Ready to Rock and Roll: 2024 RTR F-150

RTR is back at it again with market-changing innovation. As if the Ford F-150 RTR wasn't awesome enough, 2024 is changing everything. People sometimes wonder about the practicality and versatility of electric vehicles. However, RTR is challenging this very notion. With performance-tuned precision, the F-150 Lightning RTR is a sight to behold. Below, we'll get into a little about the background of this company, working not only to make electric vehicles more viable but also making Ford products that much more performance-oriented.

Ready to Rock: Vaughn Gittin Jr's Legacy

With all the options for an aftermarket-modified Ford, let's dive into what makes RTR unique. RTR vehicles didn't spring up from nowhere from some company looking to make a buck. Instead, Vaughn Gittin Jr spent his days modifying a Mustang for racing. Later, he went on to win Formula D championships and built a serious drifting legacy. RTR vehicles reflect Vaughn Gittin Jr's passion for performance, which made the Ford collaboration so natural. Since 2009, the public has had access to these legendary vehicles, beginning with the first Mustang RTR and expanding to vehicles like the 2024 Ford F-150 RTR.

Electric RTR Truck: Ford F-150 Lightning Switchgear

Switching gears from the gas-powered F-150 RTR, RTR's version of the F-150 Lightning, the Switchgear is truly an innovative masterpiece that bests all other electric trucks. Even though it has the same battery pack and chassis as the Ford F-150 Lightning, its capability is dramatically improved. To do this, it has a fully customized suspension requiring a lot of extra parts, including those from Fox. An upgraded braking package allows for more efficient regenerative braking while also being as responsive as ever. To increase its prowess on the trail, it's got a modified lower bumper, and an increased clearance as well.

What's the kicker behind this powerhouse of a truck? It's not yet available as a ready-made RTR vehicle. However, we're happy to build it for you from the available RTR parts to make it just like the Switchback, which is not yet available to the public.

On the Trail: F-150 RTR

The F-150 RTR has been carefully crafted for trail clobbering performance. Whether it's the addition of the skid bar, the Fox suspension, or the beefy tires and wheels, it's ready to take on any trail challenge you throw at it. With top-notch capability on and off the road, the F-150 RTR is a no-brainer.
