A new MotorTrendTV series, "Build for Off Road" will premiere on the network on August 24 featuring a SEMA-Show-bound off-road truck.
Hosted by off-road expert Ian Johnson and joined by the Factory Five Racing build team, the show's first episode will follow the group as they assemble their new XTF Extreme Truck kit. The finished vehicle will then be handed off to NASCAR Cup Series Champion Joey Logano in episode two, who plans to give away the truck to support the Joey Logano Foundation.
The first two episodes of "Build for Off Road" will give viewers an up-close look at the kit as the Factory Five Racing build team, led by the company’s Director of Operations Nate Johnson, joins Ian Johnson in his shop to create the ultimate Ford off-road truck, with additional aftermarket components from PowerStop Brakes and Crown Performance.
"'Build for Off Road' focuses on real-world, off-road vehicles that are not made for 'show' but made to perform off-road," said host Ian Johnson, an established TV host and digital content creator. "The Factory Five XTF is the perfect example of this type of vehicle. With a true off-road suspension and custom tube chassis, the XTF is built for off-road."
