5.0 Supercharged
Howdy all,
I have had a few F150s in the past (5.4, 6.2, and a 3.5(loved it!!!)). I am currently in a 2016 F250 due to what my dealer had available immediately after a flood, but want back into a F150. The reason I give my history, I don't want anyone to think that I am blowing smoke or wasting your time.
When the new body style F150s come out (2020/2021?) I want to get another. Unless the rumors of the 7.0/7.3V8 come true, I want more power than the 3.5eb. Has anyone ran across a dealer that installs the Whipple SC themselves on a King Ranch? I would like to get it all done at one time and be done with it. I know lots of dealers put them on Lariats and call it the Roush package, but they are reluctant to do it to anything else.
Looking for info and a direction to head for a good dealer on a 5.0 supercharged when the new body styles comes out. Thanks for any and all help.

body the 6.2L is at a serious weight disadvantage. Anyway yes agreed, would be a fun sleeper indeed. Here is a little stock 6.2 vs ecoboost action of the steel bodies.

I'm sure you can find a dealer that does aftermarket installs that would put it on any model you want but if you don't want to do it yourself your probably better off finding a reputable shop near you to do the install rather than the dealer. The reason the dealers put them on the lower trim is to have a much bigger markup. If they put a whipple and some cosmetic stuff on an XLT and then charge 60 or 70k for it vs them putting it on a truck thats already 70 or 80k they would have to charge120k to get the same markup out of it and nobody is going to pay that.

Personally, I'd trust a reputable shop before I'd trust a dealer - unless it's one of the very few dealers (like Lebanon) that basically *is* a hot-rod shop. Either way, your warranty is gone (unless you stick with the Roush stuff and get the Roush warranty... and I don't believe Roush uses Whipple).
