Ford F-150 Halo Sandcat on Display at E3 2015
It might not be a Warthog, but the Ford F-150 Halo Sandcat is heavily inspired by the hit video game series Halo.
On display at E3 2015, the Ford F-150 Halo Sandcat is the result of a collaboration between the American automaker, Xbox, 343 Industries and Galpin Auto Sports to celebrate the upcoming launch of Halo 5: Guardians on the Xbox One console.
This special version of the 2015 Ford F-150 sports a matte army green paint job, but fans of the series will find it more familiar with Master Chief’s shade. Inspired by Halo’s United Nations Space Command vehicle design, the F-150 started as a Lariat SuperCrew FX4 model powered by a 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine.

From there, the team at Galpin Auto Sports added numerous modifications including an Addictive Desert Designs’ Baja XTR off-road conversion kit, custom FOX Racing shocks, Deaver leaf springs, a Currie full floater rear axle, ADD fenders, side steps, a chase rack and 17-inch wheels with off-road tires. Along with the full Halo body wrap, there’s an Xbox One inside the pickup with displays mounted in the rear headrests.
If you’re attending E3 2015, look for the Ford F-150 Halo Sandcat to be on display in the South Hall entrance of the Los Angeles Convention Center.
