Bracing won’t help you get ready for this Ford F-150 being sold on Facebook Marketplace. Neither will yoga, mindfulness, or two shots of vodka. In fact, nothing can prepare you for the DIY Premier Automotive Group fever dream that is the S-150. J-150? Forduar? Is this technically a Jag-up? Please don’t let this be technically called an F-Type.
The early-aughts Jaguar S-Type is generally regarded as one of the cars of all time. Decent to drive but difficult to look at, it was a turning point for the retro-themed car wave that made everyone with taste wonder, “Erm, are you sure about that?” Coincidentally, the tenth-generation Ford F-Series pickup truck is also the black sheep of its bloodline, a jellybean-shaped workhorse that isn’t remembered with the same reverence of its contemporary GM and Dodge rivals, save for the supercharged Lightning street truck and Matt Hardigree’s weird obsession with jellybean F-150s.
However, the tenth-gen F-Series and the S-Type both shared enough cough drop-shaped DNA that someone thought it would be a good idea to mash parts of both together and see what’s what. Up for sale in Denver, Colo. is this 2001 extended cab F-150 with the grille, headlights, partial bumper, and possibly some of the hood of a Jaguar S-Type. Oh, and it has a Lincoln Navigator front bumper for good measure. If the Lincoln Blackwood actually sold, this would’ve been the next logical step.
While the exterior of this rolling Chimera (no, not the TVR) is fascinating, reports of the interior come across as no less than sumptuous. According to The Drive, this this has a red leather interior and dual sunroofs. If that isn’t ’04 rich, I don’t know what is.
This F-150 has been kicking around Colorado for a long time, so it shouldn’t be surprising that it’s deviated somewhat from the vision it was built with. After all, it’s been photographed rocking at least one flier set of wheels while devoid of the awful, visibility-impinging, two-brain-cells-fighting-for-third-place blue headlight tint. However, time has been kind enough to this creation that it seems pretty much intact, complete with some trademark tropes of the aughts. How about those Lightning-aping Altezza tail lights, the Z3-style louvers in the fenders, and the double-bubble tonneau cover? That’s SEMA 2004 all day, baby.
While it’s impossible to say whether some OEM employee — probably a bean counter — did or did not once ponder a Jaguar pickup truck, the marque isn’t traditionally known for high-end work vehicles. However, you’ll want to count your beans if you’re tempted by this tenth-gen F-150 because the seller wants $10,000 for it. Yeah, that’s a lot of moolah. However, it’s also a real case of ‘find another,’ as I’m sure Jaguar-faced trucks aren’t exactly common.

“The early-aughts Jaguar S-Type is generally regarded as one of the cars of all time”
Thank you, I didn’t know I needed this
I believe I still have a photograph in my old photobucket account of a yellow Ford Ranger with a Mercedes E class W210 front end on it.
That thing was probably put together with the same eye for quality as the half done, half-assed shed behind it. Always look at the background in pics. If they don’t care how it’s presented, they don’t care about the vehicle. No garage, weathered outside in Colorado. I’d be embarrassed to be a passenger in that thing.
What fresh fucking hell is this?
And why would I want to find another exactly?
Well executed chaos.
No one else will have one.
While I wouldn’t go out of my way for it, I like it, it’s unique and extremely well done. Considering the pride and quality of the work, I bet the rest of it is just as clean and well maintained. At least here in the rust belt, I could easily see a stock truck in this condition listed for 10k, let alone the one of a kind aspect.
If I did get it, I would see about changing to clear headlights so I can actually see at night. I kinda dig the thing in the lower intake, it reminds me of an old hard drive ribbon cable. The wheels remind me of a life size Lego set. I don’t hate any of it. Kudos to making a unique vehicle and doing it well.
i think i found the owner! youre right though, its pretty well done.
Do I spy a e53 X5 front bumper?
All that just to be powered by one the worst engines Ford ever produced.
Thanks, I hate it!
Hell no! Who would want this weird pice of fecal matter anyhow?
The front end reminds me of a gerbil. And Gerbils remind me of Richard Gere.
Enough said about that…
It’s not really that bad by post-2019 Silverado standards. Ugly’s not what it used to be though
The truck is bad enough, but what really triggers me is when people leave flotsam and jetsam like that garden hose lying around when the take pictures to sell their vehicles. If this person were your surgeon you’d probably have a sponge or a clamp left in you.
got to have that wet look in pix, yo
Feelings are so conflicted. I loathe it. I love it. I think I’m undergoing mitosis right now.
Wat
Clearly this was aimed at the creators of Ford’s defunct “Premium Auto Group” and inflicting maximum pain on them… with regular Jag and Ford fans being innocent victims getting caught in the pain crossfire.
I thought of PAG too – think the creator has a Volvo or Land Rover version waiting in the wings to shock everyone next? Or an Aston based off a Lightning…
What the Eff how have I never seen this abomination/thing of beauty around town
“Brother, get the flamer, the heavy flamer”
I have a jelly bean F150 and I call this a desecration.
Silly, just silly!
“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
I know I should look away out of respect, but I cant stop staring at it.
Ugly as it is, I custom ordered a 2001 F150 new in short-cab, short-bed, V8, XLT flavor. It was the most reliable truck I have owned so far.
While I never disliked the S-Type, all I have to say about this is *Insert Ryan Reynolds “But Why” meme*
