We reported late last year that Chip Foose had hooked up with Ford to produce some special Foose-ified Blue Oval models, and the F-150 is the first vehicle to get the famous tuner's treatment. Based on the F-150 FX2 Sport, the Foose Edition will not only be the fastest F-150 every produced, faster even than the SVT Lightning, it will also be the fastest half-ton pickup in the world, according to Ford.
The truck has been lowered and sits on giant 22-inch wheels. A new grille and bumper up front are joined by rocker panels that accentuate the lowered look, while the body is adorned with custom striping. The interior is also augmented with Foose headrests and floor mats, as well as a leathe-wrapped center console with serialization plate.
The Foose Edition F-150 is powered by a supercharged version of the 5.4L Triton V8 producing 450 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 500 ft-lbs. of torque at 4,000 rpm that sends power through a four-speed automatic. That's not as much power as the Dodge Ram SRT-10, but that 500-hp truck went out of production in 2006, leaving the mantle of World's Fastest Pickup for the F-150 Foose Edition to pick up. While this is technically a concept, the production version it inspires will go on sale this fall. Incredibly, Foose and Ford developed this truck in the time after last year's SEMA Show in November when discussions between the two began. There's no word on pricing or how many will be produced, but expect the F-150 Foose Edition to be expensive and exclusive.
