Whether you’re on
your way to the lumberyard or doing the weekly grocery shopping, Roush’s
Nitemare package for the 2019 F-150 will turn it into the quickest production
truck ever, according to the tuner. Aimed at trucks powered by the 5.0-liter
Ti-VCT V8, the company’s TVS R2650 supercharger system has lifted the output by
255 HP and 285 Nm of torque, to 650 HP and 827 Nm. The extra muscle helps it rocket to 96
km/h in 3.9 seconds in the Regular Cab and 4.1 seconds in the SuperCrew body
style.

will, courtesy of the new race-inspired exhaust system, with side-exit exhaust
tips. The feature lets drivers choose between four different settings (Touring,
Wide-Open, Sport and Custom) by operating a console-mounted dial. Furthermore,
users can also access those modes via the Roush Active Exhaust mobile app, or
create their custom profile for a more personalized experience.
Other core components
of the F-150 Nitemare are the custom grille with accent lighting, front bumper
cover and a few exterior graphics that highlight its sportier stance. Roush
went for a lowering kit and a set of 22-inch wheels, shod in Continental
Crosscontact LX20 285/45 tires for improved traction.
Options include the
aforementioned exhaust system, a tonneau cover, off-road utility kit, red and
black leather seats and a console vault. Pricing for the base package starts at
$19,150 and is offered with a 57,936 km warranty. You can
also build your F-150 Nitemare from scratch, using Roush’s online configurator.
