Ford F-150 FP700 Brings V8 Power & Sexy Style - But Can it Actually Go Around Corners?

It may not have the name anymore, but in my mind this is the real "Ford Lightning"

You can get launch control for $5k ...its called pushbutton 4x4 option. All the fast boosted street F150s have it. Only way to go if your gonna go crazy w these. The '24 XLs will come w LED exterior lighting, all digital dash amd the big screen and power doors for same price. The 4WD GMC Syclone was the beginning in '91 for this segment.

[@douglastong3208]

Ford did a great job on the exhaust note! Can't get that on an EV at any price. I'm tempted to buy one. Just hope the dealers aren't going to be asking for premiums above MSRP.

[@liamrobinson2084]

I am not a ford fan, and I am extremely suspicious of the F150 in particular BUT props to Ford for their willingness, at the corporate level, to make every imaginable version of the F-150, and in an actual base truck. At $70k cdn its expensive, but you are getting something special, and only exactly what you want. I bet it's easier to get into and out of than a 'vette, and you can actually use it to do some practical things. This is a bonkers truck and in my book it absolutely spanks the trx at the conceptual level because it doesn't carry so much extra stuff the buyer may not want. I'd never buy one, but i am strangely happy that it exists. I wish there was a little more of this type of "buyer knows best" ethos with the japanese manufacturers, who generally get the QDR right, but don't go in for the whole "infinite versions" thing. How long will that coyote last though, with 700 hp? Cheers gents, well done Ford.

[@jeffr6280]

ooooh look, an ACTUAL Lighting.

[@gweggorz]

I love stuff like this. There's a Ford dealer in GA that was doing 650-hp Lightning Tributes which were base-ish model single cabs with a Roush supercharger. It had Eibach springs and side-exit MBRP exhaust, plus big wheels that sorta looked like old Lightning wheels. I did the review on it and it was an absolute riot to drive. I would've loved to have bought one, but my other car is a Mustang and needed something with four seats.

The fp700 would leave the ram srt10 at the starting line.Viper engine is too heavy and never put out the power it should have for its size.

[@johnhahn8464]

The f150 without the whipple would probably beat the srt10 dodge because the dodge is to heavy though i always liked it

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

Great that you do a year long test on those batteries👍

[@BeauTheC.H.U.D.]

Drove 1.5hrs yesterday to buy one of these and purchased the FP700 package. Single Cab XL 2wd. Atlas blue metallic. Has the 3.31 E-locker rear diff. I got the base black package, no extras. The bronze edition did look really nice on a blue truck but i decided on the black. All said and done just shy of $62K. What I really like (aside from the obvious) is the factory drive train warranty stays intact. The supercharger also has a 3 year/36K mile factory warranty.

[@19jody72]

Same thing I'm thinking very seriously about getting!

[@BeauTheC.H.U.D.]

@@19jody72 I have put just over 4k miles on the truck so far. It has been nothing short of pure enjoyment. Its really hard not to turn around after parking it and just stare at it. This is the first "performance" oriented vehicle I have owned (Also first brand new) so excuse me if I seem a little too enamored with it. I know it had a few things added above the base XL package, but its still and XL. That being said, the thing has freakin remote start! I know thats nothing special these days, but getting that on a base model? I thought that was pretty rad. I took it in for its first oil change at the local dealer i decided on. Was a great experience and no issues were found. The oil ford uses on these is a full synthetic 5W50. It cost $16.99/qt. The service tech told me that I could bring my own oil next time and they would only charge for the labor. I thought that was pretty cool. The only problem I have had so far is on the painted upper bumper pad. They have to remove the bumper for the supercharger install and i noticed that both retaining screws on either side were left out of the pad. the pad wasnt loose or anything. In fact i had went through numerous car washes with it. I asked the service tech if he could put those screws back in (this was not the same dealer I bought the truck from). They took care of it no problem and didnt even try to charge me for the bolts or anything. Again I know thats not a big deal, but I felt it was good customer service. There was no him/hawin around or "let me ask the service manager if thats ok", He just took care of it.

[@19jody72]

@@BeauTheC.H.U.D. I can appreciate the enthusiasm about the truck from you. That's the real world feedback I'm looking for. I have never bought myself a brand new vehicle, I made sure the wife had all the new stuff while I just bought what I could find and fix and use for work. I disnt mind working on stuff, it kept me out of the house..🤣 But it's now my time to reward myself for coming home, sleep, get up at 5am and work sometimes 12 hours a day 7 days a week. I got approved to get me a new truck and ut definitely will be the 700 hp version. I'm actually going with the roush super charger though.. its 705/635 versus the 700/595 Whipple. Not that it really matters when you get to that level for a daily driver. 😆 Congrats on the truck brother and hope you get miles of smiles out of the truck!!👊🏻

[@BeauTheC.H.U.D.]

@@19jody72 That Roush kit is gonna be awesome. I cant decide right now whether i like how quit the whipple is or not. It is so great to hear that supercharger whine, and you can hear the whipple in certain instances. But there is also something so great about the surprise on people face when a pickup gets up and goes with no prior warning. My best advice would be to really research where your are going to purchase and have the kit installed. Ive seen a few stories of dealers that werent very familiar or didnt do many of these and dropping the ball on customer service. Luckily i had a place not too far from me (about an hour) that did many of these trucks. They had 2 shelby f150s, a dark horse mustang and Raptor Rs in the showroom. I felt very comfortable with them and they were very knowledgeable. They answered every question i had.

You can get the 775hp 685ft/lbs package from whipple and my Ford Dealer installed mine and kept the full Ford Warranty....so why go with the smaller numbers?....and traction is not an issue, just put it in sport mode, turn 4h on and hold the traction control for about 8 seconds and turn it all the way off.

My uncle had a red 93 lightning ⚡️ and I had a 2000 2nd gen lightning like the one Brian o Conner had and man seeing this FP700 makes me want to buy one sadly I’m not sure were they sell them in Illinois.

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

That launch was really good actually. Also just using launch control and stomping the pedal is lame, having it require skill makes for something you can learn and improve on.

[@ALMX5DP]

My only reservation is that these kits seem to often be so conservatively tuned that they don’t make the rated output. If someone were to get one of these, I think a proper dyno tune is necessary and probably could pick up 100hp+ over the canned tube to bring it to that actual 700bhp rating.

[@tomtraynor5384]

I contacted Whipple about this as they sell various stages of Whipple for there F150. He said the FP700 is about equivalent to the Whipple stage 1. At first glance, the stage 1 is even cheaper--and puts puts out more HP. Except you then need to add insurance for $650 to the stage 1 so it lines up with the FP700 and iy\t's factory warranty. Now it is not cheaper. Then the Whipple rep literally provided several retailer sites that can sell the FP700 for $8700 vs $9500 list price. Further--he said the FP700 actually has a bit better low/mid range power than stage 1 WHIPPLE due to tuning differences. Last point is the FP700 is still speed limited to 105 mph and the Whipple factory stuff is not.

[@BeauTheC.H.U.D.]

@@tomtraynor5384 Maybe they messed up on mine but i can tell you that it is not limited to 105mph. I believe they said its 120mph when i picked it up from the dealer. I can confirm its not 105 on mine, however i can not confirm its actually 120 as i have yet to have the cajones to test it. Getting up over 100 in this thing starts to induce the pucker factor. Especially with factory brakes. I plan on getting some slotted/cross drilled rotors and better pads pretty quick as a kind of stop gap while I decide on a brake kit upgrade. ive got a MAXTRAC 2/4 drop and an exhaust done on it so far. For me though, its not about the top speed of the truck, Its how quick it gets up to 100+mph. When your spedo needle moves more like the Tach it puts a smile on your face.

[@tomtraynor5384]

That would be great as I want FP700 factory in case things go sideways. Does your exhaust DRONE? I sure don’t want to hear that on the highway. I’ll check out the Suspension you did. Never going off road, but want a good ride. Thx is!

[@ALMX5DP]

@@BeauTheC.H.U.D. speedometers are notoriously inaccurate at higher speeds. My old Focus, when stock, had the limiter at 108 but I routinely saw 110-115 indicated. GPS said it was in fact 108 after I tried to confirm. I never tested my F-150 out but it is tuned (regular NA 5.0 2nd Gen), and I’ve hit some kind of ceiling at 120 which may be a limiter from Livernois where I got my tune (haven’t GPS verified anything though). Not sure though but even just a standard 5.0 on 93 octane it scooted there very quickly. I’d love to see what a Whipple’d version would do. I’ve also wanted to do a more aggressive drop, but I’ve settled on 2wd Bilsteins and a 1.5” drop shackle in the rear (with block removed).

[@BeauTheC.H.U.D.]

@@tomtraynor5384 Yes there is pronounced drone with my exhaust. The muffler I used is nicknamed the "Neighbor Hater" so it was not completely unexpected that there was going to be exhaust drone. Which i am totally ok with as this is not a daily driver for me and i enjoy a fairly aggressive exhaust note. And its not like it drowns out the sound of the supercharger because there isnt much sound from the supercharger in the first place. I did leave the stock resonator on though so its not just absurdly loud. Like some of the mustangs around her are just... yea. I know its personal preference and all, but it just comes to a point that i wonder sometimes how a person could drive something that loud and not have a headache after 5 minutes. There was a time though in my youth when my only real concern with exhaust was how do i make it as loud as possible. I think the loudest truck i ever heard when i was young was one of my friends truck. While it did have 8 spark plugs, what it did not have is 8 cylinders. it was one of the old rangers ('93 IIRC) that had the 4 cylinder engine with 2 spark plugs per cylinder. I believe the point of it was supposed to be more fuel efficient or something. all i know is when you cut the mufflers and cats off it was LOUD. not good loud. Just really really loud.
