The ROUSH Performance Ford F-150 demonstrates horsepower and torque are king when the subject of performance comes up conversation. Which is why the folks at ROUSH attached their R2300 supercharger to Ford’s 5.0-liter V8, performed the necessary tuning for power and reliability, and created a 650 horsepower/600 lb-ft torque monster engine. A Crown Suspension kit lowers the front 3 inches and the rear 5 inches, while providing dynamic road handling capabilities for the street, drag strip and race track.

Weld custom 22 x 9 inch wheels shod with Falken tires lend their appearance to a ROUSH Performance 3-piece grille and front bumper cover. ROUSH graphics wrap the truck in abstract red, white, gray and black colors. Look for this high-performance truck in Ford’s stand at the 2015 SEMA Show, November 3 – 6.
