- Last night, I'm at home,
I see on custom-op that says Snapchat story,
these two things, and I'm like, what the heck are those.
- Oh that is like, oh yeah, Holiday,
these guys,
hooked us up with some SCA edition trucks
and we get to go drive them and tell them
what we think.
- [Fuller] Yeah.
- [Sean] Yeah, that's what's happenin'.
So went and did some research, cause we had never
heard of SCA, when they told us they had some SCA
trucks to come out and check we were like
we don't know what that means.
Um, apparently we are just a couple years behind because
they didn't used to be called SCA they were
Southern Comfort Automotive.
Everybody has seen the Southern Comfort Chevys.
And then they also make the Apex,
we found out that they actually had
a big part in the Reefer truck. We still can't
figure out if they did any of the performance stuff,
but definitely the cosmetics from what it sounds like.
- [Fuller] They're a lot older than what people think too,
cause they're actually around- - They're as old as you.
- They're way older than me.
There's older-
- They were born the same year as me.
- So, and they started off with vans,
from what I can read online, and now it's into
the modern trucks that everybody is seeing today.
- Which is smart in my opinion because that
Southern Comfort Edition I think, it was cool,
but it was kinda like the Wal-Dot thing.
It's been around forever, it's kinda your dad had one,
or your cool uncle had one.
But I think when they
came out with SCA, their whole intent was
to grab some of the popular brands like Rigid,
and then make some of the stuff themselves,
but come up with a much cleaner logo,
and kinda hit the little bit younger crowd.
However, we are going to talk about the price
at some point.
I'm not so sure that that's
aimed at the younger crowd.
So we'll have to see.
So now you can do what you want to do
and why don't you tell them, take them through your truck.
- So I guess we'll just start at
the front and work our way back.
Obviously the first thing that I noticed was the paint,
on both of them it's a matte paint and this is
actually paint it's not vinyl.
- But the finish is fricken sweet.
Like, everybody that's been driving by the shop
and stuff is asking about these things,
ever since they showed up, so.
- They have their own bumper, this is an SCA bumper,
and then behind here, they've got Rigid pods,
and then they've got the Rigid, what's probably
a twenty inch, behind here as well.
- I think that's shorter.
Well, it might be a single rote,
eighteen or twenty?
Cause this ones got a twenty in the grill.
So I've got an upgraded grill too.
Which appears to be a complete Rigid
grill and light bar package.
So they are a little different.
There's one thing.
- Okay.
So, six-inch lift too.
And they said a true lift.
I don't know what that means,
maybe they made sure and got the full six inches
out of it.
I guess I don't measure a lot of lifts
to see if they've got a true six inches.
But that is one thing that they said.
- So you can see that they've got the SCA logo
on the front cross number here but it looks
pretty similar to like a Fabdech kit.
And then something different, the strut spacer
is actually on the bottom here,
so it bolts around the shock, these look like
Rancho shocks which is like what comes with the
Z71 package, and all your height change is from the spacer
on the bottom, but-
- Oh wow.
- The angles and everything-
- Instead of the spacer on top of the strut here-
- The angles are great.
So a lot of Toyotas use this same style lift.
But I haven't seen it on
a lot of Chevys.
- Yeah it's super different.
- Diff drop looks like yeah, they have typical
drop brackets in there.
So it's got 22x12,
we're assuming they get like a negative forty-four offset
probably, I think we'll be able to do a test, quick though.
So let's start, oh crap. [Rachel]
an out of money.
We'll have to do a twenty.
So you can see that it's got, you know, if you look
at the concavity of it, it's like seven or eight inches.
So it's, you know,
concave all day.
It's definitely gonna be
a negative forty-four at least.
If not maybe the negative
fifty-one offset on the twelve wide.
And they wrapped it in the Toyo open country R/T,
it looks like, I think they used to run a lot
of BFG we saw in the Southern Comforts
and what not, but these are running the
Toyo R/T, and those are I'm sure,
thirty-five twelve and a half, I didn't look at them yet.
Yeah, thirty-five twelve and a half, R22's.
So a twelve wide negative
forty-four on a six inch lift,
typically you have to do some trimming in the bumper,
but because they did the bumper that way, there's
nothing there, but it'd be interesting to see
if it hits on the back, and then we can
crawl in there.
And you can see they've
got a large style pocket-style fender play
which I believe is their own also.
(truck engine roars)
Ha, I see what they did.
You can kill it.
Look at what they did, which is brilliant.
Probably gonna re-think this ourselves.
They went in here and they trimmed out their flare,
and then they trimmed out all the metal,
but then they replaced it with a plastic pocket
of their own that folds up behind here and then reattached
all of this so they don't have that open gap,
which a lot of us end up with when we try to trim these,
they made a pocket, a plastic pocket that goes up in there,
which is absolutely brilliant,
it ends up looking like a factory edge,
it's you know, it's that rough plastic,
but it's being hidden by the fender flare.
It's actually super smart.
And it clears for days.
You can definitely jump in it.
You're not going to.
But you could, should, should not jump in-
- You know that roundabout down there?
- Don't jump it.
But the wheels I saw in their videos,
they definitely designed them,
they were actually involved in the actual design.
Very feel assault-looking, I think that's why I like them.
They've been super popular for us,
for some of the dealer builds.
They're just kinda a neutral wheel that a lot of people
can get around.
It's got a ton of machining, milling, exposed lug nut.
(upbeat music)
- [Sean] It looks like they bed lined the whole-
- Drop-in or spray?
- Spray.
- Cool.
- And then these are the Black Widow Military Edition,
so they have the uh,
- Oh yeah, the military symbols, yeah.
Armed Forces Edition Black Widow I believe they called it?
And then they've got an Apax Edition,
which is a little different, and then they
do some Jeep stuff.
I mean, it seems like
they've got their hands in a lot of stuff.
There's one video I saw, and it shows their factory,
and it's pretty big.
Like, it's got tens of thousands
of square feet, for sure.
And they have an assembly line and everything rockin'.
- The interior on mine is color matched,
I don't know if yours is too, but it's
that same matte paint.
Oh all the dash panels, yeah.
So all the dash panels are all color matched,
the center counsel.
The seats, the headrests,
have the logos on them.
- Yeah, lots of attention to detail.
Cause even the gauges are Black Widow Edition gauges.
- They paid attention to all the little details.
- Yeah.
- I think that's what I like the most.
Well they don't seem to be cutting any corners.
- Yeah, like the paint, you know, it's a good paint job.
Cause it's all over coverage, like
I don't know what color this truck used to be.
And like go over decals, like you see like
cheap stuff like that done sometimes,
and this is all, looks like it came from
the factory and that's kinda the whole point, with SCA.
What I like is because they did the flares in the
twelve wides, you have very little tread sticking out,
so it shouldn't throw much for rocks,
but when you were driving I could absolutely
see those wheels sticking out of the fenders.
So I think legal-wise, it'll be good.
You won't get messed with with the cops.
But um, it still has that big wide stance to it.
I would've tinted the tail lights,
but that's probably another legal issue for brand-new.
- So what everybody's gonna wanna know then is,
if you buy one of these, how do they drive?
- Yeah, so like what happens when you jump it?
- So let's go jump it.
- Okay.
- I call the gray one!
- No, I'm taking the gray one.
- It'd be a bummer if we ran into
each other right in the parking lot.
- So I'm not sure what Sean is going to say,
cause we don't, we can't talk to each other,
we can only talk to the camera men,
but we're just gonna kinda drive these around and
see how they ride.
Cause this is an SCA lift kit,
and they have their own.
And I guess kinda just
talk about what it's like on different road surfaces
and kinda point out some interior stuff,
like we already mentioned but like this one has
all the painted interior which matches the exterior,
which is super cool.
- I can hear that there's probably a rumble to the exhaust.
But because they make the cabins in
these so nice these days, I can't hear the exhaust at all,
which is kinda nice. Cause I know I when I heard it
start up when Fuller started his, I could hear it
when I was outside.
- [Fuller] As far as exhaust goes,
it like, it sounds good at idle,
but even getting on it, it's not really that loud.
Which is kinda nice, because that way, on the highway,
you're not getting like crazy drone or anything like that.
This is our media van if you've ever seen it. That's Max.
He's like sixteen.
Fastest film maker we got, so.
- [Sean] This ride is actually, pretty good.
For a second there, I forgot I was even in a lifted truck,
till I drove past these people and
really saw how tall I was compared to them.
It really does feel like a factory truck, like an OEM.
Set up, let me turn them off before somebody gets mad at us.
I'd love to take this up to the highway
and see what it does on that really
crappy concrete highway that we have.
- [Fuller] Where's he going?
Where're you going?
We had a plan.
Sean's not following the plan.
- I didn't stick to the plan.
They should know by now that I don't stick with the plan.
So this is about the roughest highway
I've been on in my life. So it'd be a good test.
I know our twenty-five hundred bounces like a basketball
down this highway, so.
If you can even hear me talk
and I don't have that (makes jittery sound)
helicopter voice.
Yeah, it's good.
Yeah, I mean that's a pretty good ride.
- [Fuller] So short sprint on the highway, and this highway
is actually pretty rough, the way that the concrete
breaks and they have it cut in lines,
for the freeze cracks, so it's like every ten feet
there's a crack or a bump that you're hitting
and I don't know if you can tell on camera or not,
but I was actually pretty impressed.
Definitely better quality than what you get
out of Rough Country, not quite as good as
like a full coil set up obviously,
but still pretty decent ride on the highway,
I could definitely daily drive this.
- [Sean] I'd be very happy with that,
that wouldn't bother me at all.
It's such a bad habit, bye Fuller.
He's gonna off road, that's awesome.
- [Fuller] So I don't drive a lifted truck everyday,
So I have to compare it to a car, but I
think these would actually ride pretty good.
- They ride really good.
That was the roughest highway
that we have in Wisconsin, and Lawson and I
were on it with C02 yesterday,
and chipped our teeth, that was smooth.
That's why I wanted to go up there.
It's, I'm impressed.
- [Fuller] There's no bumps here, no vibration, no shaking.
- Oh I didn't even realize that, yeah,
I noticed the steering was super tight.
- [Fuller] Yeah, I'm actually really impressed with these.
- Yeah, same. Back to the shop we go.
(upbeat music)
Yep, I'll take two.
- Here you go!
- So what do you think?
- I was super impressed with drivability.
I was telling Lawson that I could definitely
like, daily drive one of these, no problem.
- Yeah you didn't feel like you were on twenty-two's
and a six inch lift.
You could tell you were on a lifted truck.
I did, you can feel
the little bit of stiffness that a lifted truck brings,
but it was one of the better lifted trucks
that I've ridden in.
- Yeah.
- And it's nice to know that a brand new truck
still feels like a brand new truck.
That was probably my biggest thing.
- Yep, because if you're gonna spend the money
on something new, you want it to perform like new.
- And for some reason because of those hood vents
on those hoods, I felt like I was in like a Baha truck,
it felt really wide up front, which I really liked.
You knew you were in a Black Widow truck,
- For sure.
- I mean you literally you knew that's what you
were driving at all times.
And so did those chicks that saw us go by, just sayin'.
- Cut.
(cut beep)
So the last thing that everyone's gonna wanna know is,
so how much are they?
- They're not bad.
They're not six figures.
Mine is window sticker about $89,000.
- And I think mines just a little bit less than that
like $87,000 something, cause I don't have the grill,
that's about it though.
- And I think, the base truck is $57,000.
So it's about a $30,000 package.
- And they put that right on the sticker,
it shows you how much they spent to upgrade it.
- Yep, and it's got all the tuff lift stuff,
which we caught every one of them, which is cool.
The good news is that mines on sale,
like twelve grand off right now.
- So mine is even deeply discounted more than that,
I'm at $74,000.
- And I think the difference we decided
was the grill, right?
- Yep.
- So we did a little math, and monthly, it's about,
a thousand bucks a month, I think one of my sales
$1200 a month, on like a six year loan, and all that stuff,
so do I think everybody should just go up
and buy one of these?
No, do I think somebody that can come up
with a little down payment and snap one of these up,
would it be worth it?
Absolutely.
- The best part about these trucks is the fact that
you don't have to build anything,
and you don't have to wait for parts to come in,
you can just go to the dealership, you pick it up,
and drive away.
- If you don't wanna decide what wheels fit,
if you don't wanna decide what size,
these are one of our favorite tires.
We're pretty happy with the fitment of the wheel,
we're happy with the style. I mean, just in general.
And then, they're legal. You know,
your tires aren't sticking out too far,
but still, whenever you got in front of us,
I was just super happy with how aggressive the truck looks.
It's not like the old school packages that just,
they were close, but they didn't quite get it.
SCA is definitely paying attention to the trends.
- For sure.
- So, I would say, you know, we should get a couple.
- I'm in.
- We, let's go get a second job though.
- That was real though, big thank you
to Holiday Automotive for sending these trucks up
so we could play with them, super cool experience for me,
I'm glad that I get to drive these for a living.
- Keep them coming.
If you guys got any other cool stuff
all over America, just send it to us, and we'll just
drive it around and make videos of it.
That will be our new job. Peace.
- Peace.
