Heralded by Ford as the “toughest Ford Super Duty ever,” the 2017 Ford Super Duty dubbed Project Tall Boy was displayed at the Mickey Thompson SEMA Show booth and showcased Mickey Thompson’s new 40-inch Baja MTZP3 tires and 20-inch Sidebiter II wheels. The vehicle was selected for the award based upon the following criteria: New product development, vehicle appearance, marketability/brand fit, use of aftermarket parts and vehicle display.

“Your excellence in building this project provides a benchmark for all other aftermarket companies,” said Lon Zaback, Ford Motor Co.’s manager of global design planning and strategy, in the award letter.
