Hennessey Performance is back at it again, this time unveiling its potent Venom 775 kit for the 2021 Ford F-150.
As standard, the 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 of the F-150 pumps out 400 hp but thanks to the fitment of a 3.0-liter twin screw supercharger, Hennessey has been able to extract 775 hp at 7,000 rpm and 685 lb-ft (928 Nm) at 4,800 rpm. Other engine upgrades made include the fitment of an air-to-water intercooler, dual core intercooler bricks, a high flow intercooler pump, an upgraded air filtration system, fuel system, heavy duty tensioner, and supercharger pulley, new spark plugs, and a new throttle body. Hennessey also tweaks the ECM and TCM and fits a stainless steel catback exhaust.

These upgrades allow the Venom 775 F-150 to sprint to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 3.9 seconds while running down the quarter-mile in 12.0 seconds at 117 mph (188 km/h). By comparison, Ram says the TRX needs 4.5 seconds to hit 60 mph and can set a best quarter-mile time of 12.9 seconds, although independent tests have shown it can hit 60 mph in less than 4 seconds without too much difficulty.
“Our dedicated Ford customers have been eager for a showroom stock ‘TRX killer’ since Ram unveiled the truck,” John Hennessey said in a statement. “HPE engineers have delivered with more horsepower, more torque and more capability – I could not be more pleased. Our new Venom 775 F-150 is faster and lighter than the factory TRX, and our order books are filling fast with F-150 fans determined to regain the high-ground.”
All 775 Venom F-150 models from Hennessey come with a three-year / 36,000-mile warranty. Customers can expect to pay between $90,000 and $110,000 for the super truck, including the stock F-150.
