Aside from enjoying a long-standing relationship with Ford, Shelby American has also churned out its fair share of cool modified versions of several Blue Oval models over the years. That includes the Ford F-150, which has previously been offered in Shelby Baja Raptor form as an alternative to the factory-based high-performance off-roader, as well as the on-road focused Super Snake, the F-250 based Super Baja, and the recently-revealed 2024 Shelby F-150, which is poised as an alternative to the Ford F-150 Raptor R. Now, we’re on the verge of another new Shelby Ford F-150 debut, too.

Recently, Shelby American teased that it was set to debut a new model tomorrow, Wednesday, October 9th, and now, it has followed that up by giving us a better sneak peek at what that model will be. It’s clearly a Ford F-150 of some sort, one riding high on big tires and sporting what appears to be a chase rack in the bed. This could signal the arrival of a new version of the Shelby Baja Raptor, as currently, that particular model is absent from the lineup.
Shelby previously hinted that this pickup will be supercharged as well, which likely signals that it’s V8-powered, too, given the fact that every other engine in the 2024 F-150 lineup is equipped with turbochargers from the factory. Whether or not it’s Shelby’s own version of the F-150 Raptor R or a Coyote-powered pickup with a blower attached remains to be seen, however.
Regardless, it’s worth noting that the recently-revealed 2024 Ford F-150 Shelby model already offers a supercharged version of the 5.0L V8 Coyote as an option, along with a Shelby by Fox 2.5 suspension system with internal bypass shocks, a three-inch BDS lift, performance rear traction bars, and 35-inch tires. Regardless, we won’t have to wait much longer to solve this particular mystery, at least.
