2023 Ford Shelby F-250 Super Baja Offers Serious Tech, Fun And Work

Executives with Shelby American, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc. (CSBI:PK), officially unveiled the 2023 Shelby F-250 Super Baja, a truck built to make every mile, both work and fun, feel like an adventure. Combining Ford’s impressive 6.7-liter Power Stroke® turbo diesel with a Shelby tuned advanced off-road suspension system, the three-quarter ton pickup has off-road capabilities, advanced technology and superior handling with best-in-class towing. Only 300 of the limited-edition vehicles will be available through select dealers in the United States.

“The Ford Shelby F-250 Super Baja has been one of the most popular vehicles in the Shelby lineup since we introduced it in 2021,” said Gary Patterson, president of Shelby American. “Lessons learned through brutal testing both on and off road resulted in a dual-purpose vehicle that can conquer jobs requiring maximum towing capacity and then deliver serious off-road adventure. The 2023 Shelby F-250 Super Baja has the capabilities expected of a pickup wearing our legendary brand.”

The Shelby F-250 Super Baja is based on the world-class truck proudly assembled at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, and Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake. Every Super Duty features a Ford-designed and built 10-speed TorqShift® automatic transmission. The Ford Super Duty was the first pickup in the United States with embedded 5G Wi-Fi capability to deliver faster navigation, mapping and music downloads with higher quality.

The Shelby team carefully developed their version of the four-wheel drive vehicle. FOX Factory - Performance Vehicle Development team designed a new suspension system that increases the ride height, delivers more travel and improves off-road handling. The Shelby F-250 Super Baja wears 20-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 has a functional Air Induction Hood with extraction vent, powder coated steel front and rear bumpers, tow points, air flow vents and LED lighting. Features include a new front grille, painted fender flares, XL power steps with rock sliders and lights, bed liner, tinted windows and powder coated exhaust tips. Exterior Shelby stripes and badges round out the vehicle package.

“The Shelby F-250 Super Baja is a ’bad to the bone’ three quarter ton truck that fluidly moves over hard-core off-road terrain, tows up to 22,000 pounds and offers a smooth ride across the pavement,” said Vince LaViolette, Shelby American Vice President of Operations and Chief Designer. “We reviewed every key component on the fantastic Ford F-250 and then tuned the elements that our customers required. The new suspension is cutting edge, the power is prodigious, and the styling is pure Shelby. This is truly 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, digital gauges, custom carbon fiber accents, embroidered floor mats and billet racing pedals. Each comes with Shelby Super Baja badges and a CSM serialized plate inside.

The amazing Shelby super truck has an MSRP starting at $154,995, 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.

Only 300 of the refined heavy-duty trucks will be offered through select Tuscany and Ford dealers across the United States. Each will be documented in the official Shelby Registry. Individuals interested in a Shelby vehicle can visit their local dealer or go to shelby.com.
