Series 1 Mustang RTR Test Drive
The Series 1 Mustang RTR is a limted-edition collaboration between Ford and drift racing driver Vaughn Gittin Jr aimed at young enthusiasts.
Ford Mustang racing driver Vaughn Gittin Jr. is becoming quite the truck salesman.

The champion drift driver runs a performance parts and custom car company called RTR Vehicles – the initials stand for “Ready to Rock” – that started out with modified Mustangs based on his competition cars, but added F-150s last year and is now selling a high performance Ranger pickup build.

Along with styling updates that include fender flares, graphic decals and Gittn’s trademark illuminated grille, the $9,800 package comes with off-road Fox 2.0 coilover shocks, a Ford Performance exhaust for the Ranger’s 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, 17-inch RTR wheels with Nitto Ridge Grappler Tires and a numbered dash plaque with an authentic Gittin signature. It's available globally, but addresses a performance gap in the Ranger's U.S. lineup that Ford has yet to fill on its own.

Gittin offers its own products like the Ranger as dealer-installed options packages through a network of authorized Ford outlets, but is also collaborating directly with the automaker on a limited run of Series 1 RTR Mustang that comes with a full factory warranty.
