Win the Blackout F-350: a Murdered-Out 2013 Ford F-350 Plus $2,500 Cash

What you're looking at

The headline prize in Official Lifted Trucks' current sweepstakes is the "Blackout F-350" — a 2013 Ford F-350 finished, as the name promises, in a murdered-out black-on-black theme. On top of the truck, the winner pockets $2,500 in cash. The sponsor lists the truck's Approximate Retail Value at $20,000, which puts the whole package around $22,500.

Here's the honest part: the giveaway page and the official rules are thin on the truck itself. There's no stated engine, no transmission or drivetrain, no mileage, no lift spec, and no wheel-and-tire callout — and the truck is awarded "AS-IS." That matters for an F-350, where the gap between a 6.7L Power Stroke diesel 4x4 and a base gas 2WD is enormous. A clean diesel crew cab from 2013 typically retails well north of the $20,000 ARV quoted here, so the modest stated value is a signal worth reading: it may point to a gas engine, higher miles, a simpler configuration, mostly cosmetic mods, or a title that isn't squeaky clean. None of that is disclosed, so treat the visuals as the build and verify the VIN, title, and powertrain before you get attached.

Why it matters

A blacked-out three-quarter-ton Super Duty is exactly the kind of truck this audience wants — it's a daily-usable, tow-anything platform with the kind of dark, aggressive look that costs real money to replicate. And the entry economics are friendly: paid entries are earned at one entry per $1 spent at the store, so there's no steep buy-in wall, and a real mail-in free route exists for people who'd rather not spend a dime. For a sub-$25,000 prize, that's a reasonable risk-to-reward setup compared to the six-figure exotic raffles where odds evaporate.

The fine print worth knowing

Entries are earned at one entry per $1 spent (pre-tax subtotal, excluding shipping and discounts) at officialliftedtrucks.com, with bonus multipliers running at times — the homepage was advertising a "60x entries" window against a countdown. Quick Entry Packs are sold at $25 (Bronze), $100 (Silver), $250 (Gold) and $500 (Diamond); the per-pack entry counts didn't render cleanly for us, so confirm them on-site. The free, no-purchase mail-in entry is worth 25 entries, limited to one per household. The window runs May 1, 2026 through July 5, 2026 (11:59:59 p.m. CST), with the drawing on or about July 5, 2026. You must be a U.S. resident and at least 18 (or the age of majority where you live). The grand prize is the truck plus $2,500 cash, or a $10,000 cash alternative if you'd rather skip vehicle ownership. The winner gets a 1099, so budget for the tax bill, and remember the AS-IS terms.
