Rugged pickups are a hot commodity and Shelby American is responding by introducing their 2021 F-250 Super Baja.
According to Shelby American President Gary Patterson, “The astounding capabilities of the Ford Shelby F-150 … led to requests for a three-quarter ton truck that delivered maximum towing capacity and serious off-road capabilities.”
The company has delivered as the F-250 Super Baja features a 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel engine that produces 475 hp (354 kW / 482 PS) and 1,050 lb-ft (1,424 Nm) of torque. It’s connected to a ten-speed automatic transmission and a standard four-wheel drive system.

“The Clark family likes to drive their car on the street, and they don’t plan to track it,” said Vince LaViolette. “That’s why we gave their Shelby an aggressive suspension tune to make it more responsive but still comfortable. Then we added a bit more power, sharpened the styling and made the interior even more distinctive. We even created special one-off badges for them. This car demonstrates how our SPP division can guide anyone seeking to tailor their car with components from our extensive catalog.”
