A truck built to benefit.
With Barrett-Jackson’s Palm Beach event just around the corner, car collectors around the world are gearing up to take part in the annual festivities while hoping for the chance to bid on some truly exceptional examples. In addition to a vast lineup of collector cars, trucks, and SUVs, builders like RealTruck will be on-scene to showcase and auction bespoke builds to benefit charitable causes. This year, RealTruck is proud to collaborate on a one-of-one Ford F-250 in collaboration with NBA Hall-of-Famer Dwyane Wade.
Dwyane Wade x RealTruck’s one-of-a-kind “Champions Edition” Ford F-250 Super Duty, first revealed at SEMA 2024, is rolling across the auction block at Barrett-Jackson on Friday, April 25th. It’s a full-on custom build by RealTruck, optioned with details that combine serious off-road performance with nods to Wade’s iconic basketball career. From the 6-inch Superlift kit and 37-inch BFGoodrich tires to custom Oracle lighting and Wade’s signature lit up in the headliner, it’s loaded with style. The truck even features a set of gold wheels with Beijing 2008 Olympic floating center caps, adding a personal touch that makes this build truly bespoke.
Underneath the custom features, it’s still a capable 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.2L V8 and 8-speed automatic, but the real story is what it stands for. All proceeds from the auction, 100% of the hammer price, will benefit the Social Change Fund United, a nonprofit co-founded by Wade to support underrepresented communities of color. That makes this truck both a collector-grade custom and a symbol of something bigger than itself.
Whether you’re into custom trucks, a fan of Dwyane Wade, or just want to see how cool a charity auction vehicle can get, this “Champions Edition” Ford F-250 checks every box. The auction goes down around 2:30 p.m. EST on April 25, so keep an eye on that Barrett-Jackson livestream.
