The PVD department has already laid its wand on the Ford Bronco to presto up the Fox Manufacturing unit PVD Ford Bronco KOH Version, and on the Jeep Wrangler to provide the Black Widow Version Wrangler (Fox additionally owns Jeep specialist Black Widow). Subsequent up is the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RST, its transformation right into a Fox Manufacturing unit Version giving Bowtie lovers an opportunity to run the dunes within the methods of the Ford F-150 Raptor and Ram TRX.
