RTR Vehicles ‘Ready to Rock’ Production-ready F-150 RTR
Unveiled at SEMA 2017, drift king Vaughn Gittin Jr’s take on the F-150 includes a supercharged 5.0-liter V8.
A year ago at SEMA 2017, drifting superstar Vaughn Gittin Jr teamed up with Ford to build and show a high-performance concept based on the F-150. The result was the Ford F-150 RTR Concept.
As of 2019, the concept from RTR Vehicles (the RTR stands for “Ready to Rock”) will be available in the showroom. According to Motor Authority, the truck and its individual components will hit the production line sometime in the first quarter of the new year.
“I am a longtime fan of the entire F Series lineup and the new F-150s are just mind-blowing on all fronts,” Gittin Jr said to Motor Authority. “Expanding RTR into the Ford F-150 model has been a goal since day one.”
The centerpiece of the production F-150 RTR is a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 putting out over 600 horsepower. The power hits the pavement or dusty trail through a set of 33-inch Nitto off-road tires wrapped over a custom set of RTR wheels. Suspension includes specially tuned long-travel coilovers, and a styling package with fender flares, RTR graphics and badging, and skid plate are among the modifications RTR Vehicles has made to the F-150.
No other specs have been revealed at this time, nor the price for a fully kitted-out F-150 RTR. RTR Vehicles plans to sell many of the parts that make up their take on the F-150 individually for those who might not have Raptor money, let alone what the full F-150 RTR will cost. Whether you opt for a full build or take it one piece at a time, though, the parts are dealer-installed; thus, your truck’s warranty will remain intact.
