Roush Adding 500RC To Ford F-150 Arsenal

Looking for a tow vehicle for your new Ford GT or Shelby Mustang GT500? Roush might just have your number: 500RC. The Ford specialists have just introduced this latest high-power take on the venerable F-150. As seen here, the 500RC generates 445 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, thanks the company’s own ROUSHcharger.

In addition to a surplus of ponies, the company has given the F-Series an exterior once-over, including 20-inch chrome six-spoke wheels, high-performance twin-exit exhaust, and 500RC fender and tailgate badges. And for that added bit of visual kinship with other high-performance Fords, top and side striping is also part of the deal.

Optional extras include a hood scoop (shown), front chin spoiler, and rear wing on the outside; and sport leather seating, billet pedals, and new gauges on the inside.

For those looking to keep a tighter reign on the RC500’s stray ponies, a reworked ‘sport’ suspension system will also be offered.
