Ford's New 700 Horsepower F-150

Ford is bringing a fresh take on factory-backed customization to SEMA 2024 with the launch of the Ford Custom Garage program.


This program packages dealer-installed performance and aesthetic upgrades, offering customers a factory-backed approach to hot rodding. For F-150 enthusiasts, the headliner is the FP700S, which transforms a 2024 2WD F-150 XL into a street-oriented muscle truck, pushing 700 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque from its supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine.

The FP700S is the true successor to the original Ford Lightning—too bad Ford decided to use the name on an electric pickup truck that nobody seems to want. This package, designed to offer a “street truck” feel, includes a cat-back exhaust system, a fender vent kit, and lowering springs.


Ford’s Custom Garage program also includes several appearance-focused packages for the Bronco, giving buyers a factory-backed, warranty-friendly way to bring their trucks and SUVs closer to their personal style.

“Our customers want to make their vehicles all their own through upgrades that reflect their personal style and the latest trends,” said Kim Mathers, director of Ford Vehicle Personalization and Performance Parts. “Our team is constantly listening to customers and hunting for new trends we can offer as limited-edition Ford Custom Garage packages through our dealers – with every part designed and tested to our factory standards for peace of mind and easy installation.”


Ford is aiming to capture some of the millions spent every year on vehicle upgrades, with the company saying its pre-packaged upgrades are factory-tested for reliability and easy installation.


With plans to expand the Custom Garage’s lineup, Ford is expected to make pricing and more details available soon. The Custom Garage packages and the company's array of performance and customization projects will be on display at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas from November 5-8, 2024.

    Auto truths...

    People drive on the correct side of the road and look both ways before crossing the street because "Life is Most Important in Life is The Most Important Truth in Life".

    Needless and preventable suffering and death can only occur after the Truth that Life is Most Important has been dismissed and stifled. Any person who has been shared that Truth who is claiming to represent life's truthful interests and who can who is choosing to not share it without a legitimate justification not to, is always a person who is choosing to betray all life on earth and all life and truth.

    The Truth that is the cure and prevention of all needless and preventable suffering and death has been placed freely in your hand. You will never receive a more important communication while you live.
