2006 Ford F-150 XLT

Offered for sale by Carnival Car Company, this 2006 Ford F-150 XLT Roush Stage 3 represents a rarely-seen collaboration between American muscle and pickup utility, boasting performance and visual enhancements far beyond the standard F-150. With only 45,141 miles on the odometer since new, this low-mileage example is a striking demonstration of what Roush Performance was capable of delivering during its peak era of Ford truck modifications.

Finished in a beautiful silver exterior adorned with Roush blue stripes, a Roush-charged hood scoop, and an aggressive chin spoiler, this truck commands attention from every angle. A rear spoiler further defines its performance pedigree, while unique styling cues distinguish it from virtually every other F-150 on the road. Inside, the cabin features a gray interior outfitted in a combination of leather and soft cloth, with “Supercharged” embroidery stitched into the seats to signal its factory-backed muscle. This example includes three fobs and two keys, highlighting a thoughtful level of completeness rarely found in enthusiast-grade vehicles of this era.

The heart of the Stage 3 Roush package is its 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine, which elevates the F-150 far beyond its standard factory offering. While the base F-150 with the naturally aspirated 5.4L V8 delivered 300 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque, Roush upgraded this powerplant with a roots-style blower and accompanying performance hardware, resulting in a serious leap in power output—documented by third-party sources at 445 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. The result is a driving experience marked by robust acceleration and the unmistakable whine of the supercharger, audible from the cabin under throttle, reminding the driver that this is no ordinary truck. Power is sent through a 4-speed automatic transmission, pairing smooth shifts with relentless torque delivery that’s ideal for both cruising and spirited driving alike.

The 2006 model year of the F-150 benefited from Ford’s most refined version of the 11th-generation platform, including a fully boxed frame and rack-and-pinion steering system, which gave the truck excellent road manners and a solid, confident feel behind the wheel. It’s this blend of muscular power, visual distinction, and overall engineering refinement that continues to make the Stage 3 Roush F-150 a highly desirable vehicle among performance truck enthusiasts.

Entertainment is handled through a straightforward AM/FM stereo, maintaining a clean and functional dash layout that suits the vehicle’s dual-purpose character. While not overburdened with modern touchscreens or distracting tech, this cabin emphasizes the essentials of driving, performance, and utility.

Roush never publicly released full production figures for its Stage 3 trucks, but it is widely understood that these were produced in extremely limited quantities, making them far more elusive than traditional Ford F-150s of the era. Combined with its tasteful cosmetic modifications, substantial performance gains, and factory-backed build quality, this truck offers a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special piece of American performance truck history.

According to the CARFAX report, this F-150 Roush Stage 3 has a clean title, and the second owner retained the truck for 11 years, further underlining its long-term appeal and uniqueness. Enthusiasts looking for a factory-modified muscle truck with serious power, aggressive styling, and limited-production pedigree would be hard-pressed to find another like it.
