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.
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
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.
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)
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
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.
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.
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.
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 🤷♂️
@@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.
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.
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
Blue Thunder will always be the Best Truck and will always be My Favorite Childhood Truck Right Next to Max D, El Toro Loco, Bounty Hunter, King Krunch, Stone Crusher, Medusa, Monster Mutt, and Monster Mutt Dalmatian
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.
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
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).
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.
Please do the hotwheels monster jam team I love that team as kid because of the hotwheels brand I wanna know the history of the relationship between hotwheels and monster jam

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

I miss the super duty body and the dual flags too
Even though it never won a world championship, Blue Thunder will always be awesome.
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.
2005 was deserving as well
Blue Thunder is one of the greatest underrated monster trucks in Monster Jam
It’s not underrated, it’s in the right spot.
Nice to see the Monster Jam Evolution of Blue Thunder!
There was another Blue Thunder monster truck in the 80s
Yep, the one the Dabney's had.
The Camero
The O.G.

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
Rest In peace Tony 🙏 you're gone but never forgotten.
This truck is where simple and creative come together. IMO the best truck to ever exist

@@stevenfarrington2361 Change is not always good.
I always liked the 2013 body, but I will say I personally think the 2013 scheme woulda looked amazing on the super duty body.
I was 14 when this truck first showed up. It was always a threat to ..y favorite drivers. Had to respect the oower
Its crazy how Todd Leduc drove blue thunder in 2011 and 11 years later he drives it again
#moremonsterjam
a minute of silence for Tony Farrel and Dalton Mallican 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
I love Blue Thunder ever since, I had those big Monster Truck toys and I would watch Monster Jam every Sunday
Lyle Hancock is my dad! Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
Your dad really pushed that blue wrecking machine to the spotlight
BLUE THUNDER + TONY FARRELL = “A PERFECT BIGFOOT REPLACEMENT”!!!!
Holy moly! I am so excited to see this!!
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
What the hell are you even talking about ?
It's very sad that Dalton Millican and Tony Farrell had died... But at least they're performing monster truck shows in heaven...
When did Dalton Millican pass on?
@@SoundwaveX7 2015
@@Hello108i Thanks for answering my question.
Same year as Tony Farrell
Linsey Weenk’s new Cohen chassis debuted at the final Metrodome show.
You should do an evolution of Carolina Crusher
The Ford Built Tough and Twin Flag Blue Thunder was the best imo
I'll miss blue thunder I hope they bring it back again

This is a awesome video and blue thunder was the first truck that I ever saw.
My favorite truck of all time! Blue thunder is fantastic
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
"Air Man Dan"Dan Evans!🤘😊
He did great reverse moves.
I hope the next one is El Toro loco
thinking about the same thing😄
@@ryanmcmillin5313 yeah I know I watched it live
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.
I remember seeing Blue Thunder at World Finals 14. Up until that event, I hadn’t seen the truck in a long while.
My first favorite monster jam truck
Blue Thunder will always be the Best Truck and will always be My Favorite Childhood Truck Right Next to Max D, El Toro Loco, Bounty Hunter, King Krunch, Stone Crusher, Medusa, Monster Mutt, and Monster Mutt Dalmatian
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.
Blue Thunder has always been my favorite monster truck!
Blue thunder actually dates back to 1980s with a blue thunder made which is actually a monster car
Todd needs to win a championship in world finals
He has
2 times
@@ryanmcmillin5313 yeah
rip Tony Farrell
now that leducs back in blue thunder imagine if metal mulisha returned that would be hilarious, and awesome
As a kid my favorites were Reptoid followed by Blue Thunder..... i miss early 2000s monster jam
its def one of the most iconic Ford trucks in Monster Jam. but there is one more i would say is even more iconic.
I’ve always wondered if Blue Thunder was Monster Jam’s version of Bigfoot..,
It was it's replacement basically.
The greatest monster truck that has never won a championship
Well one of them at least
Yo monster talk im really excited for the video
Blue Thunder has always been my favorite truck
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.
Bigfoot is great and all but Blue Thunder was and still is my Ford Monster Truck Favorite!
Man these shocks really exploded

I come from the hometown of Tony Farrell, Blue Thunder will always be on top!
I will never forget biggest air of blue thunder
Wow now I know more about blue thunder
Evolution of mohawk warrior?
Not to put a damp on it but not much to talk about. An Escalade, A black Escalade, Mohawk warrior, Great clips, not much.
Blue thunder is the goat,RIP Tony farrel
Do the evolution of team scream
Love it
blue thunder is favorite
i love the urben asslalt music at 16:12
Correction, Todd’s 2011 chassis was the 2002 chassis lyle Hancock drove

I like the Ford Super duty body but like the color scheme of the f150
Blue thunder on a camero body would be neat ; )
Blue thunder is the best He's my favorite
Why did they retire monster energy? 17:19
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.
Anyone else miss wen the trucks would break really easily and have flat tires
Yea. It's a safety reason tho. I guess.
You didn’t mention about tony ferralas death rip tony 🪦
what if red Thunder was a Chevy ...?
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..
Can u do El Toro Loco next plz???
All the blue thunder truck ran in Salinas
2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 (in a tv show world's toughest jobs), 2009 and 2010
10:47 😂👍
The original blue thunder was a old Camaro I thought
it was and i remember hearing it had a hemi in it
RIP to Tony Ferrell & Dalton Millican
Anyone else here because they fell in love with Blue Thunder because of the Monster Jam PS2 video game?
I wouldn't mind seeing it return as a super duty tremor or the raptor body style like bigfoot
I like to imagine this started as ford’s monster jam OC that they wanted to make real
Predator has been in this sport for a while
my Monster Jam favourite truck, getting a video of his evolution, OF COURSE I WILL SEE IT
I think you forgot to mention the international shows Blue Thunder was in the late 2000s
Next time can you do the evolution of El Toro loco I am sub
13:02 my hometown show
As a matter of fact I played as blue thunder in the monster jam DS game
I prefer the older style trucks than the newer ones but maybe that's just my inner 90's talking
Do evolution of king krunch or evolution of cam McQueen or northern nightmare
King krunch sucked lol
I prefer the old design
Anyone notice the giant sub?
6:55 words frist back flip
Do a evolution of black stallion
we he did an explosion meme when blue thunder broke his shocks that scared me and i thought that what really happened
El toro Loco next

Evolution of Overkill Evolution lol
I want to see monster talk about zombie
Please do the hotwheels monster jam team
