Roush Performance F-150s

For those that are looking to set themselves apart from the rest of the crowd:

http://www.roushperf.com/

They've got various F-150s in various stages.

Can we get this in Canada?

Looks HOT, performs NOT.

I'm going to have to have a chat with my cousin (works for them). What blows about the packages is they are for the most part cosmetic (you get exhaust.. whoop-ta-dee-doo!). It will make your truck look cool, but pretty worthless performance-wise. I can't believe Jack is just slapping on body kits. I need to have a chat with that guy.

EDIT: You can purchase these vehicles via authorized Rouch dealers.. if you have 'em in Canada, you can get it. Otherwise, your sending it to MoTown for the makeover! I'll take real good care of it for 'ya!

I did like the look of that Tejon F-150, and I usually don't like anything over 18'' in terms of wheels but those looked pretty good. I agree with dzervit though, too much show, not enough go in those packages.

I thought the stage II & III Roush's had extra-zip in the previous generation!? Oh well- live & learn.

What I do know is if you go to Steeda, you can tweak your F-150 into the upper 300's lower 400's with their mods...

Still no match for a Lightning though.

I'd go Steeda too if I lived in Florida. But with Roush right around the corner, I'll see what kinda HP they can get out of my toy.

Meadowvale Ford in Mississuaga is a Roush Dealer, they had Heritage Roush models, when I was looking at 04 Screws, but hadnt seen any of the new style. www.meadowvaleford.com

I wonder if Saleen does anything with F150's. I like the looks of most of their Mustangs. Most of the Roush Mustangs and F150's are way too Rice Intensive for my tastes..

Thanks, I don't see too many Canadians on this board. I'm about a 45 min drive from there. I just noticed that the sole Canadian dealer is buried under all the American States... under "Ontario".

I don't actually have an F-150 yet, but I wouldn't mind these packages when I do get it in a few months.

So from what I gather: it's basically making your truck look pretty, some exhaust upgrades, but that's it. Like the others who have already commented, I thought Stage 1 or 2 would entail superchargers or something, not merely cosmetic upgrades.
