Super Bowl LVIII: the 4x4s of the NFL

We might be dubbed 4X4 “Australia”, but sometimes we like to branch out and inspect some popular vehicles abroad.

With the ever-popular Superbowl taking place on Monday, February 12 (our time), we thought we’d take a quick look at what some of the NFL’s best scoot around in. Unsurprisingly, prepare for super-sized builds and plenty of F-trucks.

Dak Prescott: Ford F-350

Dallas Cowboys quarterback, Dak Prescott, has a customised 2022 Ford F-350 upgraded by the team at RealTruck, a powerhouse aftermarket source in the USA.

The formidable F-350 is off-road ready thanks to the addition of a 3.5-inch lift kit from Superlift, in combination with a set of Nitto Ridge Grappler 37s. A 12,000lb Warn Zeon winch up front is a safety switch in case of emergencies. Other mods include Road Armor Vaquero heavy duty bumpers; Bushwacker Extend-a-Fender Flares; Morimoto XB Black LED headlights and tail lights; 4Banger LED fog lights; AMP Research Power Step XL automatic running boards; Retrax’s PowertraxPRO retractable truck bed; and a Dometic powered cooler.

Josh Allen: Ford F-150 Shelby Raptor

Josh Allen, quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, has a decent car collection consisting of a Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, Range Rover Sport, Mercedes-Benz G Wagen and an Aston Martin Vantage.

Until recently, he also floated around in a twin-turbo V8-powered custom-built Shelby-tweaked F-150 Baja Raptor wearing 37-inch BFGoodrich KM3 mud-terrain tyres. Allen traded in the vehicle to the dealership he bought it from, and they in turn gave the truck away to charity.

Tyreek Hill: Ford F-250 Platinum

Tyreek Hill is a wide receiver at the Miami Dolphins, and his glitzy custom F-250 Platinum is packed full of kit.

None more eyeball-grabbing than the Stryker Off Road Designs 8-inch lift powdercoated in black. Other mods include 26x14 Candy Red Fuel Runner wheels inside 37x1350x26 AMP muddies; a 4 link upgrade long arm; dual stabiliser; Center Cradle Ladder Traction Bars; and 2.5-inch coilover Reservoir Sniper shocks.

Travis Kelce: GMC Hummer EV

A tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce is another NFL player with a spectacular car collection.

The line-up includes a Rolls-Royce Ghost, 1970 Custom Chevrolet Chevelle SS, Mercedes Benz AMG G63, Range Rover V6, GMC Terrain SUV and a Cadillac Escalade. He’s also been seen in a new all-electric GMC Hummer SUV that’s capable of the 0-100km/h dash in just 3.3 seconds.

John Burrow: Lordstown Endurance Truck

The quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals owns a vehicle most people know little about: a Lordstown Endurance Truck.

The full-size battery electric pick-up truck can tow up to 8000 pounds (3628kg) and has a range of more than 400km on a single charge, and its rugged design combined with four in-wheel hub motors is said to give it an all-terrain ability.

Patrick Mahomes: 2019 Nissan Titan XD Rocky Ridge Edition

Until recently, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback owned a custom-designed 2019 Nissan Titan XD Rocky Ridge Edition.

Auctioned off at the end of 2023, the limited edition Titan is powered by a 5.6-litre V8, and it was modified with custom bumpers, lighting and metallic paintwork. On the inside, it features a slick seat stitching.
