NASCAR-inspired ROUSH 500RC F-150 released

445 HP & 500 ft-lbs. of torque


The ROUSH 500RC Ford F-150

The ROUSH 500RC Ford F-150 is a high-performance road runner. Complete with the ROUSHchargerTM, the 500RC puts a ground-pounding 445 horsepower/500 lb.-ft of torque to the street. Additional ROUSH treatments include a dual rear exit high-performance exhaust system, 20-inch chrome wheels and tires, and a billet aluminum grille. Completing the styling and proving the heritage of the truck is the unique ROUSH 500RC fender and tailgate badging, the side stripe kit, and the serial badge in the engine compartment. Born from Roush Racing’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck program, the ROUSH 500RC is a perfect example of what comes between a race truck and a regular truck – a ROUSH truck.

Sweet,I like Roush trucks.

But I don't get why they say born from Roush Racings NASCAR Truck program.I've never seen a screw or a supercharged truck in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. But it is still a sweet truck and I wish I could afford one.

Jack Roush has Nascar Nextel Cup and Craftsman series race programs. All they are saying is that some of the same technology was used. Otherwise that thing would be 1/2 inch of the ground and be made of tin

You'd also have to change the tires 5-6 times within 500 miles, make a few track bar adjustments and maybe a spring rubber too.

The stripes on that truck look much wider than the ones on the truck in the OP...are you sure it was the same?

Two things I like about this Rousch model.

#1 its several thousand cheaper than the Stage 3 for the same performance
#2 all the striping, hood stuff, spoilers are optional.

So, if you really wanted to go stealth, you could roll a stock look with 445/500.
