Ford to offer new kit to transform F-150 into high-performance street truck
- Ford unveiled its lineup of trucks and SUVs at the SEMA show, including several Broncos and F-150s.
- The F-150 FP700S previews an upcoming performance package that will give the pickup 700 horsepower.
- Mustang fans can look forward to two pricey packages that include increased lift, extended fenders and new wheels.
Ford showed off a range of vehicles at the SEMA show, including the Bronco, Bronco Sport and modified versions of the F-150. The company will also display a customized 1969 F-100 along with new personalization kits.
Starting with the fun stuff, the F-150 FP700S is a high-performance street truck that largely flies under the radar because it’s based on the low-slung XL regular cab. Don’t let looks fool you, though, as this rear-wheel-drive pickup is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine paired with a Whipple supercharger. Thanks to this upgrade, the model has 700 hp (522 kW / 710 PS) and 590 lb-ft (799 Nm) of torque.
In addition to the supercharger, the truck also features a Ford Performance Downgrade Kit, cat-back exhaust, and fender vents. They are connected by special badges and graphics.

The F-150 ORV goes in a different direction as it comes equipped with various off-road parts from Ford Performance. Highlights include 2-inch lift, underbody protection and auxiliary lights.
Additional variations are limited, but the truck comes with unique wheels and graphics. This model also comes with a 5.0-liter V8 engine and an auxiliary upgrade switch.
Staying with truck development, Ford teamed up with Solomon Lunger to build a custom 1969 F-100 called the Clyde. It features a carbon fiber body, forged wheels and coilover suspension. Power is provided by a 5.2-liter Raptor R crate engine equipped with a 3.8-liter Whipple supercharger. This should allow it to produce over 900 hp (671 kW / 913 PS) and 700 lb-ft (948 Nm) of torque.
In Bronco land, there’s a 4-door Big Bend that “pays homage to Ford’s mission to keep…roads clean, green, and beautiful for generations to come.” It comes with a 2-inch lift, tubular doors, and a power soft top. They are connected by green wheels and Katzkin leather seats.
A facelifted Bronco Sport will debut with a lift package, custom graphics and 17-inch wheels finished in green. The company also added bad-looking green Katz gold seats.
Finally, the automaker announced the launch of the Ford Custom Garage (FCG), which it says is a new way for owners to customize their vehicles with “exclusive, limited-edition appearance and performance upgrades that will change over time to keep them fresh.” and unique.”
The plan is to roll out matte black and sinister bronze packages for the Bronco. Both come with a 2-inch lift, 17-inch wheels and special badging. They also include extended fenders, a new spare tire carrier and a Ford Performance Parts alignment tool.
Pricing starts at $5,200+, not including installation costs or 35-inch Goodyear all-terrain tires fitted to the wheels. That doesn’t sound too enticing, but Ford has promised additional packages in the future, including a production version of the FP700S for the F-150.
