We certainly come across our fair share of Ford F-150 pickups for sale on a regular basis – including at collector car auction sites – which isn’t terribly surprising, given the fact that it’s been one of the best-selling vehicles on earth for many years now. Those Ford F-150 listings run the gamut from low-mile, bone-stock examples to heavily-modified rides, along with some that were even featured in big-time auto shows. However, this 2017 Ford F-150 stands out from that large pack for one very good reason.

Up for auction at Bring a Trailer, this 2017 Ford F-150 features a full-blown entertainment system in its bed, making it perfect for tailgating or promotional purposes. That setup is rather impressive, consisting of equipment such as two 55-inch LG televisions mounted to hydraulic lifts, along with JBL speakers, a fog machine, a Yamaha mixer, a Samson wireless receiver, a DVD player, and a Xantrex power inverter. All of those goodies are contained under a tonneau cover, so it’s a pretty stealth setup, too.

That’s further aided by the fact that this Ford F-150 otherwise looks to be bone stock, with perfect Shadow Black paint, coupled with 18-inch wheels wrapped in Goodyear Wrangler tires. Inside, the previous owner did upgrade to black Katzkin leather seats that are heated up front, joining amenities such as a rearview camera, remote start, voice-activated navigation, cruise control, and air conditioning.

With just 11k miles on the clock, this Ford F-150 is powered by the twin-turbocharged 2.7L V6 EcoBoost engine, factory rated at 325 horsepower and 375 pound-feet of torque. That power flows to the the rear or all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case.

This rather interesting setup is something similar to what Ford has actually explored via a couple of recent patent filings, notably – one, for a frunk-mounted screen in EVs, as well as another, which gave us an idea for a movable panel and viewing screen.

Brett's lost track of all the Fords he's owned over the years and how much he's spent modifying them, but his current money pits include an S550 Mustang and 13th gen F-150.
