Shelby American is celebrating a decade of high-performance pickups with its most extreme truck yet. The new 2026 Shelby F-150 arrives with more than 810 horsepower, aggressive off-road hardware, and enough visual attitude to stand out in today’s performance truck market.

Built on the Ford F-150 Lariat 4×4 SuperCrew platform, the anniversary edition marks ten years since Shelby introduced its first modern supercharged F-150. Back in 2015, performance pickups were still relatively niche. Since then, the segment has exploded with trucks like the F-150 Raptor R and Ram TRX pushing horsepower figures into supercar territory.

Shelby’s latest creation now sits at the top of that arms race. With 810-plus horsepower from a supercharged 5.0-liter V8, the truck officially outguns both the 720-horsepower Ford F-150 Raptor R and the 777-horsepower Ram 1500 TRX.

Production will be limited to just 600 units for the United States, adding a layer of exclusivity to a truck already designed to grab attention everywhere it goes.

Supercharged V8 Delivers More Than 810 Horsepower

At the heart of the truck sits Ford’s Gen-4 5.0-liter V8 fitted with a Stage 2 supercharger system developed by Shelby engineers. The setup produces more than 810 horsepower on 93-octane fuel and sends power to all four wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Shelby upgraded the engine with a carbon-fiber intake tube, high-flow intake system, larger fuel injectors, upgraded spark plugs, and a performance aluminum heat exchanger to help manage intake temperatures under heavy load. The supercharger itself wears Ford Racing blue powder coating, making it the visual centerpiece under the hood.

A Shelby-tuned Borla exhaust system completes the package and promises the kind of soundtrack expected from a boosted V8 pickup with this much power.

The truck also benefits from a functional dual-intake ram-air hood designed to feed additional airflow into the engine while adding to the truck’s aggressive appearance.

Serious Suspension And Chassis Upgrades

Shelby didn’t stop at adding horsepower. Engineers also heavily revised the suspension and braking systems to help the truck manage its massive output both on-road and off-road.

The suspension package includes Shelby’s proprietary lift system paired with KING Race Series 2.5 adjustable front coilovers featuring finned reservoirs, along with matching rear shocks and rear traction bars. The setup increases suspension travel while improving stability during acceleration and rough terrain driving.

Oversized drilled-and-slotted Baer Brakes rotors help bring the truck to a stop, while 22-inch Shelby wheels wrapped in 35-inch BFGoodrich KO3 all-terrain tires provide traction both on pavement and dirt.

Shelby says the truck was engineered to feel equally comfortable at a truck show, on the highway, or blasting across fire roads.

Shelby Gives The F-150 A Much More Aggressive Identity

Visually, the anniversary truck receives extensive body modifications that separate it from the standard F-150 donor truck. A custom-painted grille, integrated marker lights, painted bumper cover, functional fender vents, and smooth body-color flares give the truck a far more muscular appearance.

Traditional Shelby touches remain central to the design, including full-length Le Mans stripes, oversized Shelby graphics across the bed and rocker panels, and large 3D Shelby lettering stamped into the rear section of the truck.

Power-deployable running boards improve day-to-day usability despite the lifted ride height, while the bed receives a painted tonneau cover and Shelby BedRug liner for a cleaner and more premium finish.

Buyers will also have extensive customization options, including ten exterior colors and six stripe combinations.

Premium Interior Meets Muscle Truck Personality

Inside, the cabin combines luxury truck comfort with Shelby-specific details. The interior features Shelby-designed top-grain leather seats, carbon-fiber-style trim, billet racing pedals, embroidered floor mats, and serialized Shelby Registry plaques.

Special anniversary badging commemorates ten years of Shelby performance trucks, reinforcing the limited-production nature of the model.

Pricing starts at $140,795, including the donor F-150 Lariat 4×4 SuperCrew. That places the Shelby significantly above both the Raptor R and TRX in price, though exclusivity and customization play a major role in the truck’s appeal.

Each truck will also be documented in the official Shelby Registry and comes with a three-year/36,000-mile warranty while retaining Ford’s factory powertrain coverage.

For buyers looking for one of the most extreme factory-backed performance pickups ever built, Shelby appears determined to make sure its latest F-150 leaves a very loud impression.
