A unique opportunity arises for truck collectors and car enthusiasts interested in owning a custom Ford Super Duty with celebrity ties while supporting a charitable cause. This “Champions Edition” Ford F-250, resulting from a collaboration between RealTruck and NBA Hall-of-Famer Dwyane Wade, heads to the auction block later this month.
People might remember this heavily customized F-250 revealed during the SEMA show in 2024. RealTruck, a major aftermarket truck parts company, partnered with Wade to create the one-off machine. Now, the truck goes up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday, April 25th. Significantly, RealTruck guarantees that 100 percent of the final hammer price directly benefits Social Change Fund United (SCFU), a non-profit organization Wade co-founded focused on uplifting underrepresented communities of color.
Impressive Suspension Details
What makes this Ford F-250 special beyond the celebrity connection involves extensive modification. It features a major suspension upgrade via a RealTruck Superlift 6-inch lift kit equipped with premium King shocks front and rear. The truck setup clears massive 37-inch BFGoodrich tires mounted on custom brushed gold wheels. Those wheels contain a unique detail: custom floating center caps commemorating Wade’s 2008 Beijing Olympics gold medal.
The truck includes plenty of RealTruck’s own branded gear, such as AMP Research Powerstep XL running boards and a BedStep, plus a RetraxPRO MX retractable tonneau cover securing a custom cargo glide system in the bed. Tough ICI bumpers protect the front and rear, while paint-matched Bushwacker fender flares add to the aggressive stance. Numerous gold mirror chrome accents appear on the door handles, mirrors, and front grille – which even includes a light-up Ford emblem.
A Gold-Clad Homage To Wade
There are also plenty of custom graphics that highlight Wade’s basketball career achievements. Inside, unique lighting includes a starlight headliner featuring Wade’s signature, matching his embroidery on the seats.
The Champions Edition Ford F-250 offers bidders a rare opportunity to acquire a SEMA-debuted custom truck with direct ties to basketball greatness. Beyond its head-turning looks and capable upgrades, the winning bid makes a significant contribution that supports the impactful work of the Social Change Fund United.
Potential buyers should watch the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach auction on April 25th for a chance to acquire this champion’s truck.
