Newest Harley-Davidson F-150 is a Motorcycle-inspired Masterpiece
F-150 built by Tuscany has a unique look and some key performance upgrades.
Ford has offered a handful of Harley-Davidson-themed F-Series trucks over the years, but the newest F-150 with motorcycle inspiration doesn’t come from the Motor Company. Tuscany Motor has offered a collection of customized F-Series pickups over the course of the past decade, including the bright yellow Tonka truck that is often shared in social media networks. Tuscany has also used the Chicago Auto Show to feature their latest Ford products and 2020 was no different, with their newest F-150 drawing a ton of attention.
This time, Tuscany teamed up with Ford and Harley-Davidson to recreate the motorcycle-themed F-150, and since it is not a factory package, it is far more elaborate than past models. In other words, the newest Harley-Davidson F-150 is the most impressive to date, with upgrades inside, outside, under the truck and under the hood.
Harley-Davidson Look
Harley-Davidson motorcycles are known for orange logos, lots of black paint, lots of chrome trim and lots of leather on the seats, bags and riders. Tuscany applied those familiarities to the new Ford F-150 and the result is a truck that looks great inside and out.
On the outside, the Harley-Davidson F-150 begins up front with a uniquely painted grille, bumper cover and honeycomb inserts, all of which are painted body color with bright orange trim. There is an LED light bar tucked behind the custom front fascia, along with painted tow hooks. The front end is topped off with a functional ram air hood.
As you move around to the sides, you are greeted by an array of Harley-Davidson badging and the most interesting feature of the exterior; the 22-inch wheels. These “Fatboy style” rollers have huge center sections, thin spokes and Harley branding on the wheel and the wheel center. When coupled with the wheel flares, the power running boards and the Harley badging, the side-view leaves no question that this is an extraordinary F-150.
Out back, there is a large Harley-Davidson font logo that runs across the tailgate, a uniquely painted bumper and a hard tonneau cover with the Harley shield logo. Under the tonneau, there is a Harley-Davidson-branded bed rug.
On the inside, the Tuscany Harley-Davidson F-150 has unique black leather seats with bright orange stitching, including quilted center sections. That black leather is common throughout the cabin, with more of it on the dash, the door panels and the center console, with orange trim and plenty of Harley-Davidson logos.
Fine details include Harley-Davidson logos in the unique gauge cluster with stainless steel gauge faces, billet aluminum pedals and a numbered badge on the center console armrest.
Performance Upgrades
The first performance upgrade for the Tuscany Harley-Davidson F-150 is the unique wheel-and-tire package, but there are other key modifications. First, a BDS suspension setup with Fox shocks, all of which was designed specifically for this package, provide the aggressive stance and improved off-road capabilities. When coupled with the 35-inch off-road tires, this package is surely a beast in the mud, but we don’t imagine that many buyers pick one of these up with the intention of barreling through the woods.
Next up, there is a Flowmaster exhaust system with dark billet tips that feature orange trim that lets the 5.0-liter V8 announce its presence. This system was designed to give this F-150 a similar roar to the modern Harley-Davidson motorcycles, even though the power plants of the two vehicles are very different.
Finally, while this is not part of the package on the Tuscany website, the truck on display in Chicago was fitted with a Whipple supercharger that lifts the output past the 700 mark. There is no mention of a supercharged upgrade on the website, so this may be something that the company has recently introduced, but with or without the supercharger, this new Harley-Davidson F-150 is a showstopper.
The only downside to the Tuscany Harley-Davidson F-150 is the price, as the package without mention of the supercharger starts at $97,415. That includes the truck itself, but that is still a big chunk of change for a half-ton truck. However, when you consider the cost of a modern Harley-Davidson motorcycle, fans of the brand are likely to have the disposable income to buy this F-150.
