XTF Truck Chassis #6 Ships Out!

The newest Factory Five is picking up speed as Stewart Transport has loaded truck number 006 heading out to the crew from Devil Mountain Diesels in northern California. Production is now at one chassis per week, and we are excited to see customer builds and complete trucks out there.

(Left to Right): Eric from Stewart Transport, Dave Smith, Nate Johnson, Ricky Bobby with kit number 006!

(Above & Below): Nate and Eric discuss loading the new kit. This is the second truck kit that Stewart has taken and Eric’s first.

The XTF chassis weighs 800 lbs. and is 17′ long, so handling and logistics are a challenge. One accommodation is that the XTF comes with four heavy-duty swivel casters making moving and loading easier.

Production carbon fiber panels arrived a few weeks ago, and are being fit in R&D before they are released for sale.

We are excited to see XTF truck kits begin to ship. If you would like to build yours, we have production dates available in the next three months.
