Overview
- Shelby announced two 2026 Baja Raptor models: a tuned 3.5‑liter EcoBoost V6 rated at 555 horsepower and a range‑topping R that uses a supercharged V8 to deliver well over 1,000 horsepower.
- Both trucks are fitted with dedicated off‑road hardware including 18‑inch wheels wrapped in 37‑inch BFGoodrich mud‑terrain tires, a lift kit, steel bumpers from Addictive Desert Designs, a Shelby chase rack and upgraded lighting.
- Shelby published pricing and availability on its website with the V6 model starting at $146,795 and the Baja Raptor R starting at $194,795, marking roughly $70,000–$85,000 premiums over factory F‑150 prices.
- Shelby says both models include a 3‑year/36,000‑mile Shelby warranty while retaining Ford's original powertrain warranty, a point the company highlights for buyers worried about high‑power modifications.
- The launch sharpens a recent market trend toward extreme high‑power pickups and builds on Shelby’s long history of Ford tuning as rivals such as Ram have pushed factory trucks higher in horsepower.
