The line of trucks of Ford will come well represented during this year’s SEMA Show where it will have four modified pickups of the F-Series plus three customized Ford Explorers on the stand of the car manufacturer.

The SEMA special edition F-Series pickups come from Hulst Customs, CGS Performance Products, Skyjacker Suspensions, and Superlift Suspensions. The Ford Explorers were made by Tjin Edition, DSO Eyewear, and Stitchcraft Interiors.

The Ford F-Series trucks consist of two F150 and 2 Supper Duty F350 pickups.

Skyjacker transforms the Ford F150 Ecoboost to their Project No Compromise using monotube shocks, four-inch suspension lift, LED light by Rigid Industries, fender flares from Bushwacker, and dual exhaust from Magnaflow.

CGS Performance made the F-150 into The Tarmac using twin screw Whipple supercharger, coilover suspension for the front by Bell Tech, six piston brakes by Baer, and installed CGS air intakes and cat-back exhaust.The seats are hugged by red leather from Pecca and the body gets a good finishing using Boyd Red and Jet Black from DuPont

The F-350 Black Mamba of Hulst was created using customized grilled and hood , lower fascia in front, and side rockers. The rear doors were also modified into suicide style, and the big ride painted with black and highlighted with stainless graphics.

The other F350 was transformed into Matchbox-Superlift Brush ride that has a ten-inch lift system, 41-inch tires, and finished in PPG Vibrance. The team also equipped it with sirens and emergency lights.

The Ford Explorers came in Business Edition by Stitchcraft using two tone pain, Alcantara upholstery, and Orion Audio. DSO made an active sport version which has lowered suspension, 24-inch 3-piece rims, leather seats by Katzkin, LED lighting, and finished in white BASF paint. The Ford Explorer by Tjin made use of Baer brakes, 24-inch rims from Flken, Realm audio, suspension by Eibach, black leather seats, and paint job by DuPont.

Although Ford is one of my least favorite brands of cars, I have to say that when I saw the new 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, I have to say that I drooled a little bit. This car is absolutely beautiful in all aspects and while I think that the original Ford Taurus looks like a pill, I have to say that this newer, fresher and sportier version is actually something that I might consider buying. Ford promises that the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO will reduce fuel consumption and the performance will be increased … we’ll have to see about that.

The cool thing I think about the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO is the fact that it is powered by a 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged, EcoBoost V6 engine that is coupled with a six-speed 6F55 SelectShift transmission and an All-Wheel Drive System, 2010 Ford Taurus SHO may outputs 365 hp at 5,500 rpm and 350 ft.-lbs. of torque at 3,500 rpm. Do I need to say more?

Of course I do! The price should be just under $40,000 – which for a car of this status, it is pretty freakin’ good!

Ford Motor’s Impact on the US Economy has always been huge. Since the Ford Model T came out in 1908 Ford has always influenced the US economy.

Ford Motor’s Impact on the US Economy goes far deeper than just cars. Since several industries depend on companies like Ford, they can get greatly impacted as well. For example the steel industry and electronics industry’s get hit hard if anything happens to Ford. This is because they supply millions of stereos and speakers amongst other electronics for the cars. Even the steel industry gets affected because of all the metal used for the cars.
