Viewers of AgRally had the opportunity to see AGwagon™ features up close, and see one in action on a farm in Texas. The world’s first purpose-built agriculture pickup truck — AGwagon — was designed by more than a dozen farmers and ranchers in conjunction with FOX Factory Vehicle engineers, and is now on the assembly line at the FOX Factory Vehicle plant in Trussville, Alabama.

At the 2:09:15 – 2:27:57 mark, Broadcaster Mike Davis talks to Flynn Woods, head of product development from FOX Factory, about the development process. Woods shares what they heard from that farmer and rancher group, including the need for suspension and protection upgrades, and interior comfort. Woods takes the viewer around the Ford F-250 in the plant, showing the advanced suspension, rugged wheels, HD front and rear bumpers, proprietary easy-access bed steps at the rear and sides, and 360 degrees of high intensity LED lighting that will keep farmers and ranchers rolling.
At the 2:35:44 – 2:54:40 mark, you get to see the AGwagon in action, as one of the farmers who helped design it takes it for a spin. Crossing ditches, pulling a baler and hitching on a horse trailer all showcase features like air bags for a smoother ride, advanced cameras, auxiliary lights, air compressor and more.
AGwagon can be fully customized to meet the specific needs of every farmer, rancher or agricultural user. Fords are on the line now, but AGwagons will ultimately be available on all domestic manufacturer HD chassis, including RAM, Chevrolet and GMC.
