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!

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 »
