Ford has teamed up with leading aftermarket builders and parts manufacturers to deliver 10 unique versions of its hottest vehicles, highlighting the ways customers can personalize their rides with hundreds of Ford Performance Parts and Ford Licensed Accessories.
“We designed Ford vehicles to be easier to customize, with installation points and aftermarket accessories engineered from the start of the design process,” said Eric Cin, Ford global director, vehicle personalization, accessories, and licensing. “We work actively with the aftermarket to share our product designs so customers can personalize and put the finishing touches on their vehicle to make it all their own.”
The Ford Vehicle Personalization team has created two custom, one-off vehicle builds featuring a multitude of Ford Accessories and Ford Performance Parts. Ford F-150 Lightning was selected to showcase the best of the best in vehicle personalization.
