The Michigan-based outfit’s mod of the country’s best-selling vehicle was developed by the same team behind that did its custom Hummer H1. While not quite as potent as the Hennessey Performance’s “Venom 775” F-150, Mil-Spec did tune the pickup’s 5.0-liter V8 to produce 500 horsepower.

The bolstered engine is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission with a four-wheel drive shift-on-the-fly transfer case, allowing drivers to choose between four-high, four-low or two-high power delivery settings.
