THIS TRUCK IS UNBELIEVABLE !!! The entire project took more than a year to complete and at a cost of well over $150,000 !!! A six door truck conversion cost $54k just to stretch your donor vehicle !!! The truck was purchased as a BRAND NEW crew cab Lariat XLT cab and chassis from an Authorized Ford dealership with 0 miles on the clock and then the transformation began. A Brand New entire cab assembly and bed/fender assembly was also purchased from the Ford dealership in order to convert this trucks cab into a 6 door and to modify the short dually bed. THERE WERE NO SALVAGE OR REPRO PARTS USED ANYWHERE IN THIS BUILD !!! Now let's go more in depth on what this truck offers in customized features. We felt that if the fuel tank had to be relocated, why not make it large or better yet really large for long distance traveling ? There is a 100 gallon custom fuel cell that runs the length of the drivers side (underneath) and it has a custom electric blower system to displace the fumes. The truck has a completely custom air bag system with Commercial Duty Firestone Airide air bags and an on-board Heavy Duty compressor with external valves. There is also a custom fabricated trailer hitch with a tow capacity of 20,000 lbs. Needless to say it has never even had a trailer tongue installed in it because this truck has never towed anything ! It has electric trailer brakes with an in-cab controller as well. Installed on the front and rear are Road Armor bumpers and a front tubular Road Armor grill guard. A set of tubular side nerf bars were custom fabricated to simulate the exact style and look of the Road Armor bumpers. Genuine PIAA offroad lights were installed in the front and rear bumpers. The front bumper has a Warn 12,000 lbs electric wench with the optional remote control. In the bed of the truck there is a under the bed rail black anodized Trail FX tool box and locking roll-up hard bed cover. The bed and tailgate are of course Rhino lined. The truck sports a set of custom 19.5'' polished forged aluminum Brentz wheels with a brand new full size Brentz aluminum matching spare with Goodyear tire in the bed. The wheels are wrapped in Goodyear 245/70R19.5 all terrain tires which have plenty of life left on them. Now let's discuss the interior of this vehicle .... THIS INTERIOR IS INSANE !!!! Everything , everywhere is covered in brown Alcatara suede and Italian leather !!!! The entire dashboard (top and bottom) ,kick panels, A,B,C and D pillars, headliner, sun visors, door panels etc... are all covered in yards of luxurious suede. Even the carpet and floormats were replaced with custom cut matching brown pile, which goes to show that everything about this truck was meticulously designed and well thought out. The seats are custom bolster seats with lumbar support that were refinished in Italian leather with simulated ostrich inserts. The rear seating is a custom 3 panel seat that reclines electrically and can lay perfectly flat in order to make a bed. One of the trucks electronic interior amenities is Direct TV satellite. There is a custom 40" Sharp Aquos plasma that electrically drops down from the ceiling for viewing and electrically raises back up and out of sight when you are finished viewing. The satellite dish is on top of the truck, concealed by a roof mounted steel/painted cover. There is also a dash mounted Pioneer DVD player (with back-up camera), a sun visor monitor and a separate DVD player for the rear so that the driver and front passenger can watch a separate DVD or source than the rear passengers simultaneously. The truck is protected by a Clifford remote start alarm with an LCD readout. I'm sure that after all I've written I've still forgotten to mention many key features of this one of a kind truck

2015 Ford F-150 shaves 700 pounds, adds 2.7-liter EcoBoost [w/video]
Mon, 13 Jan 2014The Ford F-150 is one of the best selling vehicles on the planet. Considering that, one can imagine that when it comes time for a redesign, there are hardly any half measures. For its lucky thirteenth generation, Ford has gone all-in on the single most important vehicle in its portfolio, redesigning it from the ground up.
The big news is the F-150's new, lightweight, Atlas-inspired body. Ninety-three percent of that new body is made from a sort of aluminum alloy not unlike what the US military uses in its M2 Bradley fighting vehicles and Humvees, and it accounts for up to 70 percent of the F-150's 700-pound weight reduction. As a side benefit, the aluminum body should prove more resistant to dents and dings. Built Ford tough, indeed.
If you're wondering where the other 30 percent of that 700-pound weight loss went, 8.5 percent (60 pounds) came from the increased use of high-strength steel (up from 23 percent to 77 percent) in its ladder-box frame. Ford claims this steel is comparable to some of the heavy duty pickups used by its competitors, with a PSI rating of 70,000.
