American Veteran-Turned-Animal Savior Rocks a Roush F-150 SC in this EPIC Video!
Ford F-150 modified by Roush is the preferred pickup of a Navy Seal-turned-animal rescuer.
Most of the promotional videos for the Roush F-150 SC show the supercharged pickup flexing its muscles on the track or the dyno. This video from the Roush Performance YouTube channel showcases the truck in a very different way, with help from former Seal Team Six member Chris Caracci. Caracci has retired from his role as a United States Navy Seal. He now works as a tactical combat trainer. He also works in the field of wild animal rescue.
Caracci’s animal rescue missions often include harsh territory and to help injured animals, he needs to get through that rough ground in a hurry. To do so, he relies on a Roush F-150 SC and in the video below, we get to watch the retired soldier in action.
Roush F-150 SC
The Roush F-150 SC begins its life as a typical half-ton Ford pickup, featuring the 5.0-liter V8. The heart of the Roush Performance package is a Roush TVS R2650 supercharger, which lifts the output to 650 horsepower and 610 lb-ft of torque. The supercharged V8 also gets a cat-back performance exhaust system, helping it to breathe easier and announce its presence. Those who want even more exhaust sound can upgrade to the Roush Active Exhaust package, which allows the driver to select four different volume settings with an app on their smartphone. Best of all, this engine build comes with a 3-year-, 36,000-mile warranty.
Next, the package adds a Roush/Fox 2.0 off-road suspension system to the supercharged F-150. The added ride height makes room for the General Tire Grabber ATX 305-55-20 tires on package-specific Roush wheels.
To emphasize the modified nature of the Roush F-150 SC package, the exterior showcases an array of standard upgrades. This includes the Roush grille, a unique front bumper cover, fender flares, Roush badging and an elaborate graphics package. On the inside, this high performance F-150 sports a serialized dash plaque, a Roush-branded gauge cluster and unique WeatherTech floor mats.
The standard Roush F-150 SC package has a price tag of $24,000. That does not include the price of the donor pickup itself.
Caracci in Action
In the video below, we watch as Caracci does a bunch of stuff that a hardcore badass does on a daily basis. He goes rock-climbing. He picks up a VIP from the airport for protected escort. He lifts weights and logs, while his badass dog watches. He goes jogging through the desert and he practices his hand-to-hand combat skills. He cleans a rifle, he plays with dogs and, of course, he drives his Roush F-150 SC.
About halfway through the video, Caracci gets a notification on his smartwatch that a wild animal needs to be rescued. He checks the air pressure on the Grabber ATX tires and loads a serious animal cage into the bed. After a quick stop to locate some enemy hostiles, Caracci gets back to the business of helping an injured animal.
Using state-of-the-art surveillance equipment and his supercharged Ford F-150, he finds an injured wolf in the desert. In true badass form, he strolls right up to it and lifts it up against his chest. The wild animal is calmly carried away, loaded into the cage and taken to Caracci’s compound. While there, it is able to safely recover from its injuries.
While this isn’t the typical truck commercial, it showcases the Roush F-150 SC in a truly memorable manner with help from an American veteran-turned-animal savior.
