Rough Country debuts a 2025 Tacoma TRD Off-Road build at SEMA with suspension, recovery gear, and storage upgrades.

SEMA is a trade-only event in Las Vegas where builders and brands show new products, custom builds, and training for industry professionals. The show draws truck, SUV, and off-road enthusiasts who look for upgrades built for real use. Our last time at SEMA was 2008. For the return, we brought a 2025 Tacoma TRD Off-Road build that stands on purpose and function.

2025 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Build: Rough Country Returns to SEMA

Storm chaser Ricky Forbes built his 2022 Ford F-250 “Brutus” with Rough Country accessories for extreme off-road control.

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">When most people see a storm coming, they run for cover. Ricky Forbes hits the gas. His 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty Lariat, nicknamed Brutus, isn’t just a truck. It’s a rolling fortress built to stare down the kind of weather that sends the rest of us inside. Packed with Rough Country upgrades, this beast takes the worst Mother Nature can throw and keeps pushing forward.

Built for the Chase: The Story Behind Ricky Forbes’ F-250 “Brutus” 

Get your rig ready for fall trail season with expert off-road tips and gear recommendations. Learn how to handle mud, rain, and rough terrain with better traction, smart driving, and key upgrades like mud tires, skid plates, and LED lights

Cool air, fewer crowds, and that earthy smell of rain on dirt makes fall the perfect time to get out and explore. But while the season delivers beauty, it also brings slick mud, surprise water crossings, and hidden obstacles lurking in the wet ground. This isn’t about overlanding comfort, it’s about gear and technique that keep you crawling over rocks, not crawling out of a ditch.
