The days of high-performance regular cab pickup trucks are not behind us, as Saleen has once again taken the iconic F-150 to new heights. The 2024 Saleen Sportruck, built on the F-150 platform, offers three distinct powertrain options: a turbocharged 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter COYOTE V8, and a supercharged 5.0-liter COYOTE V8.
Saleen, a veteran in the high-performance pickup market since launching its first Sportruck in 1987, boasts an impressive legacy with 49 wins in the SCCA Racetruck Challenge racing series, clinching both driver’s and manufacturer’s championship titles.
“We are excited to have returned to our heritage with a high-performance Saleen Sportruck. This fits perfectly into our full line of high-performance vehicles carrying the Saleen brand,” said Steve Saleen, CEO of Saleen Automotive. “Like all of our products, sportscar DNA runs through the soul of the Sportruck.”
