Factory Five’s Taylor D. Shows Off the XTF

“Right from work Friday afternoon, I took off in our XTF Extreme Truck to hit up a local car show in Berkley, MA ran by All Wheels Association,” said Taylor. “Even leaving the parking lot of work, I had a smile ear to ear and immediately put it in sport mode of course! Getting to the show, no one knew what I was driving. The XTF definitely got some looks, and sparked some great conversations.”

“The next morning, I had to drive the truck back to Factory Five. I made sure to take all back roads just enjoying the ride and nice weather. Even on the highway it handled so smooth. I truly feel you get the best of both worlds: fun and function.”

“It was a last minute opportunity to take the XTF Truck on Friday, and I am glad I did!”

Taylor has been at Factory Five as a welder for over 8 years including working on the new XTF frames. We are lucky to have her on our team here at Factory Five, and we appreciate the hard work of employees like her that helps us all enjoy this lifestyle. Thank you Taylor, and glad you had fun driving the XTF!
