you know they are never DONE- still have to replace driver's side up-pipe bellows and then some special touches on the outside that will have us down to the wire - as always
So impressed Erik!! Thank you for bringing us all along on your adventure, your a VERY gifted person. Did FFR stay in contact and offer good tech support and issue resolution seeing this is a newer kit? Seem to be very professional. Once again you have a gift Erik & thank you for sharing with a WICKED build.
I thought I recognized your Daytona but I wasn’t sure until I saw you pass El Olmeca in this video! I saw it at Providence car meet a while back I believe. I’d love to see the XTF in person. Are you planning on taking it to any local events soon? Crazy, I’ve been binging this whole build series for a while and I had no idea you were in town.
Truck is turning out to be pretty sweet, you might’ve answered this in a previous video but how much will this build be complete in USD? Parts + truck, without counting labor? Comparing it to raptor R and ram trx, cool to have something that you won’t see everyday on the street tho for sure.
this a great question and worth asking for sure - the donor truck aside ( Mine was 25k) - the kit is 25k - so you are 50k...if your truck is running - keep in mind that I sold well over 6k off of donor - so let's say 41-44K if you start with a running truck. Then add 3k -5k for wheels and tires and 5k for a wrap = you're in it for around 55-60k? And that's if you start with a running truck.. you could by a salvage truck and save some money theoretically. Then if you add a GEN 3 Whipple to this you have raptor R/TRX horsepower numbers for another 9k or 60-65K and have way more suspension under the truck - that's about 40K less than a Raptor R and TRX - Factory Five is also set to offer a Carbon Fiber panels as well... the truck weighs 6000lbs as well and is 90 inches wide! All to say - there is a lot more potential here in my opinion.... but do your research and convince yourself - this worked for me with my timing since I owned my truck out right.
@@etreves Awesome! thanks for the details, it’s worth mentioning that this is also 40k USD less then a raptor R or trx without including /adding additional dealer markup on those vehicles if they have low inventory, and if in canada also add the luxury tax on top of that for vehicles over 100k. So the savings could be more. I realize this kit isn’t available for Canadians yet tho. Still hard to compare apple to apples since the donor vehicle will likely have mileage on the motor and not be brand new, and resale value would be questionable on something like this. But overall a very cool project and worth considering. Thanks for spearheading this with factory five to give people a more affordable option against those vehicles, very cool.
Great Build Series Erik. Two question/observations. 1) Is the reason the wheels are not centered in the wheel wells, because you built the truck lowered? The FFR videos of the red truck, show the wheels centered. 2) Is it an optical illusion, or is the front of the truck (Cab forward), a different shade of grey? Like the paint is the same color, but the primer was black on the front, and white on the back.
I think it's more of an angle thing on the front wheels, especially if they are not straight (like in the video) and the fact that I have a full front bumper on the truck - I plan on pushing out the bumper a little - but the wheels can't go any further aft as they are in contact with the cab right now when I am at full lock. I only painted the FFR panels and not the truck cab. The quarter fender has an interesting color flop - I used the dark grey sealer as required for this color.... it won't matter in a couple of weeks though. nice catch!
Overall very nice build, I was wondering should I do something similar with my 2016 5L when I seen this Factory 5 option. I know it’s a question of taste, I don’t exactly care for those giant wheels though; especially the stance of the front one in the wheel well. That’s just me, this is your build and you have to live with it.
He’s lowered this a bit and has stated it “a mall crawler”. Pretty much on road, cool-looking truck. It’s his build so he can do what he wants. IMO: having some of the best off-road suspension on a street drivable truck means you should run 37” tires on 17” wheels and hammer down some poorly managed backroads. But again, his money, his build, his preference.
That's ok... we aren't all built the same and what works for one may not work for all... good news is that there are plenty of tire wheel combinations out there to choose from
With somebody that we’re trying to build a truck like yours,would they be able to use the bed like a truck? Could I still fill it up with lumber for example?
@tabcobra yep and you would know.because you have ridden in my truck before and the fact that the numbers and times are the same means nothing over manufacturer 😆🤣😂
@@gunnerscustoms What do you have done to it? Because a STOCK Ford Coyote 5.0 has more horsepower than your stock Hemi. Plus, this F150 is turbocharged. What’s done to yours?
It’s been good watching this build, can you do a good walk around the truck maybe some side and font views. Some drive by video? I’m not a ford guy but this XTF kit is seriously rethink getting a FORD.😩😳
yes sure thing... I have to remove the up pipes this week to fix that stupid rattle in the bellows - so next weekend I will try and get that done if I get done in time
Looks awesome, but you should either get a better camera or use your phone. The GoPro is too distorted to see the proportions. Also, show the front! We only got to see the side and back!
@@etreves Understood. However, I surmise the added weight of the trailer and your other Factory Five vehicle will be similar or considerably more stress than just including the front drive axle. Which is why I think it will have the same heating problem when towing.
Truck looks amazing can't believe u did all the cosmetics in the garage.
We'll done Erik! I hope to see it next month!!
Sick build
New world record for getting ready for SEMA. Done a month in advance!

I have full Factory Five backing, they have been available to answer all of my questions - thanks for riding along!
15-50 in what, 3 seconds flat? WITH wheelspin? LOL. What a monster lol.

Hopefully they develop this chassis for other brands as well.

You can put any size wheels on it that you want.

I don’t understand the wheel tire combo. Looks weird man….😕

yes you can still use the bed it's plenty tough.
Nice. Runs as good as my Hemi Ram with a few bolt-ons and a tune...sub 5s to 60 and 12s in the quarter. Love quick trucks!
Nah
That Ford will walk off from your Ram, doubt if there’s any comparison.

Has Factory Five given a towing rating?@@etreves
@@jamesmclaren9598 because of the long 4 link suspension I think there are targeting 5000Lbs - ; the setup I have is 6000lbs with the car in it...
How did you get that huge ford sync screen in your truck ? Any pointed much appreciated
It's an aftermarket infotainment system
Nice work. Why is yours so low? I thought this was an off road setup. Sorry just skimmed through the build if you already explained this.
My setup is more street/strip is all... it's a 2/4 drop
Looks awesome, but you should either get a better camera or use your phone. The GoPro is too distorted to see the proportions. Also, show the front! We only got to see the side and back!
roger....missed this comment before I posted my new video - will ensure I get a some more / better detail videos
If you are having heat issues after a few digs to 60, you are going to have the same issues pulling a trailer. Should add a transmission cooler.
agreed - it's on the list of upgrades - the 10R80 generates a lot more heat in 4WD as well - I don't seem to have the same problem in 2WD

@@jbuck9821 not sure - but the way I was launching the truck in 4wd - I doubt trailer is more :)
