DG Motorsports' 2005 F-150 BOSS

A Throwback to 2006

A prominent feature at the 2006 SEMA Show, this DG Motorsports 2005 Ford F-150 BOSS represents the legendary character of two all-time great Ford products. The Oceanside, California-based shop has given the Ford pickup truck the sporty muscle car characteristics of the 1970 Mustang BOSS 302.

DG Motorsports

No stranger to building noteworthy Ford trucks, the folks at DG Motorsports started this particular project out with a standard 2005 F-150 off the factory line. The goal was to transform this regular truck with a vintage muscle car look and feel. So the first order of business was adjusting the stance.

Go-Fast Ford Truck

Not dissimilar from the philosophy behind the Lightning series of Ford trucks, the builder gave the F-150 a lowered ride height, capped off by 22-and 24-inch Kaotik Menis chrome wheels wearing Pirelli rubber. This not only gave the truck a faster look but also provided a massive improvement in handling.

Visual Mods

With the stance properly adjusted, it was time for DG Motorsports designers to turn their attention to the bodywork. The team equipped the F-150 with their custom front bumper cover, side skirts, and a one-piece rear roll pan. Other visual modifications include a Classic Design Concepts shaker hood, a  steel-mesh grille, a rear decklid spoiler, Leer tonneau cover, and Mustang-inspired taillight covers. The addition of BOSS stripes on the sides and down the center of the truck completes the look.

Climbing Inside

Having finished the multi-layer pearl paintwork and finished the exterior upgrades, they turned their attention to the cabin. Here you will find upgrades in the form of a Sony head unit working in tandem with the Sony 10-inch subwoofers and Sonic Technologies I Beams system. Stitchcraft handled the upholstery of the seats, which features leather and red suede.

Power Upgrade

With the body taken care of, it was time to give some attention to the power source. The plan was always to enhance the stock 5.4-liter engine's 300-horsepower output. And that enhancement came in the form of a Vortech centrifugal supercharger. The blown motor is capable of putting 300 horses down to the wheels with ease. And the side-exit Magnaflow exhaust helps onlookers hear the roar of the Ford V8.
