Shelby American has souped up Ford’s F-150 Raptor and F-250 Super Duty to roll out some serious off-road power and sporty styling for the popular pickups.

The new 2026 limited-edition models come in three varieties, ranging in MSRP from $147,000 to $195,000:

  • Shelby Ford F-150 Baja Raptor — 555-plus-horsepower gas V6; MSRP: $146,795.
  • Shelby Baja Raptor R — 1,000-plus-horsepower gas V8; MSRP: $194,795.
  • Shelby F-250 Super Baja — 500-horsepower turbo-diesel V8; MSRP: $159,795.

The Bajas all get new interior and exterior styling as well as a variety of off-road performance features. They are all built at Shelby Performance in Bristol, Indiana, and are available at select dealerships or through shelby.com.

Here’s a look at the new models:
