Ford to Sell Supercharged F-150 Street Truck
- Ford will offer numerous factory-backed parts and accessories packages through the Ford Custom Garage.
- One of those will be a 700-horsepower upgrade for the F-150, backed by a full warranty when installed by a dealer.
- The F-150 FP700S is one of several vehicles on display in the Ford booth at this year’s SEMA Show.
Ford is headed to SEMA with trucks and SUVs to showcase something called Ford Custom Garage. In short, it’s a new way the automaker will bundle and sell various dealer-installed upgrades to customers. Instead of browsing through Ford’s catalog of accessories and performance parts, Ford Custom Garage puts together a package and slaps a price tag on it. Provided the installation is done by an authorized dealer, it’s covered under warranty.
The program launches with some simple Bronco packages that are largely aesthetic, but we’re interested in the one that turns an F-150 into a 700-horsepower street truck. Add some SVT badges and it could be 1999 all over again.

Showcasing this package is a project truck called the F-150 FP700S. It follows the classic muscle car formula by taking a humble everyday vehicle—in this case, a 2024 F-150 XL single-cab pickup—and stuffing big power under the hood. Its 5.0-liter V-8 gets a supercharger and the components necessary to make it work, boosting output to 700 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. The package also includes a new cat-back exhaust system, a fender vent kit, and lowering springs. And all that power goes solely to the rear wheels. If you want four-wheel drive, get a Raptor.
Pricing isn’t available yet; Ford isn’t quite ready to sell this package but promises it will come at a later date. Unfortunately, you can’t buy the other Ford street truck on display at SEMA this year. Ford Performance worked with Solomon Lunger to build “Clyde,” a 1969 F-100 pickup packing the same 5.2-liter supercharged V-8 found in the F-150 Raptor R. Actually, there is one notable difference—a massive 3.8-liter supercharger force-feeds the engine, creating over 900 hp in the process. The highly custom truck had carbon fiber body panels, and it ditches the old-school truck suspension in favor of coilovers.
