Ford F-350 Super Duty by Superlift Suspensions
If this F-350 seems like it should be a Matchbox die-cast, take heart: It will be. (If you’re in the industry and stop by the Ford stand at SEMA—the show is closed to the public—they’ll gladly give you one. The toy, that is.) The Matchbox Superlift Brush Truck features a 10-inch lift kit to make room for its ginormous 41-inch Interco tires; this bruiser’s nominal point is to fight fires in the most remote settings. Sprayed in PPG’s “Oh, So Orange” paint, the brush truck is a fully equipped emergency vehicle with lights, sirens, and a bed full of firefighting equipment. We promise video if they let us test the water cannon at the show.
Ford F-350 Super Duty by Hulst Customs
Another Super Duty, but at the opposite end of the spectrum is this “Black Mamba” (did the truck name itself? Shout out to Kobe!) from Hulst Customs. Featuring a Hulst hood, a grille that’s almost an exact replica of a Bentley Mulsanne‘s, a custom front fascia with LED lights, and rocker extensions, this F-350 takes the low ‘n’ slow approach. The interior is covered in Katzkin leather and has a smattering of aluminum trim pieces. Did we mention the rear suicide doors with the Scissor Doors billet hinge kit? Yeah.
Ford F-150 EcoBoost by Skyjacker Suspensions
The “Project No Compromises” F-150 is said to be aimed at “drivers who want to go green without sacrificing performance”—did we miss the news about lifted pickups being green? Jacked up four inches thanks to the Skyjacker lift kit, the EcoBoost F-150 also has Bushwacker fender flares, a brush guard, big wheels and tires, and a MagnaFlow cat-back dual exhaust system. Somehow we doubt this will qualify for an environmental tax credit.
Ford F-150 by CGS Performance Products
CGS Performance has created its take on a modern Ford Lightning. Dubbed “Tarmac,” this F-150 is hopped up by a Whipple twin-screw supercharger, CGS Performance cold-air intake and cat-back exhaust, a Bell Tech coil-over suspension, and Colorado Custom billet wheels. The rims fit over six-piston Baer brakes with 15-inch rotors. The grille is custom, as is the aluminum hood, and we have to admit that truck looks pretty menacing with its jet-black paint and red striping. Well done.
