I agree but they should have went with trucks from the 90s and earlier. There is a huge Market of people that just want a good work truck and are sick of the high-priced Hi-Tech junk that is out there right now. We just want a good reliable work truck and Factory Five could have filled that void. They overshot this project. They should have kept it simple and made it for earlier model work trucks.
@@steveh7108 I thought the same thing. I would want something like this for a 1999 or earlier truck with an 8 foot bed, then I could put a Cummins 2.8 repower kit in it and have a reliable work truck that gets 30+MPG. You have to be 99' or older to do that though for light trucks. Someone needs to come up with restomods for those of us that don't want to drive spaceships to get sheets of plywood.
@@kc72186 now that we know the US has alien technology I'm sure they'll bring out something soon and we won't need shocks anymore my friend. If that happens I'm accepting all donated prerunners
@@audiwankenobi361 for rock crawling and trail riding its better. For what the truck is built for like hitting whoops and dunes like a baja truck should longer wheelbase is more stable in turn means itll carry more speed
love this idea I hope you guys can incorporate something like this for cars, obviously a lot more fab work you might have to do yourself because of the unibody but retaining the sort of factory exterior + the interior would be cool
Remember the Chevy short wide Sport Trucks from the '90's? Do up a truck for city driving and do a lifted one on 56" tires. That desert truck stuff is cool west of the Rockies.
But they should do it for older trucks. 90s and earlier. There is a huge market for people that just want a good work truck and would gladly build it themselves from a kit like this. We don't want the new trucks with all the electronics and headaches that go along with it.

@@rtz549 that's understandable, but I wouldn't want the full carbon fiber body anyway...their fiberglass body is more than adequate for a build...that way theres more money to invest in the power and drivetrain.
I don’t know what the price of a f-150 is. Now being 2023. And he’s saying 2015 to 2022. Body. But in the long is it worth it. I want to know more. A custom frame is about 20k. And he’s saying 25 for all.
Absolutely. Factory Five missed the mark because people are sick of the overpriced newer trucks that are so fragile because of all the electronics that they are unreliable. They should have done just like they did with their original Factory Five Roadster. Made a kit that worked off of a very popular cheap and readily available Parts truck. The market is huge for all of the pickup truck drivers that are sick of all the electronics and gadgetry that make them unreliable junk.
@@jacobstrutner8232 you see it all the time professionally built with SCSB im sure they have cons but they are still very capable and handle good from what i have seen to say its a “terrible” idea is kind of a broad statement
Depends on the motor. The twin turbo six can be tuned to 450 hp, and the trucks with 5 liter engines can be tuned with a turbo to 600+ hp easily, on par with the raptor r.
@@factoryfive To clarify, yall do not provide a 700hp engine? I poked around the site and couldn't figure it out. Do you provide an engine at all? whats the highest hp engine if so
They missed the mark. There is a much bigger market and need for a restomod type of pickup truck. They should have done it just like they did their original Factory Five Roadster. A kit that would have used parts from the 80s or earlier F-150s ( most abundant parts availability in the world) so what consumer can actually build a reliable dependable durable work truck without all the electronics that have destroyed our trucks. This could have been an absolutely huge Market to fill. The American Workforce is tired of all these junk high-priced trucks that constantly break down and don't do the job they were purchased for. Please ! Factory Five, please rethink what you're doing and what the market wants and needs!
The F150 is perennially the best selling truck in America. It's clear that FF very much did their marketing research. People who can afford a newer truck can probably afford this kit. People with older trucks...
i especially like the part where the bed of a pickup becomes completely non-functional for carrying things pickups carry. this won't last any longer than the daytona roadster.... shoulda made a rac-type rally version of the 818 instead.
Not so fast- Trucks sales are through the roof and prices up to $128,000 if there is a market this could be their best seller Larger heavier but probably a simpler build overall
If you are putting anything else other than spares and trail gear in the bed, you are doing it wrong. This isn't a utility truck, it's a fun truck. Though with enough demand, Factory Five may eventually offer a cantilever option down the road.

I would like to see a VS battle between this and the Raptor.
this is the coolest thing to hit the prerunner market since using circular wheels instead of square. killer!!!!!
I gotta get up to speed with this tech, I'm still running the square wheels and having a hell of a time finding shocks that run smooth.

Perfect execution on the best platform. Well done!
Oh man all this needs is a regular-cab short box version!!! Keep up the good work guys!
I think that it should have been released that way first because it is just soo close to the Raptor visually.
nah youll want the long bed with how wide its gonna be it would look very weird and probably not handle offroad well
@@tangodrizzle A short wheel base and being wide is a good thing for high speed off road travel.
@@audiwankenobi361 for rock crawling and trail riding its better. For what the truck is built for like hitting whoops and dunes like a baja truck should longer wheelbase is more stable in turn means itll carry more speed
Uhh no. Short wheelbase will beat you to death in high speed dirt.
Very, very impressive. I do have a 2019 F150 4-door but the Roadster has always been the dream car. Nicely done.
love this idea I hope you guys can incorporate something like this for cars, obviously a lot more fab work you might have to do yourself because of the unibody but retaining the sort of factory exterior + the interior would be cool
AWESOME!!! Hope you guys do another kit in the future with a GM or Toyota donor.
What a great idea!
Looks awesome
Now do a classic Bronco!
Apg I think is the name for the bronco Baja conversion kit but pricy
Love it!
No shit. That's awesome. Man I need to hit the lotto. 👍👍
This is a great idea!
Hell yeah !

Consider doing up these frame kits for all makes of cabs. Ram, Chevy, Toyota.
But they should do it for older trucks. 90s and earlier.

I would love factory five to make a tube frame chassis where I can just take my Corvette parts and swap it over. So it looks like a C6 Corvette.
dope
I'd love to see it set up for road course driving, 12" wide wheels on low profile meaty tires, lowered significantly.. it'll be too much.
Get yourself a 5.0L F150 and throw this on and you have a v8 Raptor
Better than a craptor
The Ford FP700 kit. 3.0L Whipple for 700HP. On par or better than Raptor R.
Could you guys have a kit for the Ford Ranger?
It's a Pre-Runner but no mention of the shock sizing snd setup. Bump stops? Straps? Can it run dual shocks? 3"? 4"? Stock hubs?

Really like this...but where's the new supercar you showed us 2 years ago?
With the economy as it is; it's on hold for now.
@@rtz549 that's understandable, but I wouldn't want the full carbon fiber body anyway...their fiberglass body is more than adequate for a build...that way theres more money to invest in the power and drivetrain.
@rtz549 now I heard they are changing the nose for better aerodynamics and performance so another year delay
I work at f5 and I didn't know the f9 existed until a couple seconds ago
Where are the extra three running lights in the front? I see them in the back.
What Happened to the Factory Five F9?
What is the ground clearance? I get that it might not be the intent to have high clearance, but it seems pretty low.
Awesome truck! Now any news on the F9R? ~ Asking for everyone 🤷♂️
This has been our priority, but refining the F9 is next up!
I think they pushed this over the F9R because of the C8 Corvette mainly
Would make a great base for a custom Earthroamer
whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need a kit for 80-96 bullnose, bricknose aeronose trucks.
I don’t want 4wd in a fun desert runner, can I use a 2wd f-150?
Need to have TWS Offroad (Chino Valley AZ - do lots of F150 “Raptor” builds….
What happened to the supercar f9r guys?
What color is that?
What would labor be at $120++/hr shop rate?
Need one for Chevy trucks/suv asap
Hate to be "that guy"
But I sure hope yall apply the same concept to Chevys and Ram. Would be super sick.
Need a Ford Ranger version. Would love a smaller version of this.

Nice intro video but we need to SEE the travel. Couldn't they have at least jumped off a curb or something?
Checkout our website and the XT1 page. We do have some photos of one of our engineers personally jumping the truck.
Cool, now make one for the Chevy.
Was hoping theyd come out with some kind of truck but was reallllllly looking at them hitting the small truck trend.
I'm wondering if you can put a 1965 Jeep Gladiator body on one of these.
Sorry, but the XTF chassis is only designed to use the cab from a 2015-2020 F-150 Super Crew Cab. It is not compatible with a Jeep Gladiator.
@@factoryfive It would be supper cool if you guys designed something for the early Jeep Gladiator trucks.
Can’t find a single video of this thing off road, is it fragile or something?
Hey we have been very busy with our operations and will have a magazine publishing offroad content, as well as our own production in a few weeks!

Now do one for an AMC Eagle.
Ain't seen one on the road in decades. Probably all gone in the junk yards too.
Didn't mention the shocks.
What about fd rx7…. If you guys could make a replica of that there is much money to be made
If they built a Chevy version of this I would buy it today!
Id love to see one for a single can short bed obs ford as i want to build a pre runner and my frame is shot

Kinda tough finding a 2015 to 2022 F150 with a junk chassis.
Not bad, bud I'd rather start with a Silverado... Maybe you do a Chevy version?
Price point, twenty-four nine? What does that mean? I'm guessing, $249,000.
Now do an electric option.
If not for subsidies, EVs would fade away. We're already seeing sales nose over. Fashion comes, and fashion goes.
$25k doesn't include the donor F150
that huge gap between the front bumper and the side wheel arches is atrocious
Shame that it will still be a flex vehicle for dude bros and will never be taken off-road
100%.
People do what they want with their purchases. Buy one and take it where you want.
Its amazing how someone can complain about how others spend their money. Sounds a bit socialist if I might add.
Jealous much?
For 25k i'll swap my 16 F150.

If you build something like this, the bed space is the last of your concerns. This is not to haul furniture from IKEA!
You don’t have to carry the spare on top like that; you can wear it around your belly.
