Well then we'll have to agree to disagree upon that part. While I believe the Harley headlights and taillights would look great on it (and I'm sure a great deal of owners will go for that mod), I believe the badges should either be changed to reflect the vehicle (I'm thinking F-150 on top and Supercharged on bottom would look wonderful), or shaved completely. JMO of course.

Everything out there that's new will need a tuner to make a lot of power... that's not anything new.
3.73 rear end ratio and 105 MPH top speed...that's lame. So using ckirwan514's math...it's laying down the same RWHP (445 x .8 = 356) as my Silverado. Should be a fun little truck if it's anything like that... though the drag guys may be a little unhappy...if 356 RWHP can put an extended cab Silverado through the quarter at 102, any sort of pulley change is going to have the F-150 hitting the 105 limiter before the end of the track, even as it's heavier to start with.

322.4 arw is a lot better than the 240 arw of a stock f150, what is the Roush going to cost. I'm thinking a Sierra Denali with a Whipple will be cheaper and it's ALL wheel housepower will be greater that the Roush. Just my thinking.

I think the truck it self is pretty impressive but what good is it when the limiter is 105mph. My lightnings limiter is around 145mph. I know 145mph is more than enough top speed on a open stretch but 105 for this truck is just lame.Maybe they can eliminate this with a chip or tune hopefully something. Can you imagine how many people would have bought a lightning if the limiter was 105mph. I just know there are a lot of lightning owners out there waiting for a next generation lightning one that would smoke the previous 500hp srt-10 dodge. I know with the right pulley and tune a lot of lightning owners have already done this but it would just be nice to see something new with impressive hp numbers and faster times.

03GrnEBExpy,
Where did you get the 322 number from? A 4x4 Roushcharged F150 gets 328, a 4x2 is likely to get a lot more. Roush is very conservative in their tuning. With a custom tune only you'll pick up an honest 40-50 rwhp on 4x4 Roushcharged trucks, likely more with a 4x2. Takes care of the limiter too.

Webmaster, the 322 RWHP was what ckirwan514 was guessing the stock 400HP GM products would get. I like the looks of the F150 but now that the new Sierra Denali looks similar and has 100 more HP stock it is hard to justify buying the Ford

Remember that the 450 HP Harley is only putting out about 360 horsepower to the ground. Don't get me wrong, that's good power, but saying it has 450 horsepower is only relevant when compared to the other flywheel figures, and remember that the Harley is more expensive than the Sierra Denali.
