Roush Performance: Off-Road Rallying In Our Supercharged 705hp F-150
Full Video Transcript
What's up, guys? Steve Roush, down here at Sony Florida. We are at the Florida International Rally Motorsport Park, and we're about to kick off our first-ever off-road event.
It's kind of on-road, off-road. We're talking about trying to figure out how to bridge the gap between Mustang owners and truck owners. So what better way to get on the rally, get on the on-road track, and hit the off-road track?
All I know is we're about to have some fun, and we're going to do our best to keep all four tires on the ground. Maybe not.
Ride Along at the Firm
All right, guys. Getting ready to go for a quick ride along around the firm, and it's about to be a blast.
A little technical section back into the dirt, hard on the brakes. This is pretty wild back here, pretty wetted, with these guys absolutely ripping through it.
Little visor down. Get that suspension going. General tires are absolutely heating through this section. It just rips through the competition.
Technical around here. You can feel that suspension absolutely going to work for us. Yeah, we're bouncing around a little bit, but guess what? The truck is still highly under control.
Tight Corners and Full Speed
Here we go. All right, on the brakes. Hit some cement, grab some grip, back on the gas. Oh, yeah, they were not kidding. This is running pretty good.
Hard on the brakes. It gets tight. Little tree clipping—we don't charge for that. Hard on the gas. Back out. Ah, a little confusing through here. We'll just hammer down, back into the gas.
This is probably one of the best straits here. Hard on the gas. Just let her eat—little four-way slide there. Oh, just a measly 90 miles an hour.
Back through it. Hard on the brakes. Get this thing in a full slide, and then what we'll do is hard on the gas. Hard on the gas. Let her eat. Come back around. Oh, there she is. Beautiful.
Power and Control
This is a truck that you can literally drive from your local dealership, and we're just absolutely ripping right now. We're not going to send it too hard over the jumps, guys. But that's a quick ride with us. We'll be having fun.
Conclusion
All right. That was absolutely wild. Let me just tell you, this truck and that track go together like peas and carrots. Yeah, it has technicals, it has high-speed straights.
So we’re able to see what that suspension does. We're able to see what the supercharger does. General tire helps us put power where power is needed and keeps us on those tight technical sections back in the woods.
Oh, yeah. But also, 705 horsepower down on the straights. Four-wheel slides. Let's go have some more fun.
