CLAYCOMO, Mo., March 29, 2016 – #ford, America’s #truck leader, salutes #kansas City’s world championship by announcing a limited run of 300 #ford #f150mvpedition trucks built at #kansas City Assembly Plant.
Based on the F-150 XLT with chrome package and available in either Oxford White or Blue Flame, #f150mvpedition includes special MVP badging, unique polished stainless rocker panels and a spray-in bedliner.
The 2016 #ford #f150mvpedition started as an idea from Marc Lassalle, a #kansas City Royals fan, to celebrate his team’s second world championship. It follows the 1986 #ford Ranger MVP edition, created and sold in 1985 to celebrate #kansas City’s first time as world champions.
“Like our manufacturing team members at #kansas City Assembly Plant, the #kansas City Royals are a great example of what terrific teamwork can accomplish,” said Gary Johnson, #ford vice president for North America manufacturing.
F-150 MVP edition customizations are added at #kansas City’s unique SubTropolis underground business complex, where #ford applies custom accessories to its vehicles in the energy-efficient cave system.
Ford worked with former #kansas City Royals star Bret Saberhagen, from the 1985 team roster, and Salvador Pérez, from the 2015 #kansas City lineup, to promote the #f150mvpedition.
Saberhagen will be on hand today to greet #kansas City Assembly Plant employees. Midwest #ford Dealers has also renewed its sponsorship agreement with the #kansas City Royals for 2016.
The #f150mvpedition is on sale now at #kansas City area #ford dealers.
