Custom F-150s by RAD Rides are Sublime

Rad Rides Kevlar F-150

It’s hard to improve upon the F-150, but these lifted custom builds are solid standouts. 

Remember the beginning of the TV show The Six Million Dollar Man? Oscar Goldman says “We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster.” Well the F-150 is not Steve Austin in need of any bionic repairs, but RAD Rides is a lot like Oscar Goldman. The Garland, Texas based company is a 4×4 dealer, parts, and accessories shop that goes bold. They take the F-150 and build it better, stronger, faster, and in addition to all that, even cooler.

We love this custom build. The matte DuPont Gray Kevlar coating is simple, sleek, and absolutely head-turning. The Kevlar really accentuates the tough stance and attitude of the F-150. And RAD Rides does a flawless job, giving the exterior an organic texture that pops.

The build focuses on making this F-150 a fully capable 4×4 monster. They add a height with a Pro Comp 6″ lift kit, add fuel wheels, and Toyo Open Country Tires. The end result is a durable and versatile truck with a sleek and badass presence.

This red menace comes in a Magma Red Metallic coating. The color is bold and works perfectly with the F-150. The exterior also includes window tint, and RADX custom decals.

The F-150 is off-road ready, with a Pro Comp 6″ lift kit, fuel Vector wheels, Toyo M/T Open Country 35″ tires. They do a spray in bed liner, add shock boots, and locking lug nuts. It’s a rugged build that looks imposing and performs like a beast.

What do you think of these F-150s? What would be your dream build?
