  • Ford to display its fresh new lineup of must-have cars, trucks, SUVs and electric vehicles at the SEMA aftermarket accessory show in Las Vegas, with more than 40 custom creations turning imagination into one-of-a-kind, eye-catching works of automotive art
  • Available Ford Accessories and Ford Performance Parts components, featured on every Ford SEMA build, give customers more ways to personalize their vehicle with items direct from their local Ford dealer – and now, by ordering online and having them shipped direct to their home
  • Ford trucks – with the introduction of the much-lauded compact Maverick™ pickup, making its SEMA debut – will help lead the growth of Ford Licensed Accessories and Genuine Ford Parts
  • All-electric Mustang Mach-E™ SUV joins Mustang coupe stablemate to showcase the performance future of electric vehicles with the Shelby® Mustang Mach-E concept, Ford Performance Mustang Mach-E 1400 and Cobra Jet 1400 demonstrators
LAS VEGAS, Oct. 29, 2021 – A fresh new lineup of Ford trucks and SUVs – including the all-new Maverick pickup and all-electric Mustang Mach-E SUV – is creating new opportunities for customers to imagine, build and show off personalized versions of their new rides with Ford Performance Parts and Ford Licensed Accessories.

More than 40 unique Ford project vehicles created in collaboration with some of the automotive aftermarket’s leading customizers are headed to this year’s SEMA show in Las Vegas to bring those visions to life.

“We designed Ford vehicles to be easier to customize, with installation points and aftermarket accessories engineered from the start of the design process,” said Eric Cin, Ford global director, vehicle personalization, accessories and licensing. “We work actively with the aftermarket to share our product designs so customers can personalize and put the finishing touches on their vehicle to make it all their own.”

Ford Performance Parts and Ford Accessories components can be seen across examples of the following vehicles:

  • F-Series, long the mainstay in Ford parts and accessories offerings, returns with some of the most radical builds and innovative designs in recent years. Trucks range from F-150-based desert runners and haulers, to F-150 and Super Duty® builds
  • The all-new 2022 Ford Maverick pickup – the highly anticipated Built Ford Tough compact pickup – makes its SEMA debut with three custom builds leveraging its ingenious customization and storage solutions while demonstrating the catalog of more than 160 Ford Licensed Accessories, Genuine Ford Parts and Ford Performance Parts items offered at launch
  • Ford Ranger pickup gets the rock star treatment with an extreme off-road build based on the rugged midsize pickup
  • Bronco™ and Bronco Sport SUV will flex their off-road muscle with six custom builds, plus a nomination for SEMA 4x4 SUV of the Year. Results of the SEMA member vote will be announced on Monday, Nov. 1.
The Expedition Timberline Off-Grid concept vehicle unveiled at Overland Expo East in Arrington, Virginia, earlier this month will also be on display. The one-off model is based on the new 2022 Expedition Timberline series, the most off-road-capable Expedition ever.

For the first time, stablemates Mustang and Mustang Mach-E are SEMA-bound with a unique mix of five custom builds, including a Mustang Mach-E Shelby® concept and a yin-yang combo from the ever-competitive brothers of California customization, Neil and Gene Tjin.

Ford taps new e-commerce site and products to grow accessories business

This past year has seen a number of new opportunities and accessories from the Ford parts teams. First among them is the launch of the revamped e-commerce site for Ford Licensed Accessories, Genuine Ford Parts and Ford Performance Parts – all converging at accessories.ford.com. There, Ford fans can buy everything online from a 760-horsepower Shelby GT500 engine to a Yakima pop-up rooftop tent, and just about anything in between, and have it shipped to their home.

The accessories business is growing at Ford dealers as well, thanks in part to the number of new Ford vehicles coming to market. The newest addition is the compact Maverick pickup that went on sale this month with its own catalog of more than 160 new Ford parts and accessories. Ford Licensed Accessories add-ons from popular brands like RIGID®, Yakima®, Thule® and FOX® are now available for Maverick pickup customers to roll in at purchase or to customize their trucks down the road. For the first time, a truck cap is available from Ford dealers at launch with a SnugTop® offering for the Maverick pickup.

Shelby Mustang Mach-E GT Concept†

The iconic Shelby name is synonymous with Ford racing and performance – especially with the legendary Shelby Mustang GT350® and GT500® classics. Today, Shelby American returns to the Ford stable with the Shelby Mustang Mach-E concept.

It includes an aerodynamic front fascia, front fenders and rear flares, and a custom hood with large vent to lower front-end lift.

The concept features Shelby-tuned Ford MagneRide dampers with composite carbon fiber springs, and rides on Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires mounted to 20-inch one-piece forged Monoblock wheels. Inside are custom Shelby by Recaro seats and Shelby CSM badge. Inspired by Carroll Shelby’s own dream for electric performance, this concept is a look of could come from the legendary performance brand.

Shelby looks great, except I’m not ite about the side stripes.

Too bad no mention of a power increase.

I am extremely curious how they plan on hitting 200 mph with the other car. Definitely a gear change but it’s also going to need more power somehow.

Love that Shelby prototype. I think it would be even better with that Archetype Racing spoiler found on the Austin Hatcher design.

200 mph? Someone's been tinkering with the code!

I think the Shelby looks bloody awful. Had high hopes for something good, but this isn't it. Overstyled as an attempt to make something different. That nose grafted on does the car no favours.

The Shelby needs whitewalls and fake wire wheel covers to go with the ugly “pinstripes”. If they’d rip those off, the car wouldn’t be half-bad. The nose is supposed to be ugly.

I just figured out what the Shelby is missing - Coach Lamps and Opera Windows ?????

I think the Shelby looks great. I've had my name on the list at Shelby American for quite some time to get my car turned into a Shelby. I'm curious now about the cost. Most Shelby cars coming out of SAI get a supercharger and big brakes. The GTPE won't need either of these so I'm guessing $15 to $20k?

200mph with 480HP? Um, nope. Are they gonna get a Ford GT to tow it to 200 and then release it? Looks mighty good though, crazy negative camber and all.

The Shelby just looks too stickered up, I just can’t deal with that. Wheels and body kit are tough looking though. Plus, is it gonna be true to recent Shelby American form where it costs an additional $25-50K over the regular model and then somehow performs worse?

I like all the "frunk ventilators" everyone is adding - will really help air out that shrimp smell.

Seriously though, I do like the body kit for the Shelby, though the stripes are a bit much. I would hope that it comes with some material performance enhancements, however, if it is just a body kit, then why bother?

I like that big splitter on the Austin Hatcher Foundation car. The wing, not so much. Doesn't look functional from a drag standpoint, and looks too "ricer" for me. If they're planning on 200MPH, that wing has to go and they need some bowling ball hubcaps, a different final drive, different battery, more motor, different software, a bunch of tape on the nose and front of the glass roof, and a huge prayer.

" The concept features Shelby-tuned Ford MagneRide dampers with composite carbon fiber springs, "

I know the top brass at Shelby meets with Ford monthly to go over the product line and potential improvements by Shelby that Ford passed on due to cost of schedule. It wouldn't surprise me if that includes a better "tune."
