Unlike the 2025 Ram 1500 TRX, which is nowhere to be found because it was discontinued when Stellantis switched to the refreshed Ram 1500 series, the 2021-2024 Roush F-150 Supercharger Kit is available for both pre- and facelifted F-150 pickup trucks.
Unfortunately for high-performance pickup truck fans, the 2024 Ram 1500 TRX was the last of its 702-horsepower 6.2-liter supercharged kind as the Hemi V8 model had to make way for the refreshed 2025 Ram 1500 RHO with its 540-hp 3.0-liter inline-six twin-turbo Hurricane mill. The updated 2024 Ford F-150 doesn't have such issues, and the Raptor plus Raptor R models are happily available – albeit at much higher prices.

For example, the 2024 Ford F-150 kicks off at $37,065 in workhorse XL form, but if you want the very best capability for rock crawling and high-speed dune bashing then you have to churn out no less than $78,540 for a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6-equipped Raptor and an additional $31,925 (!) to change the configuration to a Raptor R with the 5.2-liter supercharged V8 engine. That's more than $110k, by the way.

As such, it is no wonder that members of the aftermarket realm are striving to offer about the same amount of power or more for much less. Not long ago, for example, we noticed that a 2024 Ford F-150 Tremor by Steeda would scratch any OEM Raptor R itch with its 800-horsepower 5.0-liter supercharged Coyote V8 – however, it was pretty close to the Ford offering as it costs more than $101k.

Well, if you want something cheaper, maybe Livonia, Michigan-based Roush Performance has the right answer. In April, they announced the signature performance overhaul for the facelifted 2024 Ford F-150. The modifications included styling touches, interior upgrades, and performance improvements like  Roush's performance coil-over suspension and 20-inch off-road wheels shod in 3-inch General Tire Grabber A/TX all-terrain tires.

The package for the 2024 model year Ford F-150 currently starts at $25,150 above the base vehicle's MSRP and, as you can see, doesn't include any performance enhancements. No worries, as Roush Performance just announced that its 2021-and-onwards F-150 supercharger kit has also become compatible with the refreshed 2024 model year.

Thus, the "comprehensive supercharger kit delivers an impressive 705 horsepower and 635 lb-ft of torque for an increase of +305HP over stock," and it's all for $8,649.99 with free shipping. Keep in mind that installation difficulty is listed as 'advanced" and that the application is for the F-150 models with the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 under the hood. On the other hand, the good news is that you're getting the "advanced" Roush TVS R2650 (2.65L) system complete with the company's three-year or 36k-mile limited powertrain warranty (when installed by a Ford dealer or certified ASE technician).
