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!

Bill B. Shares an Update on His Mk5 Build

Every build has a story—but some take a lifetime to begin. After decades as a technician, engineer, and business owner—building companies, leading teams, and designing critical communications systems across New England—I decided at 50 to return to where it all started: a passion for cars. That decision became Blue Hills Customs. This MK5 Roadster is more than a project—it’s the first expression of a vision to create ultra-premium, one-off roadsters that blend classic design with modern performance and reliability. Factory Five Racing provided the perfect canvas. The MK5 isn’t just a kit—it’s a foundation that allows builders to bring something truly… Read More »
