Ford and Shelby in the same sentence usually bring to mind the Shelby Mustang GT350 and GT500. Now, though, Shelby has leveled up the Raptor R's performance using a 3.8-liter supercharger that bumps up the power from 720 hp to well over 1,000 hp.This truck would be for those who think 720 hp is not enough oomph, or those who want to have a 1,000+ hp vehicle in their garage and tick it off their list. Actually, it makes more sense to have a pickup churning out those numbers because of practicality.A 1,000 hp pickup with suspension upgrades will almost literally go anywhere – a convenience you can't simply get from a supercar with delicate wings and with a ground clearance less than the thickness of paper. The big addition to the 5.2-liter supercharged V8 motor is a new 3.8-liter Whipple supercharger that makes the most difference.AdvertisementAdvertisementThen there are other performance modifications, such as a performance air intake with a high-flow air filter, a dual-core dual-pass intercooler system, Shelby-tuned BORLA exhaust, and a Billet throttle body.Image Credit: Shelby.com2026 F-150 Baja Raptor Also Gets More PerformanceNot only does the Raptor R receive the Shelby treatment, but Ford's V6-powered Baja Raptor does too. The 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 gets a new air intake, Shelby-tuned BORLA exhaust, performance aluminum intercooler, high-performance air filter, and a Shelby secret sauce ECU tune that bumps the output to 555 hp.According to Shelby, every truck receives a "serious" off-road package, including 37″ BFG KM3 Mud Terrain tires, 18″ two-tone off-road wheels, premium lift springs, power deployable XL running boards, front and rear Addictive Desert Designs bumpers, Vision X LED lighting, a Shelby Baja bed chase rack, full body rally stripes, and bold Baja Raptor graphics.AdvertisementAdvertisementSpeaking of the interior, it definitely features carbon fiber in there somewhere because Shelby has already used the word "performance" many times. To be as specific as Shelby, the Raptor comes with a "carbon fiber aesthetic trim." Also, it comes with billet racing pedals, embroidered floor mats, and Shelby-designed leather seating.Both the Baja Raptor and Raptor R come with seven stripes and color combinations. In addition, both models come with a 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty and retain the original Ford powertrain warranty. Pricing for the Baja Raptor starts at $146,795, while the Raptor R starts at $194,795.Image Credit: Shelby.com
