There was no shortage of weird
trucks at this year's SEMA show in Las Vegas. Raised, stanced, slammed
and widened – American work vehicles were stretched and pulled in every
direction to create amazing show pieces with little to no practicality
left.
We didn't, however, notice that Forgiato had a widebody F-150. That's right, the most popular vehicle in America is now riding low, like a Lamborghini supercar. And the best thing about it is that this project is bang-up-to-date, a 2015 model year with the aluminum bits.
The F-150 widebody kit was built by a company called Wide_Body_Kings / TS Designs. They're responsible for some of the most amazing Forgiato custom projects, including those killer corvettes with huge wings.
To help the truck "roll" the right way, Forgiato have bestowed it with a set of their 24-inch F2.19 wheels. They've intentionally chosen a sleek, super-light wheel design to help them clash with the traditional look of a truck and make you go "are those racecar wheels on an F-150? Cool."
Ford actually touched on the Forgiato F-150 very briefly in a press statement back in October, just before SEMA. They said Octavio “Topo” Villafana, the boss of TS Designs, is known for his all-metal conversions, which have most prominently been seen in the Mustangs used in the movie “Need for Speed.”
Beside the extra amor, the F-150 also boasts a Vortech supercharger, Gibson exhaust, Belltech lowering kit, ARE tonneau cover, Alpine audio/video upgrades and Roadwire leather seating.
