Shelby has a brand new tremendous truck, and it’s based mostly on the Tremendous Responsibility. The truck beginning life as a Ford F-250 Tremendous Responsibility isn’t what makes it tremendous, although. No, this Shelby F-250 Tremendous Baja will get its identify from being an outright monster off-road.
It’s only one extra off-road-focused Ford truck in a recent sea of others. There’s the usual F-150 Raptor, the incoming Raptor R, a Tremendous Responsibility Tremor and the Shelby Raptor to select from. That’s the checklist if we restrict our selections to only the Ford manufacturing facility and Shelby American — Shelby itself is closely counting on truck gross sales as of late, much more so than the Mustang. The F-250 Tremendous Baja is the truck for any person who needs Baja desert-running capabilities and Tremendous Responsibility towing energy — hell of a distinct segment. However hey, the 2021 F-150 Raptor can solely tow 8,200 kilos. This Tremendous Responsibility can haul as much as 20,000 kilos, which is a minimum of what it could actually do from the manufacturing facility on this configuration.
That huge tow score comes due to Ford’s PowerStroke 6.7-liter turbo-diesel V8 engine that produces 475 horsepower and 1,050 pound-feet of torque. It stays inventory and retains the Ford manufacturing facility guarantee. Nevertheless, the suspension is wholly completely different from what you’ll discover below a daily F-250.
Shelby provides customized entrance radius arms and twin steering stabilizer, a BDS Suspension carry package, Fox Racing shocks with reservoirs back and front, 18-inch wheels and 37-inch BFGoodrich KM3 tires. The physique is modified to swimsuit the Shelby’s look druthers, but additionally to assist in off-road driving. It will get powder coated entrance and rear metal bumpers, fender flares, extra tow factors, steps with rock sliders and lights and a purposeful ram air hood. The checklist goes on with a bed-mounted dual-tire rack (for 2 spares), mattress liner, Shelby stripes/badges, tinted home windows, extra LED lighting all through the truck and a painted entrance grille with what is likely to be the tackiest “Ford” brand remedy we’ve ever seen. It appears like the brand was wrapped with a black physique wrap, and it doesn’t look good.
The inside provides new leather-based seat covers, Shelby accents and embroidery, stainless-steel gauges, carbon fiber accents throughout, Shelby flooring mats, steel racing pedals, and a serialized plate on the sprint.
There’ll solely be 250 of those Tremendous Baja pickups for the 2021 mannequin yr, and so they have a beginning worth of $125,805. That features the truck itself within the worth. You’ll have the ability to choose one up at choose sellers throughout the nation.
