Another F-150

These are awesome.  Salty at around $106,000.  They are actually converted down the street from my office in Elkhart, IN so I see quite a few of them.  The company that does the conversion is called Tuscany.  The company that converts these does some other truck conversions as well.  You can get a comparable Roush truck with a supercharger for quite a bit less.  Both are cool looking trucks.

Seriously???

If driven anywhere near top speed - or even accelerated anywhere near potential, these trucks have to be incredibly unstable and dangerous.

How do you say COMPENSATING

ANY car or truck that has that much HP and TQ driven anywhere near top speed or even accelerated anywhere near potential is incredibly unstable and dangerous!....Just look at a few videos on youtube!

Are you sure Tuscany builds the Shelby F-150?  If so, that's news to me.  Shelby has a production facility at their headquarters in Las Vegas.  Even the new Shelby F-150 Super Snake (announced this week) is described by the press as "built at Shelby American in Las Vegas."

That may be the case for the Mustang, and maybe they have a couple of different facilities they are converting the truck out of also.  They have an entire yard of trucks waiting to be converted.  Here is their website.  They do a few different trucks out of the facility down from my office and the Shelby F-150 is one of them.

Very familiar with Tuscany... I've seen their junk stuff on the lot at my local Ford store.  I was never much of a fan of the Shelby F-150... if it's true that it's really just another JC Whitney Tuscany truck, my opinion just fell through the floor.

Good to know.  I don't know anything about Tuscany other than the vehicles I see in their lot when I drive by.  I am familiar with JC Whitney though.  I really have not seen very many new aftermarket off road outfitted trucks  I have liked.  I am not in the market for a Shelby truck, but I was looking a few weeks ago and the only trucks that peeked my interest were the Roush f-150 and the Raptor.  Most of the aftermarket trucks have too much lift for my liking.  The Roush truck only has a 2" lift vs the 6" I see on a lot of the other trucks.  If I were to get anything new with the Shelby badge, it would be a mustang, or a t-shirt.

I'm happy with my F150 Platinum. I added a Roush Stage 3 performance kit and a 3" level. Roush exhaust, Roush intake, and a Roush performance tune is what is included in the stage 3. It will beat a raptor and still allow me to pull my Bu.

So let me get this right, F150 is the TMC best tow vehicle ever. Add a supercharger and its going to automatically wreck into a bus full of nuns. lolz

 

Id say it would put down around 600 hp, while impressive it isn't that crazy, considering the amount of weight it has to get moving.
