  • ROUSH reveals its new tuning project. It involves an F-150 this time

    2021 ROUSH F-150ROUSH Performance has announced its 2021 F150 is now available for preorder. This tuning project is the result of the brand’s racing experience and vast knowledge of sporty vehicles. In fact, the ROUSH team has gathered experience from all kinds of race events – from Pikes Peak to the silt of Baja, these guys have seen it all.

    Exterior and interior styling

    The machine itself is based on the all-new Ford F-150 and comes with ROUSH exclusive components, high-performance suspension, new wheels and tires and a cat-back exhaust system and some neat cabin upgrades. Let’s have a look!

    Some of the exterior changes and upgrades include a set of ROUSH wide-body fender flares with integrated accent lights and heated extracting vents. There are also a high-flow ROUSH grille and bumper cover that brings some more style. There are also custom paddle lamps that illuminate the ROUSH logo on the ground when a door is opened.

Some of the optional features include the brand’s premium leather seating and the so-called Ready Package, which includes a steel centre console vault with a 4-digit combo lock and an off-road kit with a host of trail recovery tools.

    2021 ROUSH F-150 is also geared with a custom-valved set of ROUSH/Fox 2.0 shocks which are a perfect fit to the F-150 and come with internal floating pistons. This setup provides a smooth and pleasurable ride on any road condition. The front coilover shocks are outfitted with fine-tuned performance springs and lift the front-end by two inches, which provides even more flexibility on the road. The 20-inch grey ROUSH wheels are covered by Grabber A/TX tires and are the perfect compliment for the suspension upgrades. Also, they greatly enhance the visual impact of the vehicle.

  • Roush F-150 Nitemare

    Roush F-150 NitemareWith the introduction of the 2007 ROUSH Nitemare F-150 there are destined to be plenty of other pickup drivers having nightmares about this limited-to-100 edition hauler after watching it blow by them on roads across America.

    The 2007 ROUSH Nitemare is a menacing tone-on-tone, 445-horsepower beast. Based on the standard cab version of the F-150, the power-to-weight ratio will ensure that this monster has plenty of haul.

    Under the hood is the famous ROUSHchargerTM which boosts the 5.4L, 3 valve engine to 445-horsepower and 500 lb-ft. of torque. Additional “go fast” components include intake manifolds, intercooler, radiator, and air induction system. This unit, like all the ROUSH components from a company so highly recognized for producing power, quality and performance, is covered by ROUSH’s industry exclusive 3 year/36,000 mile warranty.

    The ROUSH Nitemare will be offered exclusively in black for the 2007 model which is limited to just 100 units, each striped with a matte black design to further accent the ominous look. A ROUSH front chin spoiler and black aluminum billet grille complete the exterior styling, but the addition of the ROUSH dual rear exit exhaust system gives this truck the growl expected from such a beast.

    To further the performance of the ROUSH Nitemare, the Livonia, Mich.-based technicians install a Ford limited slip 3.73 rear axle and have increased the electronically-controlled speed limiter to 105 mph.

    Sliding into the cockpit, the ROUSH Nitemare logo is embroidered into the ROUSH custom leather seats, and is on the black ROUSH instrument cluster, where it will appropriately be lit up in red in the dark. ROUSH Nitemare embroidered floor mats, a black dash trim kit, and ROUSH billet aluminum pedals help to complete the styling.

    Only a handful of options are available on the limited edition ROUSH Nitemare, including a rear wing, hood scoop, locking lug nuts and GPS system. The ROUSH sport suspension system which lowers the truck two inches in the front and three in the rear is sure to be a popular addition to this performance vehicle. This complete kit includes ROUSH-engineered front coil springs, rear leaf springs, front sway bar and specially-valved shocks.

    Available exclusively in a regular cab 4×2 Styleside model, the 2007 ROUSH Nitemare has a suggested retail of $41,750 and is expected to be available at ROUSH-authorized Ford dealers starting in June. Each will carry a blacked-out ROUSH Nitemare fender and tailgate badges, and a unique serial number badge stating which number of the 100 that truck is.
