SEMA 2025: Lippert Brands And APEX Custom Innovations Build Enviable 2025 Ford F-350

This 2025 Ford F-350 Super Duty display truck, completed by Carrollton, Texas-based APEX Custom Innovations, demonstrates how Lippert’s automotive division integrates components from its multiple brands into a single, heavy-duty platform. Rather than focusing on a single accessory category, this build showcases a range of equipment, including towing equipment, front-end protection, running boards, lighting brackets, and transfer-tank-level utility—all sourced from the Lippert portfolio. These products are accentuated by the truck’s 4-inch lift and custom 20-inch wheels wrapped in 37s.

Lippert—whose founder, Lawrence “Larry” Lippert, passed away on August 19, 2025—is a parent organization that encompasses several well-known aftermarket manufacturers. These brands cover a wide range of truck accessory categories. CURT (a brand that everyone who tows has heard of) specializes in towing hardware, including hitches, gooseneck systems, and towing connection components. LUVERNE manufactures running boards, steps, and exterior protection products aimed at work trucks and fleet vehicles. Ranch Hand is known for heavy-duty steel bumpers, grille guards, and headache racks commonly used in agriculture, ranching, and commercial applications. UWS focuses on transfer tanks, toolboxes, and storage products designed for trucks that require additional fuel capacity or need to secure cargo space.

APEX Custom Innovations, the builder, is a fabrication and vehicle solutions shop. It specializes in custom configuration: suspension upgrades, widebody kits, paint protection film, vinyl wraps, exterior fabrication, accessory integration, electrical routing, and project-level assembly. In this case, its role was integrating products from several Lippert brands onto a single Ford chassis.
