2018 Ford F-150 RTR Concept Truck

Wonder if this concept is trying to compete with the Raptor?

NEW 2018 FORD F-150 RTR MUSCLE TRUCK

sounds like they're going more at the street crowd with lowering the truck. Vaughn Gittin Jr. is a drifter.

from other SEMA coverage sources:

"The truck is powered by a modified 5-liter V8 delivering 600 horsepower...The powertrain also includes a Magna Flow performance exhaust.

Ford says the chassis features enhanced travel coilovers and rear dampers, an extended double wishbone suspension system, a heavy-duty rear axle, payload maximizer springs and Currie Enterprises full floating hubs."

"And this isn’t just a one-off build. Ford says like the Mustang RTR, the F-150 RTR Muscle Truck will be available at Ford dealers across the U.S."

another report said, "As of yet, Ford has no plans to put Vaughn Gittin's muscle truck into production (sadly)."

so not sure which is right...maybe Ford made some announcement at SEMA ??

But it also states:

"specially tuned RTR long-travel coilover suspension and stout RTR Tech 6 Off-Road wheels wrapped in 33-inch Nitto Ridge Grappler tires."

Think it probably will hit production - press release notes that pricing will be released at some point:

No details that I can see on the engine, whether is N/A or Boosted.

With the fender clearance shown in the pictures and long-travel coilover suspension the bump stops would have to be the body...OUCH!

Maybe it's the pics, but those flares look weird.

I agree. I think the fender flares are weird too.

Then there will be a F150 RTR forum where people are berated for lifting them/adding offroad tires and praised for lowering them [emoji23]

How will this truck successfully navigate mall “traffic calming” (speed bumps) devices? It might be ok in starbucks drive thru
