Trevor L.’s Impressive Factory Five XTF build!

Congratulations to Trevor L. from Melbourne, Florida on his impressive Factory Five XTF build! Trevor turned his truck into a high-performance machine in just over three months. “We received the XTF kit on 4/29/24 and had it completed and on the road by 8/15/24.”

Starting with a 2016 Ford F-150 Lariat FX4 donor, Trevor transformed his truck into a high-performance machine! Under the hood, he packed a 5.0L Coyote V8 engine with a Whipple supercharger pushing 700 HP, paired with a 6-speed transmission and electric locking rear differential for serious power and control.

The carbon fiber body, off-road front bumper, and Fuel 20” wheels wrapped in 37” BF Goodrich KO2 tires make this XTF ready for any terrain. With 12,000+ miles logged as his daily driver in Florida, it’s built to perform. Trevor also installed a Factory Five tow hitch and has a rear sway bar and panhard bar ready for future upgrades.

Trevor’s passion for performance doesn’t stop at trucks—he and his dad collect and restore WSBK-winning motorcycles, showcasing their eye for engineering excellence. Even Factory Five President Dave Smith was impressed by his XTF and motorcycle collection!

Trevor and his dad are considering a Factory Five Mk4 or Mk5 Roadster for their next build. We can’t wait to see what Trevor will be up to next!
