The world's first truly 100% carbon fiber C/10 pickup truck
This was an awesome project to be a part of, with an incredible team and supporting companies involved, that has won numerous awards and accolades across the industry since its debut in February 2023.
I designed and CAD modeled:
The front fascia (grills, side canards, splitter, lights, bumper)
Most of the carbon fiber pieces in the engine compartment: firewall, engine cover, inner wheel tubs, radiatior cover
Hood vents and vent covers
The door handles (now in production)
The rear spoiler and rear valance, designed for production
Several other odds and ends
The full interior, except the roll cage and seats, focusing on human-centric design and production design principles:
Dashboard, dashboard components, door panels, headliner panel, "floating" driver-centric center console, B-pillar and rear window surround, under dash closeout panels, transmisison tunnel
I also designed all of the ZR/10 branding and logo design, as well as the promo video, slideshow, and infographic board (shown above), all of which are shown in the below gallery (volume up!).
I worked with the owner of Fiber Forged Composites Zach Ingram and the owner of the truck Rod Parsons, taking their ideas and turning them into sketches and class-A surface 3D models, which would subsequently be CNC milled out of aluminum, 3D printed (metal or plastic), or produced in epoxy carbon fiber.
This truck is now in low-volume production (5 or so a year, around $500,000 each), which includes several parts I designed. The parts I designed that are now in production include: carbon dashboard, carbon front inner wheel tubs, carbon firewall, billet aluminum door handles, carbon rear spoiler, ABS front upper grills, ABS front lower grill, carbon engine cover
