The New Factory Five is an Affordable Raptor Killer
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ส.ค. 2024
- Factory Five Racing is back with another affordable kit car- but this time, it's just a little bit different from the supercar slayers they're known for. The Factory Five XTF (formerly referred to as the Factory Five XT-1) is a prerunner style widebody Ford F-150. This kit replaces the stock F150 ladder frame with a new sturdier tube chassis, which has long travel suspension for up to 20-inches of travel. The XTF is an insane baja truck that would dominate the F150 Raptor in the apocalypse, but at a fraction of the price!

This is pretty cool. Would love to see a ranger sized pre runner as well, but I imagine the cost would be pretty close
Size, not cost would be my reasoning. Pretty sure I’m not alone.
@@dont_hit_trees yeah definitely not a city truck
Factory five does some really cool stuff!
i built and worked on nearly 200 factory five cars from 2019 to the end of 2022. they are amazing vehicles and i would love to built my own cobra, though daily driver tt v12 takes a little more priority cause its a little more fussy about maintenance than a cobra is, more expensive too lmao
Perfectly overkill for 90% of buyers. Getting groceries has never been more fun.
You’re more then welcome to off road your factory five raptor
Overkill is our friend...
So who cares
Intentionally forget something so you can go back.
Those parking stops and concrete planters always seem to get in my way, not to mention those slow senior citizens.
If these guys come out with a SMALL (think 80's Toyota) truck kit they could take over the whole us market!!!
I completely agree. Especially if someone like Motobilt or Genright off-road made kits like this to make crawlers with only needing to supply a set of axles and drivetrain and interior I would definitely see that idea taking off
Whipple coyote with this kit would be ideal. I will look into it. Thank you for the awesome video
Why not a 7.3 Godzilla if you’re going to replace the entire frame.
HDMI engine in f150
@christopherhughes7970 the 5.0 can come from the donor truck. Big cost difference from getting a godzilla. Whipple does wonders on a coyote.
If you’re going to be spending $100k+ for building a custom off-road truck what’s another $8k for a Godzilla? Plus they sell superchargers for them as well.
w/ a 6MT!
They had me at full tube chassis.
But is it tube??
Def not full tube chassis
yes tube isn't only round...
@@jacobstrutner8232 yeah but the square shit looks hokey and rarely do I see other fab shops use as much square as they did. Pass for me
I can tell you're not from Massachusetts.
Fuckin tube chassis are shitty as fuck after a couple of wintah's in the fahken gahrage.
I need a fahken galvy yoter for my fahken oystah beds.
Looks like an East coast solution to a West coast problem.
Not a single clip of this raptor killer actually offroad. Cool
I have a Raptor, but now I wanna get one of these too. Pretty sick concept.
Part out raptor parts you'd be getting rid of, frame, bed, whole front clip, suspension and you might be close to the cost of the kit
So smart and this is the way to go. The a arms and swing arms are insane on this truck along with the suspension putting out pretty good travel numbers. Almost as good as my rzr pro r travel numbers but in a truck at half the price of a raptor. I'd take this over a raptor any day.
And you can have it too for not much more that what a Pro R cost! Kinda mind blowing if you ask me.
Those travel numbers suck
nice video as always, i love kit cars, they're so interesting.
@JRR812 Totally agree! A regular cab or super cab version would make it an absolute rocket. Imagine taking a smaller frame but still packing in all that horsepower and suspension magic-like having a sports car in a truck's body! 🚀🤯
Who else thinks a compact version would be the ultimate off-road sleeper?
....but does it have an option for various colors of Truck Nuts?! Another eye opening video about a vehicle I had no idea existed, love it!
Yup my next truck. Awesome video
wow that chassis is sick. The bracing to build structure and keep the full bed is wicked. I hate cutting into the bed space on truck builds, that is rad. maybe it's not uncommon, but ive never seen it done like that. That said Id definitely be opting for the roll cage given what it is capable of
I don’t see the need though tbh, that part of it seems overkill- although I suppose Ford modified the frame on the F150 for the Raptor- mostly just thicker where the shock mounts are & a couple other spots, but I’m on my 2nd & have done Raptor Assault course as well as just beating mine off-road on my own, & literally don’t see why the need to go much more overboard, I couldn’t tell if they modified the engine or not but I would hope so to handle the extra weight of the kit + the unsprung weight of wheels/tires etc
Are there toolboxes in those spaces in the bed where it's blocked off?
I'm a Tundra guy but I'd jump ship in a second for this Monster.
Like to see a Tundra model instead of Ford
This is sweet! Love Factory Five
Looks awesome!
Yeah, FF is an amazing company. A friend of mine and her brother built one of their Cobras, 20-25 years back, and then road raced it. Hoho! 🔥
I wish factory five would offer models of TVR from the late 90s and early 2000s
I like and I love this video!👍
Pretty sure you could get the right salvage truck and do as much of the work yourself to save money. An industrious person could definitely build one for less than a Raptor R.
All day 💯
$25k for tube frame, long travel suspension, bed and body panels is not bad at all. How much do you think you can save if you did it yourself?
@@skrsys
More importantly, how much time and money will you spend before the project gets shoved further and further into the back corner of the garage because work, little league, vacation, etc., etc., etc. got in the way.
@@rogermccaslin5963 These type of projects are definitely for doers not dreamers.
I agree 💯%. The average Joe isn't going to be able to build a full tube chassis as nice as the one in this kit, then getting performance long travel suspension and the body panels needed. $25k for what your getting seems like a damn decent deal. I'm curious to see people's builds once they start making their way to TH-cam.
I’d do it. Turn my little STX into a monster
Two things stand out to me from this video; 1) are the panel gaps where front hood meets bumper supposed to be that large 2) the owner loves showing his biceps
the panel gaps in this video are not accurate as the hood was not properly closed for the video. The team was filming a 'Plant Tour' and missed making sure some of the details of these shots were perfect before filming. We plan on doing more video content in the coming weeks where you can see the trucks in more detail and see them off-road.
This is super cool!
Definitely on my list.
I would marry that truck.
Nice job for a first version. They need to work on the gaps from the grill and the hood and the front fenders. Also, the stance doesn't look like it's got more ground clearance.
I think that's the idea. Road car guys that like good road handling built an off road truck.
It's not a rock crawler! Desert trucks are usually set up with more droop than compression in the suspension. SOFT is the goal for a good ride.
Damn, nice product 👍
This is not how a pre runner chassis should be built.
Complete overkill on the fab work for the lower frame and doesn’t tie into a roll cage to prevent flex. Plus you want the bed cage to mount the rear bypass shocks higher.
If frame swaps were so good, you’d see more prerunners doing that instead of a full on chassis with a bed cage
Sold sold sold!
I’ll take it! Where do I sign?!?!
whats the wait time for one of these things and what are the odds we can get something on a maverick frame or possibly NON ford truck
Do they have a youtube channel, how long of time frame can they deliver one of these ?
This will slay at the REI
As long as it is not an Italian Ram I'm on board with it
Awesome!
I've seen more than a few junk f150s with rotted frames but good bodies in the northeast here
Use a 2nd or 3rd gen tundra and I’ll buy one in a heartbeat!!!!
Do they install the kit or send you the kit?
Sad this wouldn’t fit my Supercab with a flatbed. Half the time I’m driving on dirt roads and through the woods of the Berkshires in my 2015 F150 and have been looking for a 5 link rear suspension for an F150.
What is a 5 link rear suspension? Desert trucks ALL have "double triangulated" 4 link suspension with no track bar. The double triangulation keeps the rear axle centered & allows it to flex side to side without binding when 1 tires is in a hole & the other on a high spot, unlike a parallel bar 4 link(really only good for drag racing), which needs the track bar to keep the axle centered. GM used a double triangulated 4 link without a track bar on all their coil spring rearend cars for decades. A track bar would pull the rearend side to side during travel with 20+ inches of travel. There are some shops out here that build killer full cage & suspension prerunners with trick suspension under the bed using bell cranks & cantilevers with lay down coil over shocks if ya want a couple hundred thousand $$$$$ badass truck. Try going to a desert race like the Mint 400 & walk through the vendors area to see what's available. Like Alan Jackson's song, "All It Takes Is $$$$$$"!!
This with the FP700 package from ford! WHOOO!!!!
Finally a suspension that will last 👍
This is so sick omg I want one
ill build it for ya, i built and worked on around 200 FFR cars from 2019 to the end of 2022, and ill happily build one of these lol
Save your money haha
@@billhicksmcgee1181 well it's going to take quite a while lol
@@vtgvideos955 I meant save your money for something else haha
That’s hot👌🏾
Perfect for front end collision trucks
Factory five: make an AWD 2nd Gen Lightning 🙌
The Lightening wasn't anything but a regular F150 with the blown 351 engine. Nothing special about the rest of the truck.
the perfect truck for new england roads
Only thing is that front lower bumper is too street looking. Otherwise such a sick option and honestly that’s cheap for what you get.
Does it retain the airbags and other safety systems?
Air Bags would deploy when running fast over any adverse terrain
The problem is the Raptor can ALSO be used as a regular truck too though, functional bed and can tow
Is this able to do that as well?
Did you watch the video? They specifically said it can tow 5,000 lbs.
customers building this truck plan on using it for multiple purposes; as their daily driver and to compete in off-road activities.
@@factoryfive I love it
Any idea if y'all able to do a "flatbed" with the Eff-wan-fiddy cab?
@@Apoc_Bone_Daddy we’ll take that idea to the rest of the team! Sounds fun!
I'd love to drive one of these for a while and see how it really feels and operates..."a while" being until I drop dead.
Come to Las Vegas where ya can rent a desert truck & try it out!!
So uhhhhh
Can this work on a Lightning?
Ford performance team punching the air rn
Great, now I have to go get a salvage title f150, fiberglass fenders and the factory five goodies
Kit comes with the body panels
if i were to do this to my current F-150, the kit price along with the price of my truck, I'd still save around 30k if its this vs a Raptor R. With that being said, take this amount of money and put it into an entirely custom truck of your choice, and you'll have something twice as fast. So the questions come down to, do you want to do the work yourself/wait for a build or have a not so long long travel truck that still wont be as capable as the price tag
You couldn't build any kind of desert race car for $30,000 or any other kind of fast "race car", for that matter. A "Geiser Brothers" Trophy Truck "roller" is a million $$$$ without the drivetrain or spares. Guys are buying new Can-Am UTVs for $40,000+ & putting another $40,000+ in them to be competitive out here in the desert. Easy to be an "expert" when ya don't have a clue of the real cost to build sh!t!!! A set of "desert proof" 40" tires & bead lock wheels is $4,000+ & shocks start at $1,000 each with a minimum of 8(2 on each corner) needed.
This is amazing, will it work with a 3.0 powerstroke?
Diesels have never done well in the desert. TQxRPM divided by 5250=HP. The low HP desert racers have well over 500 HP, Trophy Trucks around 1,000HP & they turn big RPM. The UTV desert racers are making 300+HP with their CanAms now.
Coming soon to an Inland Empire near you.
"Southern Massachusetts" is not a term used in... Massachusetts. Wareham, where Factory Five is located, is commonly considered southeastern Mass, or approximated as near the Cape, but "Southern" Massachusetts becomes very confusing near the Rhode Island border and Blackstone River valley, as central Massachusetts (Worcester) lies west and north of places like Seekonk. Southern Massachusetts would refer to a place south of Central Massachusetts, which is northeastern Connecticut.
Can you get a bronco version?
I’m sold
idk i saw some experts say this wasnt put togheter very well
Welp. Gotta adapt it under my 2014, I'm sure it won't take *that* much work.
I'm sure my 07 will be a piece of cake.
If you can fabricate just race kit and short course your own truck on the factory frame. You can beat those travel numbers and run a far more appropriate shock package for trucks this heavy.
That's a great price for the chassis and suspension, but I didn't hear any mention of the additional $30k that it would take to get the kind of power you'd get from a Raptor R.
If you have a 5.0 you can bolt on a factory Ford Supercharger and it’s no where near 30K and you’ll have plenty of ho.
Why didn’t they mention this in the video. With all the advertisement of it being a Raptor killer than tell us all the details instead of hiding them (price of F150 & Supercharger)
$30,000 isn't required to get the HP of a Raptor. My buddy built a 1,000+ HP, 555 BBC fo $12,000 & it went 7.97/168 in his 86 Olds Cutlas at Wild Horse Pass with 4,000 altitude air density.
With a cheap donor and a supercharger kit, you have a truck that would have more horsepower than the raptor r and better suspension at $50k
If I ever crashed my 1200 horse Camaro…. I’d swap the motor into this chassis
bingo, find a rear ended f150 with a coyote, steal the donor parts, scrap the rest for a little cash back, have an awesome toy
Does this price tag of 25K include only the parts or also the labor to fit them to the donor truck?
You build it yourself
Parts ONLY!! Kits are exactly what they say they are. KITS for you to assemble with YOUR labor & donor vehicle. $25,000 is a pittance when ya start talking custom or race vehicles. Ya can'teven buy a Geo Metro for $25,000 in our FJB world now!
thats badassery
Would be great with a regular cab or super cab.
Do you think its good value?
Pick up a totaled F-150 that was rear ended and you’ll be all set not a bad idea if you find one for a good price.
We need an XTF for GM!
Will get this instead of a Raptor.
Can we get it with 4x4?
Make a RCSB version!
Curious to see how will this work in combination with ford’s fp700 package 😨😈😈
Can it be had in 4wd?? Pre runners are usually just 2wd.
yeah the tube chassis is designed around a transfercase and front differential
That was my question because I've already got a 2015 F-150 with the 5.0 but it's only RWD. I think converting the drivetrain over to 4WD would still be less coin shelled out than picking up the latest and greatest model just to blow out the warranty.
I'd like to stick that frame and running gear underneath my Transit camper
Where's the f9? Is this going to be vaporware like that?
I wish they'd stick with cars. Truck market...you seen a cheap viable F150? Me neither
40k for the F150 if you don't already have one, assuming you buy from a car dealership, plus 30k for the kit. Plus, another what, 1000-2000$ for the tires and rims?
So, the price of a Ford Raptor to get a Ford Raptor R competitor. I mean, sure, you save, but is it really worth going either route?
REAL desert tires & bead lock rims would be $4000-$5000
I wonder if this could work on a 2017 Ford Raptor 🤔
That would be a waste. Just upgrade your trucks current suspension. It wouldn’t make sense to pay 25k for this kit when you already have most of what the kit provides.
@@tyronelegstrongiv2206uh no…. This is garbage. 25k you can do a front and rear kit on a raptor that would walk this thing in the desert.
Square tubing and no cage good luck 😂
$7k for a full carbon fiber body is amazing!
No....I think it's an ADITIONAL $7k over the standard kit. Maybe I'm wrong.
@@justinkase1360 still though
Make for a RANGER!!!!
16" in the front and 20" in the rear? It doesn't look like it has all that much ground clearance...I guess I'm missing something. Having the ability to push the bottom of your tire above the bottom of your frame could be useful is VERY few occasions where there is off camber terrain or obstacles. Does it even have more ground clearance than the factory truck?
Desert trucks aren't high rider 4 wheel drives & they're not made for rock crawling. Most are set up with much more "droop" in the suspension than compression. A full tilt Trophy Truck has about 30" rear travel & 24 inches front travel & ride height is usually set below mid travel. SOFT is the program in the desert if ya don't want to get the crap beat out of you when averaging 60mph for a several hundred mile race. The Baja "1000" was 1,350 miles this year
I guess you should stick to mall crawlers then since you simply don't understand why vehicles that are designed to be jumped sit lower.
@@shadfallfan You guess wrong, but keep trying.
COOL! Now do it with a Tundra or other Toyota truck. So I can buy it and expect the mechanics (engine trans) of it to last as long as the F5 frame will. Because a Ford Will Not.
Wow! That's awesome. Definately do buisness with these guys when have money.
Get together with Hennessy, complete package.
super cool except the stock engine part.
Why has there not been any real off road videos the this truck. Even in this video it shows lots of trucks off road but not one factory 5 truck.
we have been busy juggling projects, but will be filming off-road content in the coming weeks! Keep an eye out on our website and socials.
today i learned i literally lived in the same state as factory five and never new it
who's going to teach those guys how to weld correctly ?
I want it
Raptors are 100k+ these days. A fully built truck for half price will sell like 🥞
Looks like it’s got really bad ground clearance ?
Desert trucks are setup low now with much more droop than compression built into the suspension. Goota be SOFT to prevent beating the passengers crazy.
Missed a golden opportunity - should’ve called it the XT-MF
Now do one for Tacomas.
I'd own that instead of a Ford 👍.
Does it come with a manual?
It's still going to cost you $100k+ all said and done. You're going to want the newest 5.0 you can find with low miles. That's a minimum $45k closer to $60k. Tax, shipping and extras for the kit $35k. Wheels and tires $6-7K. Build and paint unless you do it yourself is probably another $15-20k. It'll cost as much if not more than a Raptor R.
Yeah this video is misleading. The one pictured.... 130k not counting hundreds of experienced man hours....
@@ellwoodwolf Once these hit the market, you'll probably be able to find one somebody else dumped $130k into for $80k or less.
If you have no talent, you could be right
@@ze_german2921 Your "talent" is saving $15 grand piecing a kit together in your garage? I'll take the $100k and just go buy a real Raptor.
Well i daily a 2016 5.0 supercrew (full sized doors) f150 that i am building to be a daily driven prerunner. So ill be checking this out and possibly purchasing this
I want one .....bad
I slay a raptor in a 20 year Cummins with compounds and some fueling.
$25K for the kit. And labor is free? Labor would be at least $50K plus the donor vehicle so you're right around $100K and you don't have a Raprot R motor. Sure, if you ignore labor and the donor vehicle - a heck of a bargain.
