‘The Red Night’ Rises at SEMA 2017
Five-R Trucks’ custom-build Bronco is an odds-on favorite in Vegas.
SEMA Show 2017 is getting underway in Las Vegas, showcasing the new, the innovative, and just plain awesome in all things automotive. Already, there are some vehicles that are destined to become fan favorites. Of course, we’re partial to the Ford trucks, of course, and this rough and ready beast seems a solid early contender.
Named “The Red Night,” this custom build by Golden, Colorado-based Five-R Trucks takes a 1996 Ford Bronco and transforms it into a serious, powerful off-roading machine. It’s packed with practical mods for better performance and has virtually everything necessary to tackle the toughest terrain, including Fusion bumpers, Fab Fours roof rack, and the Line-X Ultra Liner. Not that this badass Bronco needed any more macho points, but the bold black streaks across the body give it an extra edge that Mad Max would appreciate.
Five-R Trucks’ “Red Night” boasts impressive specs — 5.0L Coyote engine, E400 transmission, Fox 2.0 RR shocks, and Tom Woods driveshafts — and delivers maximum performance. Yes, this mean machine has got brains and looks.
Check out these first-look images from SEMA of this hardcore modified machinery. It’s a stand-out Ford truck that is likely the first in an army of awesome trucks that are due to show up at SEMA. F-150 Online is on the scene in Sin City and will be sure to share our best Ford truck finds, especially the F-Series, as they roll into town.
