From the early days of motor racing to the era of EVs, Ford has pushed the boundaries by injecting innovation into its lineup to produce high-performing vehicles. Ford trucks, SUVs, and coupes are available with performance packages that elevate their capabilities to the max. We look at a few of the performance-enhanced vehicles on sale at your local Ford dealership.
What Are the Best Ford Models with Performance Packages?
1. Mustang Dark Horse
Since its inception 60 years ago, the Ford Mustang has remained a true icon and the muscle car everyone looks up to. The 2025 Mustang Dark Horse continues the tradition by bringing us a track-ready coupe that’s still fit for West Union roads. The 2025 Mustang Dark Horse delivers 500 horsepower with a track-ready design, making it one of the most powerful Mustangs ever built. With a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine, Ford’s most powerful naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 ever.
Everything about the Dark Horse’s construction is geared towards maximizing speed, power, and performance, from its Brembo brake system and electronic line-lock to its MagneRide damping system and 3.73 TORSEN limited-slip rear differential.

2. F-150 Raptor
The F-150 Raptor combines off-road prowess with exhilarating performance to exceed any other pickup on the market. The secret to its success is the high-output 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 nestling under the hood, giving you 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque to play with.
Whether on a woodland, mountain, or desert adventure, no obstacle will stand in your way thanks to the Raptor’s independent front suspension, 5-link rear suspension, and Fox Racing Shocks with Live Valve Technology. And, to help you conquer the most challenging terrain, Ford equips its most rugged pickup with seven selectable drive modes, including Slippery, Off-Road, Baja, and Rock Crawl.

3. Explorer ST
It may look like a tame SUV from the outside, but the 2025 Explorer ST puts in a high-octane performance to rival the even sportiest sedan. At its heart is a 400-horsepower 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 engine mated with a 10-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift capability that allows you to transform the transmission into an on-demand manual one using the steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
The Explorer ST displays premium quality both inside and out. A black mesh grille, LED lighting, and unique badging lend the exterior an upmarket appearance while the red brake calipers, black skid plates, and quad chrome exhaust tips hint at this SUV’s capabilities. Inside is all about comfort and luxury with Miko and red contrast stitching adorning the heated and ventilated front seats and a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system providing the soundtrack to every journey.
