The Ford F-150 FP700 Package Supercharges Your Pickup

• The Ford Performance kit includes wheels, graphics, and a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger that’s good for up to 700 hp.
• The appearance package adds 430 pounds to the truck’s curb weight and includes a set of 22-inch alloys.
  
• This kit is available in bronze or black variants with a $12,300 asking price.

If you wanted a 700-hp Ford F-150 and didn’t already drop the big bucks on a Raptor R, the folks at Ford Performance might have a solution for you, rolling out the FP700 package. The name comes from the horsepower figure after topping off your 5.0-liter-powered F-150 with a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger. Of course, just a supercharger doesn’t warrant an entire package name, and this FP700 kit also comes with some appearance upgrades to give your lightly used F-150 sharper styling as well.

The 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger stuffs enough air into the 5.0-liter V8 to generate up to 700 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. For reference, that means your ’21 F-150’s 400 hp is nearly doubled, with almost a 50% bump in torque. That’s a lot of extra oomph. The kit doesn’t include any upgrades to the truck’s fuel system, but it does come with a warranty when installed by a Ford dealer or ASE-certified technician. Ford Performance also says this kit is legal in 50 states and is CARB certified in California.

The appearance package adds 430 pounds to the truck’s curb weight and includes a set of 22-inch alloy wheels, lug nuts, a rear lowering kit, a replacement grille, and some graphics. For the inside, you’ll also get a new set of Ford Performance carpeted floor mats. Now, Ford is offering this with two different exterior packages: Bronze (with bronze-finished rims and graphics) and Black (with gloss black wheels and graphics).

This sounds like a lot, and it costs a lot. Ford will set this package in the bed of your F-150 for $12,300 before taxes. Tires and installation will obviously set you back some extra cash, especially if you want to capitalize on the three-year, 36,000-mile warranty. Though, in the end, you’ll have 700 hp worth of hot-rod pickup to enjoy.
