Ford and Shelby’s High-Octane Trucks. Muscle Car Attitude with Pickup Power

Ford and Shelby’s High-Octane Trucks. Muscle Car Attitude with Pickup Power

Muscle Car DNA, Pickup Truck Versatility—No Compromises Allowed

Let’s face it—there comes a time when the two-door coupe just doesn’t cut it anymore. Maybe the garage’s got a fishing boat now, a family, a couple of dogs, or maybe hauling hardware has replaced weekend canyon runs. But deep down, that fire for raw power and unfiltered torque still burns.

That’s exactly the kind of thinking that led to the creation of Shelby Trucks—the high-performance, street-dominating, dirt-kicking, full-size answer to anyone who still craves the sound of a supercharged V8 but needs more than two seats and a trunk.

Ford and Shelby saw the writing on the wall: the modern gearhead wanted both brawn and utility. So they took the spirit of the Mustang GT500, injected it into an F-Series chassis, and created trucks that look as mean as they drive.

From Pony Cars to Pickup Power

These trucks weren’t made for mall parking lots and weekend mulch runs—though they’ll do both in style. No, these are purpose-built muscle machines wearing pickup body panels. They're a declaration that performance doesn’t stop when you swap out the coupe for a crew cab.

Whether it’s asphalt or off-road, Shelby gave these trucks supercar levels of power, aggressive stance, and interiors that rival luxury SUVs. So for those who want the Mustang’s muscle with the muscle of a full-size truck, Shelby built the answer—times four.

Shelby F-150 Super Snake

This is what happens when a Mustang GT500 grows a bed and gets a taste for top speed. Designed for the street, this F-150 isn’t just sporty—it’s blisteringly fast.

Specs:

  • Engine: 5.0L Coyote V8
  • Horsepower: 395 hp (stock) or 775 hp with Whipple supercharger
  • 0–60 mph: As low as 3.9 seconds
  • Driveline: 4WD with lowered sport-tuned suspension
  • Exhaust: Borla performance system with ceramic-coated tips
  • Wheels: 22-inch aluminum alloys
  • Tires: High-performance street tires

The truck gets a fully customized exterior with hood scoops, striping, and Shelby badging. Inside, it's leather-trimmed and loaded with premium Shelby embroidery, aluminum trim, and serialized plaques.

This isn’t a truck that looks fast, it is fast.

Shelby F-150 Off-Road

For those who want the power but prefer to throw dirt, the Shelby F-150 Off-Road swaps low profile tires for trail-ready rubber without giving up a single horsepower.

Highlights:

  • Same 5.0L V8 with optional 775 hp supercharger
  • FOX 2.5 coil-over internal bypass shocks with rear reservoirs
  • 18-inch wheels with 35-inch BFGoodrich KO2s
  • Heavy-duty suspension with adjustable ride height
  • Functional steel bumper with LED lighting
  • Shelby chase rack and bed-mounted spare This one’s perfect for anyone who wants to power through sand dunes in the morning and cruise Main Street that night.

Shelby F-250 Super Baja

The F-250 Super Baja is what happens when a heavy-duty diesel gets the Shelby treatment. It’s built for serious work and serious play—and looks downright menacing doing both.

Diesel Muscle Specs:

  • Engine: 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Diesel
  • Horsepower: 475 hp / 1,050 lb-ft of torque
  • Suspension: FOX 2.5 dual reservoir adjustable shocks
  • Lift: 4.5-inch Carli Suspension system
  • Wheels/Tires: 18-inch rims with 37-inch Baja AT tires
  • Bed-mounted spare tire carrier and chase rack with LED bar
  • Gearing: 3.55 electronic locking rear axle Inside, it’s all about premium leather, billet accents, custom badging, and smart technology. This is a luxury off-roader that pulls like a freight train and rides like a trophy truck.

Shelby Baja Raptor

Already one of the most capable off-road trucks on the market, the Ford Raptor gets a serious bump when Shelby gets involved.

Baja Beast Mode:

  • Engine: 3.5L twin-turbo EcoBoost V6
  • Horsepower: 525 hp / 610 lb-ft of torque
  • Suspension: FOX 3.0 internal bypass system, retuned by Shelby
  • Exterior: Steel bumpers, hood scoops, LED lighting, side steps
  • Wheels/Tires: 18-inch beadlock-style wheels with 35s
  • Extras: Powder-coated chase rack with dual mounted spares

It’s got the throttle response of a sports car, the capability of a desert pre-runner, and the daily drivability of a commuter truck. For those who live in the dirt but demand a high-spec ride, this is the go-to.

Premium Interiors with Purpose

No matter the model, Shelby’s interior upgrades transform these trucks from workhorse to powerhouse with polish.

Interior Upgrades Include:

  • Katzkin leather seats with Shelby embroidery
  • Carbon fiber dash inserts
  • CNC-machined aluminum racing pedals
  • Shelby-branded gauges and console plaques
  • Full infotainment systems with upgraded audio

It's all the high-end cabin feel of a luxury car with the performance pedigree of a muscle icon. Whether you’re towing or tearing up trails, you're doing it in comfort.

Gas or Diesel: Shelby Offers Both

Shelby didn’t take sides in the great gas vs. diesel debate—they just said, “Let’s build monsters with both.”

  • Gas: The 5.0L Coyote V8, supercharged to 775 hp, powers the F-150 Super Snake and Off-Road variants.
  • Diesel: The 6.7L Power Stroke, tuned to perfection, gives the F-250 Super Baja over 1,000 lb-ft of torque and serious pulling power.

Each engine platform is optimized, cooled, and reinforced with performance parts, custom intakes, heavy-duty transmissions, and tuned exhaust notes that announce arrival before the tires hit the driveway.

Trucks for the Mustang-Blooded

There’s a reason these trucks strike a chord with longtime Mustang lovers. They’re unapologetically loud, muscular, and designed to turn heads while tearing up roads—or trails.

They offer:

  • Street performance with Super Snake flair
  • Off-road capability with Baja-ready hardware
  • Diesel durability with luxury-truck class
  • Unique style with collector-grade rarity

And unlike most limited-production vehicles, these trucks work. Tow your boat, haul your gear, blast through the desert—then show up at Cars and Coffee and park it next to your GT500. It’ll fit right in.

The Best of Both Worlds

Shelby’s line of trucks proves something muscle car fans have known all along: performance isn’t defined by size—it’s defined by attitude. Whether you’re jumping dunes, dragging tailgates, or just want to own a pickup that makes Ferraris nervous, there’s a Shelby truck that fits the bill.

They’re the perfect fusion of function and firepower—built for people who refuse to compromise.

Because growing up doesn’t mean giving up speed. It just means you need more room to carry it around.
