MotorTrend on NEW Factory Five XT1

Posted on November 9, 2022 by in What's New

Great article from MotorTrend on the new Factory Five Extreme Truck.

“Who doesn’t want to take their Ford F-150 and turn it into a prerunner or homebrew Raptor beater? Fun as that idea is, most people lack the equipment or fabrication skills to make a proper chassis and modifications for such a project.
