RUGGED LUXURY

Cars and trucks are all about utilitarianism. Although vehicles have become status symbols, at the core, it’s all about getting people or things from one place to another. Through the years, Ford Motor Company has solidified its place in the annals of automotive history with its incredible lineup of consumer and commercial trucks. As the nameplate has been expanded and new options made available, Ford’s famed F-Series truly offers something for everyone.

John Garrett Outdoors, a company known for its top-tier guided hunting and fishing expeditions, has recently unveiled their latest creation—a fully modified 2021 Ford F150 Lariat hybrid. John Garrett teamed up with Hypertech to design and built a truck that is equally at home on and off road. This impressive vehicle is not only equipped with everything one might need to survive off the grid (or in the world of competitive bass fishing), but it also boasts several modifications that make it stand out in a crowd.

One of the most notable features of the John Garrett Outdoors F150 is its electric powered grill, refrigerator, icemaker, microwave, and washer/dryer combo. These appliances allow users to enjoy all the comforts of home, even when they are miles away from civilization. The Ford 7.2Kw Pro Power Onboard Generator ensures that these appliances have a constant supply of power, even when the vehicle is not running.

 

In addition to these luxurious amenities, the F150 is also outfitted with several practical modifications designed to enhance its off-road capabilities. These include a 3-inch lift kit, off-road wheels and tires, and plenty of storage options for anything you might need for a successful hunting or fishing trip. The vehicle also boasts numerous exterior modifications, such as a fabricated front and rear bumpers, along with a winch, to help it should the terrain become too much.

The Hypertech/John Garrett Outdoors F150 is designed to be functional and comfortable on and off road. The truck is equipped with a wide variety of specialty lighting from Rigid Industries that do a phenomenal job of illuminating the road, the trail, or the boat ramp.

Overall, the John Garrett Outdoors F150 is a true marvel of modern engineering. Its combination of luxury amenities and rugged off-road capabilities make it the perfect vehicle for anyone who loves the great outdoors. The F150 was recently on display at the 2021 SEMA show, where it received rave reviews from attendees. It is sure to become the blueprint for anyone who loves to explore the great unknown that is looking to get off the grid in comfort.

Professional bass fisherman and outdoorsman, John Garrett stands with his highly customized 2021 Ford F150.
