Blue Oval’s on- and off-road performance capability will be on display
Ford
is bringing highly modified F-150s and Mustangs to the 2019 SEMA Show
to demonstrate its performance cred on and off the pavement. All three
F-150s are based on non-Raptor variants while the two Mustangs on
display will include a coupe and convertible.
The first of three F-150s is the Ford Accessories Ford F-150
Lariat Sport Crew Cab with the Black Appearance package. It features
Ford Performance parts such as a raised Fox-tuned off-road suspension
for improved approach, departure, and breakover angles, as well as Rigid
LED lighting and a Borla cat-back exhaust. The Black Appearance package
adds 22-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ P3 tires,
a custom exterior splatter graphic, and interior accents matched with
the truck's exterior. Under the hood is Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6.

Robert Marketing and Attitude Performance will show off a special Ford F-150
XLT SuperCrew FX4 featuring a special exterior promoting Black Rifle
Coffee Co. and Kryptek Outdoor Group, both of which are veteran-owned
companies. The exterior design was created by CPV Paint & Graphics
and Soundz Plus to help this F-150 stand out even more. Like the Ford
Accessories F-150, this one also comes packing Ford Performance parts
like a Borla exhaust with black tips, a BDS Suspension six-inch lift
kit, and Fox 2.5 remote reservoir coil overs. Cosmetic enhancements
include Warn Industries bumpers and fender flares, a Yakima Load Warrior
basket roof rack, Rigid Off-Road LED lighting, a winch, and camouflage
vinyl graphics. Inside you'll find a refrigerator, Katzkin leather
seats, a Rockford Fosgate audio system, a Switch Pros eight-switch power

The third custom F-150 was designed in partnership with Drag Racing
Against Gangs & Graffiti (DRAGG), a non-profit youth afterschool
program that encourages younger people to go into the auto industry.
Called the Desert Defender, this particular Ford F-150 is based on the
Lariat Sport SuperCrew 4x4 model and packs the most go-fast goods of the
three pickup trucks. It's equipped with a Ford Performance
supercharger, a cold air intake and cat-back exhaust from Borla, a BDS
Suspension six-inch lift kit, Fox racing shocks, Wilwood performance
brakes, DSM&T Co. harnesses and fasteners, and 20-inch Fifteen52
TurboMac wheels shod in BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires. Other
additions include a Warn Industries recovery kit, a chase rack, rock
slider side steps, the Black Appearance package, a Federal Signal police
lighting package from West Coast Lights & Sirens, a Kicker audio
system, and a honey badger rear spare tire rack from American Truck. The
body wrap was done by Ford Vehicle Personalization.
