Ford revives the road truck with FP700S F-150 concept

• Ford F-150 street truck concept set for 2024 SEMA show
• Concept previews upgrade package to be offered via Ford Custom Garage program
• Upgrade package will include 700-hp supercharger kit for F-150’s V-8

Before the arrival of the F-150 Raptor in 2010, Ford’s performance option for the F-150 was a street truck called the F-150 Lightning, which, unlike its electric contemporary, got here with a V-8 under the hood.

With the F-150 growing in size and weight over time, Ford decided to maneuver away from the road truck concept, but performance technology has caught up, especially in the world of powertrains and brakes, and in consequence Ford is able to entice a brand new generation of street truck fans.

The automaker will do that with a street truck upgrade package for the F-150, which it should preview on the 2024 SEMA show on next week in Las Vegas with the Ford Performance Parts FP700S F-150 concept. The upgrade package shall be made available via a recent customization program dubbed Ford Custom Garage, which the automaker will even launch at next week’s SEMA show.

The precise features that shall be included within the package shall be announced closer to the market launch, however the Ford Performance Parts FP700S F-150 concept hints at what’s to come back.

The concept is predicated on a F-150 XL Regular Cab with a 5.0-liter V-8 and rear-wheel drive. The engine is fitted with a Ford Performance FP700 supercharger upgrade that lifts output to 700 hp from the stock 400-hp rating. A cat-back exhaust system can also be fitted.

Other upgrades include lowered suspension, front fender vents, unique badging and graphics. Hopefully an upgraded brake package will even be included in the ultimate offering.

All the packages to be offered via Ford Custom Garage will maintain Ford’s recent vehicle warranty, and vehicles can still be serviced at any Ford dealership.

Ford will even use the SEMA show to present an F-150 designed for advanced off-roading. Called the Ford Performance ORV F-150, the concept is predicated on an F-150 XLT FX4 with a 5.0-liter V-8, and features upgrades like a Bilstein 2.0-inch suspension lift kit, underbody protection, auxiliary upfit switches, additional driving lights, and unique wheels and body graphics.
