Texas-based Hennessey Performance Engineering is preparing to unveil the next iteration of the Venom 775 Supercharged package, which is based on the F-150 with the 5.0-liter Coyote V8. The design teaser below appears to depict a SuperCrew with a few modifications, including backlit H775 badging on the front fenders, plus illuminated Ford logos fore and aft.
Black-painted wheels complemented by mud-terrain rubber and performance brakes from Brembo, what appears to be a Whipple supercharger, an upgraded exhaust system, and Venom-specific front and rear bumpers are featured as well.

As far as the cabin is concerned, Hennessey embroidered on the headrests are the only noticeable changes. A serialized plaque is certainly featured as well, plus one for the engine bay to attest that this isn't your typical Ford F-150.

Scheduled to be revealed soon, the revamped go-faster kit is dubbed 775 after the number of ponies developed at the crankshaft. For the 2023 model year, the Venom 775 Supercharged is listed with 685 pound-feet (929 Nm) of torque at 4,800 revolutions per minute. By comparison, the stock engine puts out 400 naturally-aspirated ponies and 410 pound-feet (556 Nm) of torque at 4,250 revolutions per minute.

The F-150 still uses a single air intake box and throttle body as opposed to a dual setup for the Coyote in the redesigned Mustang. The Dark Horse is the pokiest specification of this engine, packing 500 ponies and 418 pound-feet (567 Nm).

In addition to the cat-back exhaust and Whipple-supplied blower, the Venom 775 Supercharged package further includes an upgraded fuel system, injectors, air intake, an air-to-water intercooler, and engine management calibration. Every build is tested on the dyno and the Pennzoil Proving Ground before delivery, and every build comes with three years/36,000 miles (60,000 kilometers) of limited warranty.

Described as faster and lighter than a bone-stock Ram 1500 TRX, the Venom 775 Supercharged can be had in two specifications: Performance and Off-Road. The F-150 in the video below is the latter specification, which differs from the Performance exactly as you'd expect it to differ. Smooth fender flares, LEDs in the front bumper, AMP power running boards, as well as a 6.0-inch suspension lift kit are included.

It's also worth noting that Ford is preparing to launch the 2024 model year F-150 this very summer, although the exact date of unveiling isn't publicly known. Ranging between the XL Regular Cab to the Raptor R, prototypes with varying degrees of camouflage have been spied in Michigan as of late. In addition to aesthetic upgrades, the 2024 truck will further get a revised interior with a larger portrait-oriented touchscreen.

Ford also filed a trademark for F-150 Flash mere days ago, yet it's not clear whether this moniker will be used for this generation of the half-ton workhorse, the next one, or a concept. With the all-electric F-150 dubbed Lightning, the new handle is likely reserved for a zero-emission pickup.
