Turn 14 Distribution is turning a single-cab Ford F-150 into the ultimate blend of performance and utility with a fully built Yamaha YZ250F riding in the bed.
Most shop trucks spend their lives hauling parts across the lot or making supply runs. Turn 14 is building one with a power-hungry alter ego that can put down a pass after clocking out.
The plan for The Ultimate Shop Truck pairs a single-cab, short-bed Ford F-150 powered by a 5.0L Coyote V8 with a '25 Yamaha YZ250F 70th Anniversary Edition riding in the bed. This tag-team creation brings leading automotive and powersports partners together for a one-of-a-kind build destined for one lucky Turn 14 dealer.
Party in the Front
The shop truck has always been a utility tool. It's the workhorse designated for transporting supplies and keeping the shop moving. Turn 14's latest build keeps that working-class identity intact, then adds enough power to make the trip back to the shop far more interesting.
Under the hood, Ford's 5.0L Coyote V8 provides muscle car grunt and a proven performance foundation for the F-150. While big power is the plan, the project is also intended to balance dependable utility with the joy of driving. The combination is being developed with EPA and CARB requirements in mind, proving what's possible when substantial performance is built for the street.
The F-150 may still look at home outside a performance shop, but it will be ready to hold its own at the dragstrip.
Party in the Back
This performance-packed truck is only half of the story. When it's not hauling supplies, it will carry a fully built '25 Yamaha YZ250F 70th Anniversary Edition dirt bike.
The YZ250F is already a proven motocross platform straight from the factory. Turn 14 will build on that foundation using products available through its expanding powersports line card, turning the anniversary-edition bike into a proper counterpart for the Coyote-powered F-150.
This Yamaha won't be just a display piece strapped into the bed. While the F-150 is being built to perform on pavement, the YZ250F will be ready to take over once the pavement ends.
Built by Rockstar Performance Garage
To ensure both builds deliver more than show-floor looks, Turn 14 is once again turning to its trusted build partner, Rockstar Performance Garage. With experience spanning both sides of the aftermarket, the team is the ideal choice to transform the Yamaha and its Yamahauler into a cohesive pair.
Transforming a basic F-150 into a street-friendly drag contender is only part of the challenge. The YZ250F needs to feel like an extension of the same project without compromising what makes each vehicle functional.
Rockstar Performance Garage will oversee the transformation of both machines, giving them a shared identity and the same show-level attention. The finished pair will be built for use well beyond the convention floor.
Worlds Collide
The Ultimate Shop Truck reflects the crossover already found in plenty of enthusiasts' garages. Motorcycles often sit beside highly modified project cars, and the shops supporting those customers rarely limit themselves to one corner of the industry.
By pairing the F-150 with the YZ250F, Turn 14 is showcasing the breadth of its automotive and powersports offerings through two vehicles built for completely different forms of performance.
One hauls. The other gets hauled. Both are being built to perform.
The finished pair will make its official debut at the 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, November 3-6. Turn 14 will reveal the project's build partners and share behind-the-scenes updates as The Ultimate Shop Truck comes together.
