She describes it as something "for that special someone who has everything." 2021 Ford Shelby F-250 Super Baja truck was revealed this past Tuesday, and it's only $125,805. This Shelby American dream machine is a limited edition off-roading truck without peer. If you want it, you may have to act fast because there will only be 250 manufactured. This diesel off-roader is cool to the max.
The truck has a V8 turbo diesel with 475-horsepower, which is nothing to scoff at. Ms. Howard claims it is "best-in-class" and we don't doubt it.
"It is the dream of truck junkies everywhere: 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbo diesel with 1,050 pound-feet of torque, an advanced off-road suspension system that gives the truck greater ride height, more travel and off-road handling. It's a three-quarter-ton truck," writes Howard.
According to Shelby American president Gary Patterson, they created the Super Baja by combining all the best features and experience they'd gained from the Shelby Raptor and Shelby F-150 programs.
Because of their history, whenever the Shelby team releases something new, everyone wants to see it and experience it. Motor Trend calls the new truck "Loud and Proud." Motor Illustrated calls is a "Super Raptor." And the CNET Road Show says it's "ready to hit the trails." Nearly everyone seems to be gushing over it.
I don't want to steal any thunder from the Detroit Free press. Instead, I encourage you to go read the rest of the details here.
After you've finished reading about it, you may feel inclined to make a purchase. If so, here's the place to go. We have no idea how long these 250 F-250s will be available.

The company started work with Fox to create a suspension system worthy of this kind of off-road truck, which includes more travel to better handle what the unpaved path ahead tosses in a driver's way. A BDS lift system, adjustable coil overs up front and factory race shocks in the rear are ready for action, all with tuning from Shelby. A set of 37-inch BF Goodrich tires wraps 18-inch alloy wheels to round out some of the most important parts of an off-road truck.
ReplyDeleteStylistically, Shelby created a new ram air hood to pump up the truck's already beefy looks, and the front and rear bumpers are powder-coated. Additional tow points, painted front grille and matching fender flares, powered side steps with rock sliders and more are all part of the package, too. A couple of Super Baja graphics let other trail-goers know this ain't your typical Super Duty.
Under the hood is Ford's trusty 6.7-liter turbodiesel V8 engine that still makes 475 horsepower and 1,050 pound-feet of torque. That's already rather potent, so it's not surprising to see Shelby focus its attention elsewhere. As for the cockpit, it gets the typical Shelby gear with custom leather seat covers, embroidery and stainless-steel gauges complete with Carroll Shelby's signature.
