WHO HAS YOUR VOTE?

Vaughn Gittin Jr.

Imagine taking a motorsport that finds its roots in Japan and helping it become as American as apple pie; then launching a sub-brand within the Ford/Mustang universe, one that’s so popular, it gets people to describe you as a new-school Carroll Shelby.

You take on any form of motorsport that you can possibly take on, some dangerous, some not even on paved ground—they’re equal parts thrilling and scary—and yet you call it “fun having,” for crying out loud. You are not afraid; you face these challenges head on, succeed and ask for more. You are Vaughn Gittin Jr.

Florida Georgia Line

When it comes to true truck enthusiasts, FGL is the real deal. In fact, both Hubbard and Kelley drive lifted trucks on 35s themselves. This made the decision to equip the F-150 with 35x12.50R20 Ridge Grapplers an easy one. Just like the band, the Ridge Grappler is breaking boundaries and refuses to be confined to a single category.

This is not a run-of-the-mill F-150, but rather a fully customized 2015 Ford F-150 Crew Cab 4x4 pickup truck. Powered by a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 engine, the cutting-edge 4WD is the perfect platform to showcase some of the latest off-road components.
