2015 SEMA Preview: Ford teases seven new F150 concepts for Las Vegas this year

Ford’s turning out to have a heavy presence at this year’s 2015 SEMA show in Las Vegas. They have four versions of the Ford Explorer Sport, three versions of the Ford Edge Sport, and now, you can add seven concepts of the Ford F150.

The F150 front consists of the Ford F150 TKO by MRT, the LEER Edition Outdoorsman F150, the ROUSH Performance F150, the CGS Performance F150, AIRDESIGN Ford F150, and the Galpin Auto Sports F150.

Similarly to their Explorer Sport and Edge Sport concept counterparts, the F150 concepts all feature an extensive list of modifications, all of which are destined to be offered by the respective tuning firms for customers to purchase. Additionally, they are just some of the many ways owners can gain inspiration on ways to modify their own F150.

All of the F150 concepts, except for the F150 TKO by MRT, start life off as F150 Supercrew trucks, and depending on your likes and desires, can help you motor around town or in the boonies with some extra style and kit. The TKO Concept is based off of the regular cab.

Check out the list of F150 concepts you can expect to see at this year’s 2015 SEMA Show after the jump.
