It has a Whipple Supercharger and it's 4-wheel drive. It's also incredibly
FAST!
Do we have any Ford F150 experts that can share the backstory on these Ford models?
Don't know but I can there tomorrow to pick it up once your done. I've actually never seen or heard of them till now.

I know there is a dealer here in Ohio that is known for factory additions like Roush, etc. Most carry full warranty and really a bargain (not the whipple).

Re: Any Ford F150 Experts?
Ace is right, Certainly a dealer creation. Like a Mr Norms 440 Dart, or a Yenko Camaro. Or even a Nickey Chevrolet package

Might even been done by a tuner shop and not a dealership. Hard to nail it down when there are lots of players in the market.

The lowering vs lifting is probably comes down to a difference in mission. Based on what you say about the way the truck accelerates, it's probably a good thing to get the center of gravity as low to the ground as possible! It belongs on a drag strip or a runway doing high speed runs vs splashing its way around a swamp. 4WD will get it off the line much faster. The idea of this trunk seems similar to the GMC Syclone and Typhoon vehicles of the '80's.
The one thing I also noticed is the brakes look to be stock. When you put that much power behind a vehicle, its usually a good idea to improve the stopping power and heat management of the brakes.
Is that big box in the engine to the left of the coolant expansion resivoir a second fluid tank for a air/water intercooler or maybe a methenol or water injection system?

Probably someone making a modern version of the F-150 SVT Lightning from the late 90s/early 2000s. That was a fast truck then, this is probably fast now.

Any interior pictures? This could be frankenstien conversion made to look new. The wheel arches look way oversized for the wheels which appear bigger than stocks.

Re: Any Ford F150 Experts?
What I find strange is that it branded as a Limited, yet has plastic mirror housings and rear door window opening trim. Plus, Ford does not make a Limited regular cab.
That has to be a dealer/speed shop creation as stated above. No way that is Factory.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
