С 2011 года профессиональный гонщик Вон Гиттин-младший силами принадлежащей ему компании RTR Vehicles выпускает мощные Ford Mustang и компоненты для тюнинга этого спорткара.
В 2019 году фирма впервые решила изменить привычной модели и обратить внимание на другой автомобиль Ford, представив первый проект по тюнингу пикапа F-150. В отличие от хардкорного заводского Ford F-150 Raptor новый RTR F-150 не выглядит нарочито внедорожным. Проект скорее подходит на роль универсального пикапа, на котором можно буксировать прицеп со спортивным RTR Mustang.
RTR F-150 получил особую графику на кузове, накладки на колёсные арки, новую решётку радиатора, защиту переднего бампера и дополнительную светодиодную оптику. 20-дюймовые колёса Tech 6 обуты во внедорожные покрышки Nitto Ridge Grappler.

Машину оснастили подвеской на компонентах Fox, которая позволила увеличить дорожный просвет, а также спортивной выхлопной системой Ford Performance с более агрессивным звучанием.
В салоне RTR F-150 предусмотрен только разве что шильдик с автографом Вон Гиттина-младшего да особые коврики, но для Ford F-150 с тканевым салоном можно заказать кожаную обивку сидений. Если за основу взят пикап в более богатой комплектации (тюнинг от RTR Vehicles доступен для всех версий, кроме Raptor), то он сохраняет стандартную отделку.
Набор доработок от RTR Vehicles добавляет к стоимости исходного автомобиля $12 750 сверху.

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, APRIL 23, 2019 — After a successful decade of developing and producing the Ford Mustang RTR—as well as RTR’s line of aftermarket parts that compliment Mustang owners who want to stand out from the crowd—the new Ford F-150 RTR becomes RTR’s second publicly available vehicle model outfitted with RTR’s signature modern-aggressive design and enhanced performance that is available to consumers from RTR Vehicles. The F-150 RTR package is now available at select Ford dealers in regions where the F-150 is sold. The F-150 RTR launch follows the soon to be released collaboration with Ford performance, ‘The Series 1 Ford Mustang RTR Powered by Ford Performance’.
Inspired by the incredibly popular F-150 Ultimate Fun-Haver and the award-winning F-150 RTR Muscle Truck, the F-150 RTR joins the RTR Vehicles lineup for 2019. Available for all F-150 trim levels (excluding the Ford Raptor), the F-150 RTR increases the functionality and enhances the overall design; offering capability both on and off the road; having fun or making the daily commute.
“Ford’s Iconic F-150 has evolved into so much more than just a pickup truck, with diverse capability on and off road, great technology integration, serious towing capability and an interior that makes any travel with friends and family very comfortable,” said RTR Vehicles’ President and RTR’s resident Professional Fun-Haver, Vaughn Gittin Jr. Gittin continues, “We [RTR] felt the time was right for us to bring all the things our Mustang RTR owners have grown to love into the truck market. I cannot wait for my fellow truck lovers everywhere to see just how capable and fun the F-150 RTR is whether you are road tripping with the family, carrying supplies or shopping bags, doing some towing, enjoying the trails and roads less traveled, or spraying roost during some off-road excursions. The goal was to take the already impressive capabilities of the F-150 and enhance the owner and driving experience whether on or off-road.”
The RTR exterior design package includes signature RTR upper grille with LED lighting, modern aggressive fender flares to catch the rocks and mud RTR expects its owners to toss in the air, a beefy off-road ready front skid plate and a unique graphics package. The interior proudly displays a serialized dash plaque signed by Vaughn Gittin Jr. and an optional RTR-designed and branded leather interior for those customers that want to build from a less optioned F-150.
Tasteful and tested performance modifications allow the driver to feel the road, hear the power and conquer whatever life, or their lifestyle, throws at them. Fox 2.0 Coilover and Shock package; a Ford Performance cat-back sport exhaust for an enhanced sound and excellent driving experience; along with custom 20-inch RTR Tech 6 Off-Road wheels in satin charcoal wrapped in off road capable—yet on-road compliant—Nitto Ridge Grapplers offer the best of both worlds. The F-150 RTR is a multi-purpose machine capable of performing a wide range of tasks.
The new F-150 RTR is available to order now and package pricing starts at $12,750, which can be added to any F-150 trim level (excluding Raptor). Visit RTRVehicles.com to build your F-150 RTR today.
