SHELBY AMERICAN - Shelby American, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc. (CSBI:PK), has unveiled the new 2021 Shelby F-250 Super Baja, a truck built for daily and off-road adventure. By combining Ford’s incredible 6.7-liter Power Stroke® turbo diesel churning out 1,050 lb.-ft. of torque with a Shelby-tuned advanced off-road suspension system, the three-quarter ton truck delivers both serious off-road capabilities with best-in-class towing. Only 250 of the limited-edition trucks will be available through select Ford dealers in the United States for the 2021 model year.
“The astounding capabilities of the Ford Shelby
F-150 truck led to requests for a three-quarter ton truck that delivered
maximum towing capacity and serious off-road capabilities,” said Gary Patterson, president of Shelby American. “We leveraged
expertise gained from our Shelby Raptor and Shelby F-150 programs to create the
Shelby F-250 Super Baja pickup.”
Building on the world-class Ford truck, the
Shelby team carefully developed their version of the class-leading F-250. FOX
performance created a suspension system that gives the truck a higher ride
height, more travel and improved off-road handling. The Shelby F-250 Super Baja
wears 18-inch alloy wheels bearing BFG KM3 37-inch tires, with a pair of spares
mounted on a steel chase rack in the bed. The Shelby gets a functional Ram Air
Hood with extraction vent, powder coated steel front and rear bumpers, tow
points, air flow vents and LED lighting around the truck. Features include
painted front grille and fender flares, XL power steps with rock sliders and
lights, bed liner, tinted windows and powder coated exhaust tips. Exterior
Shelby stripes and badges proclaim the truck’s heritage.
“The amazing suspension on the Shelby F-250 Super
Baja is engineered to handle a wide variety of terrain, from hard core
off-roading to performance street driving,” said Vince LaViolette, Shelby
American Vice President of Operations and Chief Designer. “It includes a custom
BDS lift system, custom front radius arms and dual steering stabilizer. We
install front coilovers with Fox adjustable reservoirs in the front and Factory
Race adjustable shocks with piggyback reservoirs in the rear. We integrate
functional bodywork to maximize our modifications. In addition to the
spectacular
torque, Ford’s V8 turbo diesel delivers a best in class 475 horsepower. With so much power and extraordinary handling, it
is the ultimate heavy-duty truck.”
Shelby performance trucks are legendary for
featuring comfortable, handsome interiors. The Shelby F-250 Super Baja has
exclusive full leather seat covers, accents and embroidery, stainless steel gauges
with a speedometer recalibration, custom carbon fiber accents, embroidered
floor mats and billet racing pedals. Each comes with Shelby Super Baja badges
and CSM serialized plate on the dash.
The amazing Shelby super truck has an MSRP
starting at $125,805, including a Lariat Ultimate 4x4 Ford F-250. The trucks
come with a 3 year/36,000-mile
warranty. The powertrain warranty
from Ford Motor Company remains intact.
