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

Yeah that makes way more sense than the truck that actually runs on lightning lol

@@AK_Ray Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of a flame.

QUIET!!! Ford will see that and tack another $75,000 on it!!!

@@19jody72if they add a 6 spd

This one cost more and is smaller & surprisingly slower 0-60 than my real 23 ford lightning. Love the haters. The lightning is such a sleeper it doesn't even make a sound when it goes FASTER! 😂

Just wait till they get Andre from TFL to this channel.

@@induction7895that would be amazing, Andre is a gem

😂

Same thing I'm thinking very seriously about getting!

@@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.

@@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!!👊🏻

@@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.

​@@BeauTheC.H.U.D. Thanks for te info.. I have 2 dealerships I have in mind.. one down in Alabama(TC customs)) I think is the name and the other is in Ohio. My local Dealership has a bunch of quacks working there..lol

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.

only robots at the gm canada factory, so trucks should be still coming off the line. unless they have programmed the robots to strike

AS of this morning they have settled. Biggest problem now is continued parts shortages.

Literally one minute into the video he says you can have it with every cab configuration except the 8ft bed.

@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 But you can add the wipple outside this package to the 8 foot bed, RCLB.

@@Chris-ut6eq yes that's true if you want the 8ft bed just get the supercharger from a reputable aftermarket company.

I got mine in Crosby. I live south west just outside of Houston. What color is your dads? maybe we will see each other

This has suspensions and ford performance badging. Will hold value better.

Yeah the impact of gearing plus the near 100lbs of rotating and unsprung mass can have a significant impact to fuel economy.

@@ALMX5DP totally. My roush tuned ecoboost with 35s frequented 16 lol

@@vancitycoaster nice looking truck btw. I like the bronze methods on it, I have some bronze Venomrex on my red F-150. They contrast nicely.

@@ALMX5DP I’ve had 2 sets now and originally years back I thought I was being different, and now everything comes from the factory this way. Even this truck we’re talking about lol. Can’t do anything right😝🤙🏼

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.

@@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.

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!

@@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).

@@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.

"They cant get normal trucks to the public at reasonable prices." -- Name one company that does.

They got the Maverick to the compact pick up truck buyers market. Name me one manufacturer who does better.....

We had to promise Ford we wouldn’t smoke the tires - so, I passed.

@@TruckKing🤣🤣🤣

No

😆

@@wint_62don’t you mean yes? I think it retains the stock tow rating which for a regular cab standard bed is probably around 8-9k lbs.

A lot better than a Raptor which is the ultimate poser truck.
