The truck’s design consists of a rusted version of Vault-Tec’s iconic blue and yellow color scheme and features the company’s mascot Vault Boy on the doors. According to developers Turn 10, the “retro-futuristic Vault-Tec themed Fallout 4 F100 will be sent to all Forza 6 players in celebration of the game’s launch.”
Xbox released the following trailer for the F100 today, suggesting that players take it for a spin to celebrate the release of Fallout 4 next week. The trailer contains footage of the car in-game as well as a still image of the game’s second Fallout themed car at the end.

A Chrysler Rocket coupe - described as “the future of speed” - will also be available to players soon but more information on the second car is yet to be released. The two cars will add to the game’s already impressive roster of vehicles. Forza Motorsport 6 is not the first in its series to contain a vehicle that is based on a video game as Motorsport 4 contained a non-drivable Warthog from the Halo franchise in an effort to advertise Halo 4.
Todd Howard, Game Director at Bethesda Game Studios commented:
This is not the first example of Bethesda’s intuitive marketing for Fallout 4 and over the last few weeks we’ve seen many attempts at advertising the upcoming role-playing game, including yesterday’s release of the Fallout C.H.A.T. app which adds a range of Fallout emoji and GIFs to Android and iOS mobile devices.
Fallout 4, which set to release on November 10th, has been drawing a lot of attention online as some crafty fans have managed to get their hands on early copies, leading to a significant amount of footage and details leaking all over the internet. To further add to the excitement, Bethesda have just released a number of screenshots, highlighting the post-apocalyptic RPG’s lighting, environment and weather effects in the Boston wasteland.
The Vault-Tec themed 1956 Ford F100 is available today, November 4th for Forza Motorsport 6. See our review of the racing game here.
