Roush F-150 Supercharger Adds Over 300 HP and a Warranty
It's now available for 2024 F-150s with a 5.0-liter V-8 engine.
Roush has a long history with Ford, and the partnership continues with the 2024 F-150. The company's 5.0-liter supercharger kit is now available for the updated pickup, turning the ordinary half-ton truck into a Raptor R fighter. On pavement, anyway.
The crux of the kit is a big R2650 roots-style supercharger, wielding four-lobe rotors and displacing 2.65 liters. Roush says it has larger bearings and thicker timing gears for better durability, and it works with a custom intercooler to help keep temperatures down. The kit also includes a new coolant reservoir and radiator, designed to optimize cooling during high-load situations like towing. The kit swaps in new spark plugs, adds a crankshaft damper, and a new engine calibration makes it all work in harmony. You'll need to run premium fuel, though.

The result is 705 horsepower at the crankshaft, according to Roush. That's a 305-hp improvement over a stock 5.0-liter V-8, and if the kit is installed by a Ford dealer or an authorized technician, Roush will cover the enhanced powertrain with a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty. There is a price for such power, however. The 2024 F-150 supercharger kit costs $8,649.99, not including installation.
That said, there's serious potential to build a bonkers performance truck for a reasonable price. A new F-150 STX 4x4 with a 5.0-liter V-8 costs $52,235. Toss in the supercharger kit and add a bit more for installation, and you could have a 705-hp F-150 off-roader for a touch over $60,000. The least expensive F-150 Raptor R with comparable power is nearly double the price—$112,460 to be exact. Of course, you give up the Raptor's suspension. But if high-flying fun isn't a priority, a lower-trim truck with a supercharger kit could be your ticket to ride.
