney's had.

[@waynenorbreyjr9638]

The Camero

[@Ghost-ns8vs]

The O.G.

[@ausproductionsofficial]

I’m just gonna put this out there I definitely think Kirks did a little inspiration for the one present I really do they could’ve been worried people would come after them for copyright or something

[@Pablo-312]

It's very sad that Dalton Millican and Tony Farrell had died... But at least they're performing monster truck shows in heaven...

[@SoundwaveX7]

When did Dalton Millican pass on?

[@SoundwaveX7]

@@faxxris9864 Thanks for answering my question.

[@Ghostmanetx]

As a kid, Blue Thunder was my favorite truck and El Toro Loco was my older brothers favorite. I remember we bought a dvd of Monster Jam Tour Crushers which included highlights of both trucks. I hope they bring the old style back one day.

[@Foodnstuff109]

Blue thunder was my favorite growing up. I still remember just how loud that truck was compared with the rest of the crowd. Just an amazing truck

[@doctabyte5370]

I was at the 2016 Young Guns Shootout and we actually sat close to Tyler Menninga's... I can't remember if they were his parents or grandparents

[@Maximum_spirit]

What the hell are you even talking about ?

[@travis.sewilo]

Linsey Weenk’s new Cohen chassis debuted at the final Metrodome show.

[@gswizzy17]

This truck is where simple and creative come together. IMO the best truck to ever exist

[@stewpiddewd]

i remember being at monster jam at stafford years ago and in the pit party my dad noticed the truck actually had a chevy motor in it despite it still having the ford body/sponsor

[@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.

[@Bentleys_Rc]

I don't know if it's just me but I like the 2001 body and 2013

[@stevenfarrington2361]

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 🤷‍♂️

[@peanutbutterjeff5364]

@@stevenfarrington2361 With the body, like I said, it just looks like all the other trucks that used it. If they did something like the 3D body Shocker used to have, I’d be fine with that. It’s not so much how it looks, but how generic it looks.

[@charlesbakston7414]

@@stevenfarrington2361 Change is not always good.

[@mattdotsonrailfanproductio266]

I always liked the 2013 body, but I will say I personally think the 2013 scheme woulda looked amazing on the super duty body.

[@MrMonsterJamFan]

You should do an evolution of Carolina Crusher

[@ryurc3033]

I was 14 when this truck first showed up. It was always a threat to ..y favorite drivers. Had to respect the oower

[@Jackson-gt9qd]

I'll miss blue thunder I hope they bring it back again

[@Palkia8842]

The Ford Built Tough and Twin Flag Blue Thunder was the best imo

[@brodyjones4023]

what if red Thunder was a Chevy ...?

[@bustyrandit]

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.

[@DSBOY33]

Blue thunder is a hard truck to see now days but I was happy to see it back at Ford Field earlier this year and hopefully it keeps a driver next year

[@JCMotorsports]

Holy moly! I am so excited to see this!!

[@Gozi_Arrik]

Evolution of mohawk warrior?

[@Band__geek]

Not to put a damp on it but not much to talk about. An Escalade, A black Escalade, Mohawk warrior, Great clips, not much.

[@CNRG411]

Blue thunder actually dates back to 1980s with a blue thunder made which is actually a monster car

[@m4ssee]

Holy shit, can't remember any other truck being able to do wheelies from a dead stop. I know it's kinda unwanted especially when it comes to racing but damn that's cool.

[@Gemtacbotgameing3]

I hope the next one is El Toro loco

[@wesleybostic7139]

The original blue thunder was a old Camaro I thought

[@stewpiddewd]

it was and i remember hearing it had a hemi in it

[@elbigsurge]

I’ve always wondered if Blue Thunder was Monster Jam’s version of Bigfoot..,

[@lewisb85]

It was it's replacement basically.

[@derpyzmayhem420]

I love Blue Thunder ever since, I had those big Monster Truck toys and I would watch Monster Jam every Sunday

[@ryanvirgin2387]

I remember blue thunder At the county fair. They always try to bring a heavy hitter to bring a show. And I will always remember that.

[@beastmode_bryan8]

My first favorite monster jam truck

[@MyWorld-eb9oz]

Wow, so many Grave Digger drivers have been behind the wheel of this iconic truck, fitting, since it's my new favorite truck over the Diggers.

My absolute favorite monster truck to date. And I think the very first Blue thunder with the super duty body and the small logo might be my favorite one out of all the other Blue Thunders.

[@kidz4p509]

I remember seeing Blue Thunder at World Finals 14. Up until that event, I hadn’t seen the truck in a long while.

Anyone else miss wen the trucks would break really easily and have flat tires

[@sammitchell3657]

Yea. It's a safety reason tho. I guess.

[@Brutus33ish]

This is a awesome video and blue thunder was the first truck that I ever saw.

[@ZaxleTV]

its def one of the most iconic Ford trucks in Monster Jam. but there is one more i would say is even more iconic.

#moremonsterjam a minute of silence for Tony Farrel and Dalton Mallican 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

[@monsterjambrony]

Blue Thunder has always been my favorite monster truck!

[@ricardoearellanes7293]

Awesome video! One question I have after seeing it go through so many driver changes is, will Todd LeDuc stay in Blue Thunder for the long haul or will another driver take over some time in the coming years? I actually think that other than Monster Energy, Blue Thunder really suits him P.S. You should do a video highlighting the most iconic MJ moments of all time

[@oztekmando8510]

Yo monster talk im really excited for the video

[@chripasta]

Correction, Todd’s 2011 chassis was the 2002 chassis lyle Hancock drove

Blue Thunder has always been my favorite truck

[@2ez710]

I come from the hometown of Tony Farrell, Blue Thunder will always be on top!

[@AFellowDoktuh]

I'll be honest.. they should have kept Blue Thunder with a Super Duty body. Idk, I just feel like the truck its self sort of lost its identity..

[@zachblackattack6379]

I like the Ford Super duty body but like the color scheme of the f150

[@iainmac7978]

Blue thunder on a camero body would be neat ; )

[@SakicFan]

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).

[@jorgesandoval7401]

Blue thunder is the goat,RIP Tony farrel

[@rainbowrunner1550]

Aside from Grave Digger, Blue Thunder would be my favorite monster truck in Monster Jam. Aside from Matt Cody's Speedster World Championship, I wanna see Blue Thunder win a World Title, especially since some former World Champions have even driven said truck, like Todd Leduc and Pablo Huffaker.
