5.0 door badge

[Nano150]

I saw in a parking lot today a newer looking F150 with a “5.0” door badge emblem in the same spot where the typical “powerboost” badge would be.
Curious if there is a specific build that includes this badge or is it an aftermarket piece?

I can say with about 96% certainty that it’s an aftermarket badge

I read somewhere that those add 10-15 HP.

Not technically, but effectively, yes. The aerodynamics of the aftermarket badge provides a boost similar to a 10-15 HP increase. Of course this effect is exaggerated the faster one travels due to fluid dynamics. Much like strategically placed stickers on vehicle or "Bold New Graphics" on a motorcycle. It's science.

I heard of you can find the ever elusive howling coyote badge, that gets you another 25 hp.

I have thought about adding a 5.0 badge somewhere as I feel, in this day and age, that it’s a travesty not to advertise a V8. GMC/Chevy both have hood badges, Rams all do, and every other engine option is advertised in the F150 lineup. But I also like a badgeless truck. Lol.

As far as the original post, the 5.0 badges are plentiful on eBay, and I would imagine Amazon and/or Etsy would be other options.

actually it’s kind of funny, the only way to tell if an F-150 has a V8 is no badges at all!

Power boost has one, eco boost has one

My truck has a 5.0 badge but I put it on myself. It was primarily to hide some small scratches I put in the brushed plastic trim piece when I was drilling out the hole for the upper glovebox light. ?

That’s a valid point. But I feel only Ford owners are aware of this. Lol.

I did from stock STX to Badge King 5.0....would love to go back to basic STX. It doesn't fit that well.

[FrankThompson]

whats that?

The coyote cuts off part of the 0 making it look like a C

I still like it

 

[Graygoose2021]

ahhhhh, yes.

 

[Jglew82]

Yeah, the badge actually looks pretty cool. Too bad it doesn't fit that well.

 

[Graygoose2021]

thanks, it still bothers me everytime I look at them...
