9 Best Ford Trucks from SEMA 2016

1. Rolling Big Power 2016 F-150

Rolling Big Power, or RBP, started with parts to hop up big 3/4 and 1 ton diesel trucks, and have since moved into 1/2 tons, Jeeps and other SUVs. For SEMA they rounded up a bunch of awesome projects from their customers, like this 2016 F-150 which belongs to Alma Molina. First it got an 8" Maxtrac lift, 22" Mamba wheels by RBP, and 37" Tri-Ace tires. The off-road-ready bumpers are by Road Armor, and the flared composite fenders are by Fiberwerx. You can bet this truck could go anywhere and come back in one piece, though it may be too nice to get dirty.

2. Baja F-150 Raptor Race Truck

That last truck may just look ready for off road, but this one is the real deal 2017 Raptor being raced in the Baja 1000. The amazing thing about this F-150 is that it is mostly stock, save for safety gear and a roll cage. Of course it has more aggressive wheels and tires on it than the street truck will have, but the ride height and suspension is right off the showroom floor. Under the hood is the stock EcoBoost V6, though, of course, some things have been upgraded, like the air filter, for the 1000 mile off-road race.

3. Dueling Ford Transit Connect Audio Trucks

This is not two pictures of the same custom stereo display Ford Transit Connect, but it seems Cerwin Vega and Rockford Fosgate both made the same choices in vehicle and paint schemes for this year's SEMA show. If you are the kind of car/truck guy who spends a ton on a massive stereo, then either of these vans are sure to work for you. The only real solution is to take them both outside and see which one is louder and better sounding. If you aren't just filling it with amps and speakers, or you are hauling the type that you plug an electric guitar into, the Transit Connect is a great, practical, easy-to-drive cargo van that gets good mileage.

4. Super Bowl MVP Von Miller's Custom Raptor

Von Miller of the Denver Broncos was named MVP at the Super Bowl last year, which is why he called this Ford Raptor the MVP edition. With the help of Five R Trucks and the TV show Lifted Life, they applied a ton of custom off-road and interior tricks to it to make it into a one-of-a-kind beast. Then, they auctioned the truck off on eBay to benefit Von's Vision, his charity that provides glasses and eye exams for poor children. Besides the obvious modification, the truck also has a Roush supercharger kit to give it close to 600hp from the 6.2-liter V8. The truck raised $65,000 when the auction closed on 11/14.

5. A.R.E. Accessories F-150

This is one flashy F-150! The gold paint job certainly makes this truck stand out and is definitely way too nice to play in the dirt. It does nicely show off the A.R.E CX series cap on the back, with a power lift system allowing you to load taller objects. N-FAB made the front bumper/skid plate, the suspension is by Skyjacker, and Fuel made the wheels. The interior is all tricked out, too, with custom leather, TV screens and a powerful audio system.

6. Deberti Wide Body F-150 Raptor

Deberti Design took a factory Raptor and added 6" of width to the body to cover the other modifications. The custom, long-travel suspension now has more than two feet of travel in the rear wheels and 19 inches up front. It rides on 39 inch tires mounted to beadlock wheels. The custom lighting and full roll cage means this truck is pretty much ready to race, or at the very least pre-run the Baja 1000 course.

7. Bojix Designs F-150 Crew Cab

Another custom F-150 on the Ford Performance stand was this super crew by Bojix Design which has many tricks you'd expect on a tuner car. This truck is not a Raptor, but started with the basic twin turbo 3.5-liter V6, adding bigger turbos and a less restrictive system. The suspension is Fox coilover at all four corners, and Brembo brakes slow things down when the time comes. It also features a 7-inch lift by Ready Lift, and 37-inch Nitto tires on Grid Off Road 22 inch wheels.

8. TS Designs Super Duty F-250

Remember when slammed 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks were everywhere? TS Designs does, and they have built an awesome Super Duty F-250 that updates the look for 2017. Starting with a crew cab equipped with the new 6.2-liter V8, they added a Whipple supercharger to the stock 385hp/430lb-ft of torque to haul serious ass. Wide body flairs hide 26 inch wheels by Forgiato, and Atlas Spring takes care of lowering it. This is not an F-250 you are going to take down to the quarry to fill with gravel.

9. Mad Industries Super Duty F-350

There weren't many new Super Duty F-350 trucks at SEMA, but this one from Mad Industries sports an evil look. It is lowered slightly, without loosing the cargo and towing capacity. Crazy looking 28-inch Fuel Off Road FF19 wheels are wrapped in low profile tires that hardly seem able to carry the weight of the truck, but are forged and made for this application. Then they spend their time blacking out bright trim and tinting headlights for the sinister look.

10. Hulst Customs F150

There are so many raised, off road trucks this year, because of the new Raptor, it is refreshing to see a slammed street machine for a change. This one if not just a pretending though, it features a supercharged 5.0 liter V8, now tuned for over 700hp. Putting the power to the ground is a custom 4-link suspension in the back, and modified stock front suspension on air bags. Those are 26 inch wheels by Lexani, with 295/30 tires on the front, and 305 30 out back. A custom body kit by Striker replaces the bumper covers, grill and hood vents, then adds custom rockers, front air splitter, visor and more.
