In general, yes. It is an ego trip us Lightning owners have created for ourselves.
However, I believe that certain SuperDuty, ie, F250 and F350 owners, can also use that designation as their vehicles were released for production rather long after the normal F150 vehicles were.
This was discussed elsewhere, and to my recollection, no-ones title or window sticker or other official paperwork describes either a Lightning or a Superduty as a 99.5.
I took so much flak on this issue earlier that I changed my signature which you can read below.

Interestingly enough, although nothing "official" from FMC has been published (at least for public consumption) with the '99.5 designation, I noticed several factory references to the "99.5 Lightning" in some of the purloined Ford documents published on the BON website.
