Hitting the streets in early 2008 is the 2008 Ford F-150 Foose Edition styled by custom street rod designer Chip Foose. It will be on display at the 2007 New York auto show. Lowered and sitting on 22-inch wheels, the special Foose F-150 sports bold racing stripes that start at the edge of the hood and then thin out over the front fenders to run the length of the vehicle. only to widen again at the tailgate.
Planned for a limited run of production units, Foose gave the F-150 a new grille with horizontal bars as well as rocker moldings to further help lower the vehicle visually while the cab is accented by Chip Foose signature headrests and floor mats, a unique leather-wrapped center console and a Foose-designed serialization plate showing the VIN and build-sequence numbers.
Powering the Foose Edition F-150 is a 450-horsepower supercharged Triton V8 that puts out 500 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm, making it the most powerful Ford F-150 since the 2004 Ford SVT Lightning. When it hits the streets, it will be the most powerful half-ton pickup on the market.

Foose does nothing but tired designs these days. This thing is Foosed-up, and ugly.

Foose has got a great eye for style. Everything he touches looks great. This is no exception.

What’s this, a well designed, well executed Ford product? April fools day was yesterday….
In all seriousness though, this thing looks great, and is sounds like is has some good upgrades. Kudos to Ford for this one.

Put that engine into the Lincoln LS or Town Car to have a buzz creating niche market car.
Oops….I forgot they killed the LS, Thunderbird, and Town Car along with their least powerful V-8’s FoMoCo had.

What the hell is this ****? Nice engine, but why couldn’t they just offer it as an engine package, instead of ricing it up? That thing looks awful.
You’d think that with the amount of times Ford is shooting themselves in the foot, the magazine would be empty by now.

Many people like to have personalized, custom, unique looking cars. You nerds can stick to your beige Camry’s and silver lexis.

If it’s from a factory, it’s not personalized and custom.

Nothing that I can’t see on the street being driven by a 16 year old. He should have tried a little harder.

Foose needs to relax and go back to building custom hot rods.

Whatever happen to the 2006 SVT Lightning concept truck? The Foose truck is nice but looks like a copy of the Harley designs.
