Iowa drivers seeking a heavy-duty pickup truck with exceptional capabilities know that the Ford Super Duty lineup is unbeatable. The most well-known Super Duty Ford truck, the F-250, is built for top performance in many different conditions. Designed in the factory as an elite work truck, the stock F-250 is not afraid to tackle snow, mud or heavy loads.

But for drivers seeking the ultimate in off-road performance, this is not the end of the story.

The basic factory performance of a stock F-250 makes the vehicle a very popular base for aftermarket modifications and upfits. Many different F-250 owners throughout the United States have found exciting ways to extract additional performance from their pickup trucks, leading to a strong aftermarket F-250 culture. One of the most notable examples comes from SCA Performance in Trussville, Alabama. Their Black Widow modifications expertly turn the F-250 from an everyday Super Duty work truck into an off-road demon. How do they do it? Read on to find out.

Ames Ford Lincoln is proud to specialize in Ford Performance vehicles of all types. Our Ford Performance division experts understand what it takes to sell and repair vehicles from brands such as Roush, Shelby and Saleen. And as an authorized Black Widow Dealer, we are proud to bring these exciting pickup trucks to the Des Moines, IA, area.

Superior Performance and Style

A stock 2023 Ford F-250 gets its power from an array of strong gas and diesel engine options. From the new 405-horsepower 6.8-liter gas V8 to the 6.7-liter turbo diesel with 500 horsepower to the available 7.3-liter gas power plant, the Ford F-250 lineup is built from the factory to conquer the trails. But SCA Performance has found a way to unlock additional power and off-road capabilities with their class-leading upfit package.

An SCA-lifted F-250 Black Widow truck features plenty of special high-performance parts to help the vehicle exceed its factory capabilities. The modifications start with SCA’s own 6-inch suspension lift system and custom 20-inch Black Widow wheels shod in 37-inch BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2 tires. As a result, the Black Widow F-250 benefits from over two feet of ground clearance! Exclusive Black Widow custom power running boards help drivers manage the elevated ride height of the vehicle.

Boone, IA, trail drivers will enjoy the SCA Performance front windshield snipe on the F-250 Black Widow. Paired with the pocket style fender flares gracing the front of the truck, the performance front windshield snipe adds aerodynamic handling and style to every Ford Black Widow machine. OEM-quality badges splash the Black Widow logo over the vehicle, presenting the truck with a recognizable air of authority and capability.

The Ford F-250 Black Widow has plenty of other exciting styling elements as well. Tinted front windows and black-painted interior trim come standard, as do custom stitched headrests boasting the Black Widow insignia. And in keeping with the theme, every Black Widow F-250 boasts a special branded gauge cluster with special Black Widow speedometer gauges! As the Black Widow package requires larger wheels and a higher lift, the SCA team calibrates the speedometer to ensure continued accuracy.

Exclusive Options for Iowa Drivers

As good as the Ford F-250 Black Widow sounds in base configuration, drivers have plenty of additional options to make theirs even stronger. From new paint schemes to a 12,000-pound winch, extra performance and style are available for Des Moines, IA, residents.

Are 20-inch wheels not enough for your needs? Try the 22-inch rims! While the exclusive Black Widow wheels are painted black as standard, drivers seeking a special style upgrade can request to have the wheel rims and vehicle interior painted to match the vehicle’s body color. .

While the standard F-250 Black Widow comes with factory-painted bumpers and grille, these components can also be upgraded if desired. Whether driven on the streets of Marshalltown, IA or out adventuring, a well-equipped Ford F-250 Black Widow is sure to turn heads.

Class-Leading Safety and Protection

The SCA Performance team is dedicated to ensuring that their builds are done safely and in line with all applicable regulations. Black Widow custom modifications are built on reliable, trusted parts made primarily in-house or by specially selected vendors. Modified vehicles can receive service at any Ford dealer in the nation, with manufacturer warranties honored.
