A decade after the Ford Shelby F-150 truck was introduced by Shelby American, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc., the company will celebrate with an 810-plus horsepower 10th anniversary edition of the Ford F-150 pickup. The redesigned Shelby truck features more power, advanced King Shocks suspension, anniversary badges and a long list of customization options, company officials stated in a press release. Shelby Performance will begin production of the new Shelby F-150 in May 2026 at its facility in Bristol, Indiana, with availability of the vehicle through a nationwide network of dealers.
“Demand for high-performance trucks has skyrocketed over the past 10 years, which is why we continue to offer Shelby edition models based on the best light-duty pickup in the world, the Ford F-150,” said Joe Conway, CEO of Shelby American. “We’re honoring our significant milestone with an exceptional Shelby edition truck that once again polishes the blue oval.”
“The Shelby version of the Ford F-150 builds upon a dynamic platform perfect for customization,” said Gary Patterson, president of Shelby American. “We started with a fresh Shelby build sheet to redesign the half-ton pickup with remarkable on- and off-road capabilities, advanced technology and superior handling. The result is the amazing 2026 Ford Shelby F-150.”
The Shelby F-150 is based on the best-selling Ford F-150 with a 5.0-liter V-8 and 10-speed automatic transmission. It continues a reputation for strength, versatility and everyday practicality, noted the release.
“The very first Shelby F-150 was hailed for its amazing prowess, setting new truck standards,” said Vince LaViolette, Shelby American vice president of operations. “That ‘trailblazing’ mentality drove us to exceed every performance metric we’ve ever offered in a Shelby F-150.”
810-Plus HP Powertrain & Suspension
The Shelby team says it carefully developed their anniversary edition of the four-wheel-drive vehicle with top suppliers in the industry. Starting with Ford’s 5.0L V-8, the company added a carbon-fiber intake tube to feed a Shelby-engineered 810-Plus HP stage 2 supercharger that features a powder-coated Ford Racing blue blower and intake manifold, as well as a performance air intake and high-flow air filter. Other key elements include a performance aluminum heat exchanger, upgraded high-performance fuel injectors and Ford performance spark plugs. Shelby-tuned BORLA Performance exhaust with custom exhaust tips rounds out the performance enhancements.
All that power is transferred to various surfaces through a proprietary premium full suspension lift system that increases the ride height, delivers more travel and transforms how the truck responds, the company said. Shelby collaborated with King suspension, adding its Race Series 2.5 adjustable front coil-overs with finned reservoirs and rear shocks, as well as rear traction bars. Baer oversized drilled and slotted brake rotors slow the truck down. The Shelby F-150’s 22-inch alloy wheels wear BFG’s new 35-inch KO3 BFG tires.
Exterior Styling & Customization Options
The Shelby team says it attacked the vehicle’s styling with the same enthusiasm, from a new exclusive aluminum functional dual intake ram air hood to the DOT-compliant grille and fenders, power deployable running boards, and rock guards. Custom touches include body color smooth fender flares, painted front bumper cover, painted replacement grille, painted front fender vents and tonneau cover, as well as Shelby full body Le Mans style stripes.
The 2026 Shelby F-150 also offers the longest list of personalization options in the truck’s storied history, the company said. Ten exterior and six stripe color options are available, while 10th anniversary badges round out the package. The ability to match the Shelby grille lettering with the stripe color is new for 2026.
Interior Features, Pricing & Availability
Shelby says its performance trucks are popular with enthusiasts for balancing performance with comfortable, handsome interiors. The Shelby F-150 off-road has exclusive full leather seat covers, digital gauges, custom carbon-fiber accents, embroidered floor mats and billet racing pedals. Each comes with anniversary badges and a CSM serialized plate inside.
“The Shelby F-150 is the standard for performance excellence,” said Brock Patterson, Shelby Performance director of sales and marketing. “We’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of this icon by seriously amping up its capabilities and offering the most customizable Shelby F-150 in history. With only a small number of vehicles available for this model year, collectability is off the charts.”
The 2026 Shelby has an MSRP of $140,795, including a fully loaded Lariat 4×4, F-150 SuperCrew chassis with a 5.0 engine, which has an estimated MSRP of $77,170. The trucks come with a 3 year/36,000-mile warranty. The powertrain warranty from Ford Motor Company remains intact.
Only 600 of these refined light-duty trucks will be offered through select Shelby Performance Ford dealers across the United States; additional units will be available in North America. Production will be limited to maintain performance standards and exclusivity, officials stated. Each will be documented in the official Shelby Registry, and the owner will become a member of Team Shelby, the official enthusiast club. These trucks will also be listed in Black Book.
