Ride of the Week is BACK! (Official Submission Thread)

Hey, folks, Michael here from the front page editorial team. I wasn't working at FTE when the Ride of the Week (RotW) section effectively ended in 2014, but I'd love to try bringing it back, both here and on our front page. My only goal is to give all of us a chance to show off and celebrate our members' awesome and unique rides. Simple. Quick. Fun.




Interested in having your Ford become an official FTE Ride of the Week? Great. We'll mostly be showing off Ford tucks and SUVs. But if you have anything cool from Ford, Mercury, or Lincoln, we're open to that too. So if you own a cool Ford
  1. Post a comment below in this thread with 4 or more PHOTOS (they should be widescreen and at least 1K pixels wide)
  2. Share as many details about your truck as you can (spec, mods, color, any stories)
  3. OPTIONAL -- include links to YouTube or Instagram videos
  4. OPTIONAL – feel free to share something about yourself

That’s it!

Thanks so much for reading and we hope to see your trucks here and all over the forum. Thank you so very much for being a part of the Ford Truck Enthusiasts community. You can also find us on —

Cool!

Usually I stumble across these threads after they have a thousand pages of posts. It will be fun to get into this one early!

What about making it Ride Of The Month instead of Ride of the week? Have 5 submissions and let the Club Members vote (for club and non club member ROTM submissions) through some sort of notification.

Weekly submissions start off strong and then tend to fade off to where the ROTW effort is non-existent... just my .02

I'm on other sites that do just that, and works well. They even offer a prize of a $50 Harbor Freight gift card.
Worth a shot, it just has to be more visible than this thread is.

@firstrider Amazing truck! Just sent you a DM to see if you'd like to do an interview about it for the front page. Cheers!

Yeah, a blown head gasket or bent rod is just kid stuff compared to losing a furry loyal companion.
