Move over Rumble Bee and Roush Ram. Ford’s Lobo might not have delivered the street truck you wanted, but Shelby is here to give F-150 buyers an option that will run circles around all of them. It’s the 2026 edition of the F-150 Super Snake, and it’s not the single-cab Shelby promised. But it does offer some notable upgrades from the previous hopped-up Shelby truck – including more power.
Super Snake Is An F-150 That Blows

Shelby starts the Super Snake party with a Lariat-trim SuperCrew F-150 carrying Ford’s 5.0-liter Coyote V8 under the hood. You can stick with that engine and make all the cosmetic and suspension changes you want, or you can do the smart expensive thing and get the optional supercharger.
The Stage 2 supercharger gives you a powder coated blue blower and intake manifold. It also gives you an aluminum heat exchanger, but most importantly, it gives you more than 810 horsepower. That’s a big increase over last year’s 785 ponies.
Shelby needed that extra power because Ram’s 1500 SRT Rumble Bee arrived with 777 hp from its own supercharged V8 engine. While the non-supercharged Super Snake is more in line with the standard 5.7-liter Ram Rumble Bee and the recently revealed Roush Ram range, the Super Snake gives you bragging rights. It also gives you a three-year warranty.
The Super Snake is dropped using coilover shocks from King Racing. It doesn’t say how low the truck is, but they’re adjustable so you can pick that figure within reason. Traction bars at the back help keep the rear axle planted when you’re giving those horses the crop from a launch.
Shelby truly goes wild with cosmetics and wheels. It rolls on 22-inch Shelby alloys in black or chrome, with red Shelby-branded brake calipers behind them. A new front bumper with lower splitter, new lights, new rocker panels, and a ground effects kit all help transform the truck and make it look lower than it is.
Logos And Lettering Inside And Out

You get logos everywhere, stripes over the top, and even a bed carpet with Shelby lettering. If the company can find somewhere to put its name, rest assured it will be there. That applies inside, too, where the changes start with Shelby-design top grain leather seat covers instead of the standard Lariat look. Shelby floor mats and a Shelby serial number plaque make sure it looks official, and there’s another plaque under the hood. Shelby digital gauges, carbon fiber trim, and billet pedals complete the effect.
“The Shelby F-150 Super Snake pickup is for those who crave astonishing acceleration with the utility of a truck,” said Shelby American CEO Joe Conway. There might not be that many people craving it, because Shelby will only build 400 copies. The truck starts from $140,795, including the supercharger, though it has to be purchased separately in some states for emissions reasons.
Sport trucks are very hot right now. Ram and Ford have launched their own, and GM is sure to follow, but the Super Snake has been around for years to show the OEMs what is possible. With 810 hp and handling better than any off-road truck, it means business.
