In 2015, Shelby American launched a super truck based on the Ford F-150 platform for the 2016 model year, and in 2026, the company is celebrating with a 10th anniversary edition of the same formula, now with over 810 horsepower. That’s more than the Ford F-150 Raptor R (720 hp) or the Ram TRX Bloodshot Night Edition (777 hp). Production begins this month at Shelby’s facility in Bristol, Indiana, and the company is throwing the kitchen sink at this 5.0-liter supercharged V8 monster, which powers all four wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission. Let’s take a closer look.
Ford Racing Upgrades Help Make Shelby’s Super Truck Faster
Shelby has fitted a carbon fiber intake tube with a high-performance air filter to feed fresh air to its stage 2 supercharger with a Ford Racing blower and intake manifold finished in blue powder coating. With more air, partly thanks to a functional ram air hood with dual inlets, comes the need for more fuel, so Shelby has upgraded the fuel injectors and spark plugs, while a new aluminum heat exchanger helps optimize temperatures. Completing the setup is a Shelby-specific Borla performance exhaust with custom dual exits. To help send the power to the road, Shelby’s F-150 features King Race Series 2.5 adjustable front coilovers with finned reservoirs and rear shocks with traction bars, and bringing the pickup to a stop are Baer oversized drilled and slotted brake discs with red caliper covers, hidden behind 22-inch alloy wheels (in black or chrome) with BFGoodrich’s latest 35-inch KO3 BFG tires.
Shelby F-150 Gets New Looks and Fresh Interior
The body gets a custom front bumper cover and new grille, along with power deployable XL running boards with lights and rock guards. The back end of the vehicle also gets a tonneau cover, and the fender flares are bedazzled with marker lights, with the front fenders also gaining functional vents. Elsewhere, Shelby graphics appear on the rocker panels, bedsides, and tailgate, and the bed gets a liner from BedRug. The windows are also darkened with a 50-state-legal tint. In keeping with tradition, full Le Mans-style stripes – in Gloss Blue, Gloss Gray, Gloss Red, Gloss Silver, Gloss White, or Matte Black – run over the entire vehicle, which is available in a number of colors:
- Agate Black
- Antimatter Blue
- Argon Blue
- Avalanche Gray
- Carbonized Gray Metallic
- Iconic Silver
- Oxford White
- Marsh Gray
- Ruby Red
- Star White Metallic

Inside, Shelby fits its own leather seat covers and adds 10-year anniversary badges, carbon fiber trim elements, and billet pedals. You also get Shelby embroidered floor mats, and under the hood, an engine bay plaque makes the supercharged V8 look more special. So what does all this cost? Well, the truck is based on a fully-loaded F-150 Lariat 4×4, which starts at $77,170, and it carries a base MSRP of $140,795. In other words, Shelby’s upgrades cost $63,625. For the record, the 2025 Raptor R started at $114,220, while the new TRX will start at $102,590 (both prices include a $2,595 destination charge).
