Roush Nitemare: Street Truck that Ford doesn't dare to build!

Pickups are currently experiencing a unprecedented popularity, but real Street trucks have almost completely disappeared from modern model ranges.

Manufacturers prefer to use raised chassis instead of sporty lowering. Roush However, it fills exactly this gap and transforms the F-150 with the new Nitemare package into a brutal street racer.

Roush Nitemare Street Truck

The kit lowers the front by 7,6 cm and the rear even around 12,7This is ensured by a chassis solution specially developed by Roush consisting of performance dampers, Drop spindles, Twin-tube dampers, Progressive springs and an reinforced stabilizer barIn tests, an F-150 SuperCrew XLT achieved powerful 0,79 g on a 200-foot skidpad and even 1,0 g on the racetrack – values ​​that are a statement in this class.

Visually, it is equipped with a black grille including integrated amber lighting, Hood vents and a special one Graphics package massively upgraded. Among the 22-inch large black Roush aluminums, which are 305 / 40R22 General Tire G-MAX AS07 all-season tires feature perforated discs for improved deceleration.

Interior: Premium meets performance

Roush also sets accents inside: Raven Black Leather with red Roush accents, numbered plaques and Aluminum pedals give the cabin a sophisticated yet sporty ambience. Three options are also available for the XLT models: a Alpine audio upgrade, Interior parts in carbon look , and a secured center console safe.

Prices: Luxury has its price

The Nitemare package starts at 19.999 dollars, which is equivalent to about 18.600 Euros (as of April 2025). However, this does not include the base vehicle. An F-150 XL with a regular cab starts at 39.445 dollars (about 36.670 euros), while an F-150 XLT SuperCrew from 50.050 dollars (about 46.530 Euro) starts.

This means that for a Roush Nitemare you need at least 59.444 dollars (around 55.240 Euro) on the table. Sure, a Nitemare may not be as off-road capable as a Raptor, but much cheaper – and, if we are honest, more exciting.

Conclusion: Truck for real enthusiasts

The nitemare is an uncompromising street truck that impresses not only with its looks but also with its performance. While other manufacturers prefer to focus on ever larger and taller pickups, Roush shows that there's still room for true street athletes. Anyone who wants to stand out from the crowd will find exactly the right vehicle here. Photo credit: Roush performance
