Roush Performance debuts 600 hp Ford F-150 SC Truck
Ever wanted a truck with supercar horsepower figures? Can’t wait until Ford releases the 2017 Ford Raptor, likely with “only” 450 hp? You’re in luck. The 600 hp F-150 SC from Roush Performance is here and you can even get it with a warranty.
The 5.0 V8 now makes 600 hp and 755 Nm of torque thanks to the Roush Phase 1 Supercharger kit with an R2300 Eaton TVS blower strapped on to it. This mill powers up the stock unit by 215 horses.
The truck is also fitted with a Fox 2.0 Performance Series Suspension which enhances its off-road capabilities while preserving some of the on-road dynamics, although apparently it’s not supposed to chase the Raptor on the dunes. The 20-inch Roush wheels are shod with 305/55-series Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ rubber. To accommodate this mighty set of tyres, Roush has stuck on some fender flares. Clearance lights are integrated on to the flares as well as the Roush grille. The graphics on the hood, tailgate and the windscreen give it a unique identity.
The Roush F-150 SC will cost about Dhs 85,000 over the price of the stock truck. Roush has already started shipping examples of these to U.S. dealers, and it’s likely UAE and other GCC dealers can order these for you too.

Yeah indeed I am waiting for the F150 Raptor 2017, because it has more options than this truck, more power and sound does not make it great, it just shows that they are appealing to a niche market, and this will guzzle gas like every other truck. There are many downsides to such trucks.

This is kindof a joke now.
I have seen AT increase the cost of the Raptor by insane %’s.
When they were first launched it was around 170k AED, then magically it jumped to 210k AED last year, this year I was walking past them in the showroom, and low and behold the cost is now a whopping 260k AED.
Seriously, the price of oil is low, the cost to manufacture is low, the cost to ship them here is low, but yet the price is increasing.
PLUS, strangely enough if you buy the Roush / anything supercharged with AT, it has ZERO maintenance IE you have to pay as you go, unlike all the other non supercharged vehicles which come with a free maintenance contract for 3 years… what a joke.
Increase the cost of the few cars, that people buy as a second or third car… has Ford even looked into this? after all AT is only a REP!

Yeah new cars people will pay, so Al Tayer increases the price mark, the funny fact is, that the 2017 Raptor will approx. cost $55,000. if we convert to here its around 200k AED, I know logistics very well and with import cost and etc, it will come up to 240k-250k, but the best part is that AT will sell it for 350k or plus. 🙂 so now you can imagine where the cost magically appears from 🙂

When you keep saying AT, many won’t know what your talking about.
I first thought it meant automatic transmission, then figured out AT means Al Tayer.
Please be clear next time,helps everyone reading it

So this supercharged roush will have 150 HP more than a raptor and still cost almost 100,000 dhs less than the raptor ? Why get the new raptor when this beast can be bought at 250 ?
