MICHAEL SCOFIELD’S FAMILY PROJECT: 2017 FORD KING RANCH

- Stephanie Davies

It would be hard to argue that the 2017 Ford F-250 is anything less than a beautiful, well-designed truck. All new for 2017, the F-250 was converted to a military-grade aluminum alloy to shave body weight from previous model years. The truck was also given an all-new, fully-boxed frame consisting of high-strength steel, with substantial axles and more-robust steering and chassis components. All of this saved 350 pounds of weight over the previous model years. Furthermore, if you equip it with the King Ranch package, you have a powerful truck that is both capable of handling hard work and insanely luxurious inside—and that’s before the Scofields get their hands on it.

In the past few years, the name Scofield has become synonymous with fast cars and big trucks. Though the company is relatively new, the Scofields are not new to the performance game. Scofield Performance in Brandon, Fla., specializes in custom projects and is run by a number of Scofields, including Michael, who owns this beautiful 2017 Ford F-250 King Ranch.

The 2017 F-250 was bought in August of 2017 and immediately went under the knife for eight weeks of cosmetic and performance work.

Tyler, Jeff, and Danny Scofield joined Michael to complete the build. It’s only fitting that it was a family project, considering he credits his family with getting him into the sport in the first place 12 years ago. The hobby would quickly become a passion for Michael.
