Roush Upgrades Ford F-250/F350 Lariat Into More Capable Pickup

If you are looking for a pickup upgrade that will make your 2021 Super Duty Lariat into a more capable off-roader then consider a Roush upgrade.
The Roush Lariat Upgrade Tows A Boat

There's little doubt that Ford makes one of the most capable truck lines on the market, but there's an interesting quirk in that lineup. You see, while the F-150 is readily upgradable for off-road use and while the Raptor is available in the Super Duty series, there is little another incentive to upgrade the Super Duty lineup. For example, Ford Lariat buyers can option their vehicles from Ford Performance, but it is hit-or-miss, which is why tuners like Roush offer upgrade packages. Once installed, the Super Duty model is ready for heavy-duty bushwhacking.

An Alternative View Of The Roush Upgrade To Your Lariat

For buyers, the Roush Performance upgrade for your Super Duty takes all the trouble out of the decision-making process and lets you order and ultimately enjoy your F-250/350. Roush has been tuning and upgrading Fords for more than a quarter of a century with excellent results.

For 2021, Roush offers a blend of capability paired with its legendary styling as it takes the Super Duty and ratchets it up a notch to a new level.

For example, the Roush Super Duty features a high-performance coil-over Fox 2.0 Performance Suspension System. The Super Duty features 20-inch wheels rolling on 35-inch General Grabber A/TX tires to improve the pickup's handling both on and off-road. The suspension improves the Super Duty's performance by leveling the truck giving it better handling characteristics.

The Roush Super Duty features an aggressive set of fender flares that add to the Super Duty's iconic styling. The front end features a custom high-flow Roush grille that features dual LED light bars, a unique bumper cover, and a Roush graphics package.

Roush Upgrade Adds Fender Flares

Interestingly, the color-coded fender flares give Super Duty pickup a more expansive stance while also adding to its dynamic appearance. The widened stance plus the suspension system mean the Super Duty has excellent performance characteristics.

The unique graphics kit, complete with Roush branding, adds many touches, including an American Flag and extra accents that include Jack Roush's signature.

On the inside, the Super Duty features uniquely embroidered headrests, a serialized Console Badge, gauge cluster, and WeatherTech floor liners. The interior also features premium leather seats with branded headrests; a secure steel Console Vault that provides secure storage for valuables. And Roush also adds an off-road utility kit that includes high-quality jumper cables, tow straps, tow hooks, ratchet tie-down straps, plus branded flashlight and gloves.
