- We test the new Ford F-150 FP700, a sports performance truck with a supercharged powerplant making 700 horsepower. This F-150 is not like the rest thanks to the enhanced powertrain and lowered suspension, but is it a proper street truck?
Watch our full review on the Ford F-150 FP700 and let us know what you think in the comments.

It may not have the name anymore, but in my mind this is the real "Ford Lightning"
Yeah that makes way more sense than the truck that actually runs on lightning lol
@@AK_Ray Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of a flame.
QUIET!!! Ford will see that and tack another $75,000 on it!!!
@@19jody72if they add a 6 spd
This one cost more and is smaller & surprisingly slower 0-60 than my real 23 ford lightning.
Love the haters. The lightning is such a sleeper it doesn't even make a sound when it goes FASTER! 😂
Wait this is really from Ford??? Wow that's amazing. I was caught off guard by this one since I don't follow other truck channels and I only need to follow Truck King because they are best, no endless filler and simply unmatched on the hardware aspect of these machines.
Just wait till they get Andre from TFL to this channel.
@@induction7895that would be amazing, Andre is a gem
😂
You can get launch control for $5k ...its called pushbutton 4x4 option. All the fast boosted street F150s have it. Only way to go if your gonna go crazy w these.
The '24 XLs will come w LED exterior lighting, all digital dash amd the big screen and power doors for same price.
The 4WD GMC Syclone was the beginning in '91 for this segment.
I am not a ford fan, and I am extremely suspicious of the F150 in particular BUT props to Ford for their willingness, at the corporate level, to make every imaginable version of the F-150, and in an actual base truck. At $70k cdn its expensive, but you are getting something special, and only exactly what you want. I bet it's easier to get into and out of than a 'vette, and you can actually use it to do some practical things. This is a bonkers truck and in my book it absolutely spanks the trx at the conceptual level because it doesn't carry so much extra stuff the buyer may not want. I'd never buy one, but i am strangely happy that it exists. I wish there was a little more of this type of "buyer knows best" ethos with the japanese manufacturers, who generally get the QDR right, but don't go in for the whole "infinite versions" thing. How long will that coyote last though, with 700 hp? Cheers gents, well done Ford.
Great that you do a year long test on those batteries👍
I love stuff like this. There's a Ford dealer in GA that was doing 650-hp Lightning Tributes which were base-ish model single cabs with a Roush supercharger. It had Eibach springs and side-exit MBRP exhaust, plus big wheels that sorta looked like old Lightning wheels. I did the review on it and it was an absolute riot to drive. I would've loved to have bought one, but my other car is a Mustang and needed something with four seats.
Catch us up on the Canadian gm strike and what that means for Pop’s truck 😮 … Please
only robots at the gm canada factory, so trucks should be still coming off the line. unless they have programmed the robots to strike
AS of this morning they have settled. Biggest problem now is continued parts shortages.
Ford did a great job on the exhaust note! Can't get that on an EV at any price. I'm tempted to buy one. Just hope the dealers aren't going to be asking for premiums above MSRP.
My Dad bought his yesterday down here South of Houston TX.
Borla Exhaust, HP700 Black Edition.
It's a "Holy Crap Hold On Baby," kinda Truck!
I got mine in Crosby. I live south west just outside of Houston. What color is your dads? maybe we will see each other
Great video, I love when truck king does his solo stuff as a man can. I like the old man and stuff but truck king is where it’s at 👑💪
MSRP for these trucks are actually sub $40k in the US so you can get a supercharged build under $50k
The truck id love to buy if i could afford it. Basically a modern day ranchero
Steve excellent video. We need more trucks like this. I say get ahold of a Dodge Ram SRT With the Viper engine and go head to head. I see a future classic here in the making.
The fp700 would leave the ram srt10 at the starting line.Viper engine is too heavy and never put out the power it should have for its size.
ooooh look, an ACTUAL Lighting.
Excellent view as always!!! 😁
My uncle had a red 93 lightning ⚡️ and I had a 2000 2nd gen lightning like the one Brian o Conner had and man seeing this FP700 makes me want to buy one sadly I’m not sure were they sell them in Illinois.
Excellent video!!! Something I would have like to see is you trying to take off and seeing a tire smoking scenario, would have been quite entertaining 😊
Drove 1.5hrs yesterday to buy one of these and purchased the FP700 package. Single Cab XL 2wd. Atlas blue metallic. Has the 3.31 E-locker rear diff. I got the base black package, no extras. The bronze edition did look really nice on a blue truck but i decided on the black. All said and done just shy of $62K. What I really like (aside from the obvious) is the factory drive train warranty stays intact. The supercharger also has a 3 year/36K mile factory warranty.
Same thing I'm thinking very seriously about getting!
@@19jody72 I have put just over 4k miles on the truck so far. It has been nothing short of pure enjoyment. Its really hard not to turn around after parking it and just stare at it. This is the first "performance" oriented vehicle I have owned (Also first brand new) so excuse me if I seem a little too enamored with it. I know it had a few things added above the base XL package, but its still and XL. That being said, the thing has freakin remote start! I know thats nothing special these days, but getting that on a base model? I thought that was pretty rad.
I took it in for its first oil change at the local dealer i decided on. Was a great experience and no issues were found. The oil ford uses on these is a full synthetic 5W50. It cost $16.99/qt. The service tech told me that I could bring my own oil next time and they would only charge for the labor. I thought that was pretty cool. The only problem I have had so far is on the painted upper bumper pad. They have to remove the bumper for the supercharger install and i noticed that both retaining screws on either side were left out of the pad. the pad wasnt loose or anything. In fact i had went through numerous car washes with it. I asked the service tech if he could put those screws back in (this was not the same dealer I bought the truck from). They took care of it no problem and didnt even try to charge me for the bolts or anything. Again I know thats not a big deal, but I felt it was good customer service. There was no him/hawin around or "let me ask the service manager if thats ok", He just took care of it.
@@BeauTheC.H.U.D. I can appreciate the enthusiasm about the truck from you. That's the real world feedback I'm looking for. I have never bought myself a brand new vehicle, I made sure the wife had all the new stuff while I just bought what I could find and fix and use for work. I disnt mind working on stuff, it kept me out of the house..🤣
But it's now my time to reward myself for coming home, sleep, get up at 5am and work sometimes 12 hours a day 7 days a week. I got approved to get me a new truck and ut definitely will be the 700 hp version. I'm actually going with the roush super charger though.. its 705/635 versus the 700/595 Whipple.
Not that it really matters when you get to that level for a daily driver. 😆
Congrats on the truck brother and hope you get miles of smiles out of the truck!!👊🏻
@@19jody72 That Roush kit is gonna be awesome. I cant decide right now whether i like how quit the whipple is or not. It is so great to hear that supercharger whine, and you can hear the whipple in certain instances. But there is also something so great about the surprise on people face when a pickup gets up and goes with no prior warning. My best advice would be to really research where your are going to purchase and have the kit installed. Ive seen a few stories of dealers that werent very familiar or didnt do many of these and dropping the ball on customer service. Luckily i had a place not too far from me (about an hour) that did many of these trucks. They had 2 shelby f150s, a dark horse mustang and Raptor Rs in the showroom. I felt very comfortable with them and they were very knowledgeable. They answered every question i had.
@@BeauTheC.H.U.D. Thanks for te info.. I have 2 dealerships I have in mind.. one down in Alabama(TC customs)) I think is the name and the other is in Ohio. My local Dealership has a bunch of quacks working there..lol
I've seen this truck in so many videos and I keep clicking
Perfect video!
Sounds good.
All that and a regular cab, thank you Ford.
Literally one minute into the video he says you can have it with every cab configuration except the 8ft bed.
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 But you can add the wipple outside this package to the 8 foot bed, RCLB.
@@Chris-ut6eq yes that's true if you want the 8ft bed just get the supercharger from a reputable aftermarket company.
Awesome bro
Muscle cars or street trucks?. definitely the latter coz am a truck guy through & through!,& am Loving this FP700 bronze edition!. thanks Ford🎉🎉
The truck looks really nice, but it will look even better with the STX grill.
Nice truck
I want the Cadillac Kit for the grill.
I would want the package with the base xl look
I love this truck!
You can get the 775hp 685ft/lbs package from whipple and my Ford Dealer installed mine and kept the full Ford Warranty....so why go with the smaller numbers?....and traction is not an issue, just put it in sport mode, turn 4h on and hold the traction control for about 8 seconds and turn it all the way off. Zero slip, and the dig is ridiculous
This has suspensions and ford performance badging. Will hold value better.
Im liking that truck!
Can this be had in a stick? or automatic ony?
What dealership had this vehicle to test. Do they have more for sale. I’m in the Windsor area thanks
Where I can get Ford Performance package from? Sir
I called my dealer today and they had no idea this existed.Ybe because dealer needs to be a performance shop.
I also heard this is an add on. Cannot order it this way and dealers are not allowed to be build and then mark them up to $90k
I miss Canadian Tire stores
So .., towing capability on this unit but 4x4?
I mean I would prefer a Raptor R but at 200k price tag for something I would never off-road, this looks like a steal! Since I’m not about to drop 70k-200k let’s just continue my internet dreaming as an old 5.4 triton owner haha
Retrofit? I got 22 f150
Any 5.0 can get the fp700 upgrade, just bought a stx
That launch was really good actually. Also just using launch control and stomping the pedal is lame, having it require skill makes for something you can learn and improve on.
You better hope you don't pop a motor cause you'll be waiting a really long time to get a replacement. Mine has been at the dealer since May 5th waiting on a replacement due to oil pump failure. They'll on backorder nobody seems to have a clue when it'll come in. Built ford tough 😂
Can you make it 1000hp if I wanted to?
Better breaks?
My only reservation is that these kits seem to often be so conservatively tuned that they don’t make the rated output. If someone were to get one of these, I think a proper dyno tune is necessary and probably could pick up 100hp+ over the canned tube to bring it to that actual 700bhp rating.
I contacted Whipple about this as they sell various stages of Whipple for there F150. He said the FP700 is about equivalent to the Whipple stage 1. At first glance, the stage 1 is even cheaper--and puts puts out more HP. Except you then need to add insurance for $650 to the stage 1 so it lines up with the FP700 and iy\t's factory warranty. Now it is not cheaper. Then the Whipple rep literally provided several retailer sites that can sell the FP700 for $8700 vs $9500 list price. Further--he said the FP700 actually has a bit better low/mid range power than stage 1 WHIPPLE due to tuning differences. Last point is the FP700 is still speed limited to 105 mph and the Whipple factory stuff is not.
@@tomtraynor5384 Maybe they messed up on mine but i can tell you that it is not limited to 105mph. I believe they said its 120mph when i picked it up from the dealer. I can confirm its not 105 on mine, however i can not confirm its actually 120 as i have yet to have the cajones to test it. Getting up over 100 in this thing starts to induce the pucker factor. Especially with factory brakes. I plan on getting some slotted/cross drilled rotors and better pads pretty quick as a kind of stop gap while I decide on a brake kit upgrade. ive got a MAXTRAC 2/4 drop and an exhaust done on it so far. For me though, its not about the top speed of the truck, Its how quick it gets up to 100+mph. When your spedo needle moves more like the Tach it puts a smile on your face.
That would be great as I want FP700 factory in case things go sideways. Does your exhaust DRONE? I sure don’t want to hear that on the highway. I’ll check out the Suspension you did. Never going off road, but want a good ride. Thx is!
@@BeauTheC.H.U.D. speedometers are notoriously inaccurate at higher speeds. My old Focus, when stock, had the limiter at 108 but I routinely saw 110-115 indicated. GPS said it was in fact 108 after I tried to confirm. I never tested my F-150 out but it is tuned (regular NA 5.0 2nd Gen), and I’ve hit some kind of ceiling at 120 which may be a limiter from Livernois where I got my tune (haven’t GPS verified anything though). Not sure though but even just a standard 5.0 on 93 octane it scooted there very quickly. I’d love to see what a Whipple’d version would do.
I’ve also wanted to do a more aggressive drop, but I’ve settled on 2wd Bilsteins and a 1.5” drop shackle in the rear (with block removed).
@@tomtraynor5384 Yes there is pronounced drone with my exhaust. The muffler I used is nicknamed the "Neighbor Hater" so it was not completely unexpected that there was going to be exhaust drone. Which i am totally ok with as this is not a daily driver for me and i enjoy a fairly aggressive exhaust note. And its not like it drowns out the sound of the supercharger because there isnt much sound from the supercharger in the first place. I did leave the stock resonator on though so its not just absurdly loud. Like some of the mustangs around her are just... yea. I know its personal preference and all, but it just comes to a point that i wonder sometimes how a person could drive something that loud and not have a headache after 5 minutes. There was a time though in my youth when my only real concern with exhaust was how do i make it as loud as possible. I think the loudest truck i ever heard when i was young was one of my friends truck. While it did have 8 spark plugs, what it did not have is 8 cylinders. it was one of the old rangers ('93 IIRC) that had the 4 cylinder engine with 2 spark plugs per cylinder. I believe the point of it was supposed to be more fuel efficient or something. all i know is when you cut the mufflers and cats off it was LOUD. not good loud. Just really really loud.
My eco boost crew with 34” tires gets the same mileage 🙈
Yeah the impact of gearing plus the near 100lbs of rotating and unsprung mass can have a significant impact to fuel economy.
@@ALMX5DP totally. My roush tuned ecoboost with 35s frequented 16 lol
@@vancitycoaster nice looking truck btw. I like the bronze methods on it, I have some bronze Venomrex on my red F-150. They contrast nicely.
@@ALMX5DP I’ve had 2 sets now and originally years back I thought I was being different, and now everything comes from the factory this way. Even this truck we’re talking about lol. Can’t do anything right😝🤙🏼
14L/100. That's as good as 5.7L tundra
Would it be stupid to purchase for daily in MN with it's lovely winters? (4x4 of course)
Not stupid. I would own this here in Ontario no problem. Good set of winter tires and you're fine. Maybe throw a sandbag or 2 in the bed. This is the ultimate sleeper truck.
@@TruckKing That's my kind of thinking.
🤯
Its not a lightning guys.. its an XL F150 work truck!! Lets jeep it that way.We dont need Ford getting any bright idea's and sayi g gee, we could have screwed our customers over by adding a badge!!!Remember, the lightnings you pay an extra $50,000 for the badge's and a few extra junk items. that does no good.
This truck right here, its the poor mans hotrod!👊🏻
My 2011 titan is thirstier
I don't think anyone is worried about using that truck other than straight line on the streets...
This is the absolute opposite of a package for posers. Any off-road package is the posers go to. You'll get laughed at in a lowered regular cab truck in today's world where you need a crew cab lifted with all terrain tires and luxury features to have a "cool" truck.
The marketing propaganda by the car companies works magnificently. Luxury trucks used to be just regular trucks with luxury interiors. Now a Raptor is the real luxury truck, more expensive hardware, more profit, and everybody is willing to pay up....
What can I say…
FORD
First On Race Day😎
strap down some weight in the bed, say 200-250kg, and it will let the suspension work on that rough pavement you mention.
LOL 😂, 70 thousand dollars.
Gonna need bigger brakes.
Does it have column shifter Steve??
I kind of want to see a milder version of this same sport truck idea on the new Land Cruiser 250 or GX550s. A little lower with bigger turbos would be pretty rad.
I'm so glad Furd is focused on specialty trucks. They cant get normal trucks to the public at reasonable prices.
"They cant get normal trucks to the public at reasonable prices." -- Name one company that does.
They got the Maverick to the compact pick up truck buyers market. Name me one manufacturer who does better.....
Make it red and throw some Fox shocks, baaam, my dream truck ❤❤❤❤❤
Any data on how the package affects the payload and towing? You know....truck features?
I think the cost does NOT include labor for the installation so that's +1000s more to the real cost. Also, the reviewed truck has these other additions that were not costed out, so the estimate is 10-15k usd low?
Additionally, the RCSB is a 20ish to 1 turning ratio which is different(WB 122/141) than crew versions (WB145+) which is about 17-1.
Where's Dad I think he would like it
We had to promise Ford we wouldn’t smoke the tires - so, I passed.
@@TruckKing🤣🤣🤣
Who in the states has the best deal on this truck looking to buy now
Can it tow ?
No
😆
@@wint_62don’t you mean yes? I think it retains the stock tow rating which for a regular cab standard bed is probably around 8-9k lbs.
A lot better than a Raptor which is the ultimate poser truck.
Brakes - very important on a truck with 700 HP. Typical Ford, cheap out on the most important things.
Nobody needs it!
"Is it just a package for posers" - The whole purpose of this truck is to make noise and annoy people with an IQ above a baboon. It is essentially a bigger and more expensive Civic with a fartcan.
after 120 years you would think ford could figure out how to make a good vehicle. dont buy a new one, wait 12 years and you can buy this for $2500 because ford resale values are horrible
