Earlier this month, Ford revealed the Dark Horse SC as the spiritual successor to the S550 Shelby GT500 in everything but name. Meanwhile, Shelby American has been trying to steal the Blue Oval’s limelight with the Super Snake, the GT350, and most recently, the GT350/TA, and it’s not done yet. The company showcased all three of these Mustang-based marvels at Barrett-Jackson this month, but it also provided a real-life teaser of yet another monster, the F-150 Super Snake Sport, and it’s coming soon; Shelby teasers are usually followed by the finished product very quickly. The upcoming super truck was under a white cover with blue Cobra stripes, and the company’s website now shows the silhouette of a single-cab pickup under a tarpaulin with a reversed color scheme.
What We Know About the 2026 F-150 Super Snake
Shelby’s recent Facebook post about the pickup doesn’t reveal what the F-150 Super Snake Sport will be made up of, but we can look to the past for clues. The 2025 F-150 Super Snake was a double-cab pickup with up to 785 horsepower from a supercharged V8, which breathed through a pair of nostrils on the hood. This new teaser depicts a regular-cab pickup, which Ford only sells in simplified XL trim as a no-frills work truck, but its basic starting point is no problem for Shelby, which typically reupholsters the interior and redesigns the bodywork. Upgrading performance is no issue either, since the F-150 XL is available with the same 5.0-liter Coyote V8 that Shelby loves to slap a Whipple supercharger on.

Considering that Shelby’s recent Mustang creations have been capable of up to 830 hp, this new F-150 Super Snake Sport could have more power than a Mustang GTD. Bigger wheels, more aggressive bodywork, a more lavish interior, and a rorty exhaust go without saying, but Shelby’s page for the truck has a curious detail, with the draped silhouette exhibiting a bulge behind the door. What this signifies is anyone’s guess, but we needn’t speculate much longer.
Expect Shelby’s Angriest Truck to Debut Imminently
It’s unlikely that Shelby will launch its fourth vehicle this month (tomorrow is the last day), but it will almost certainly arrive before the end of February. Don’t expect the F-150 Super Snake Sport’s humble beginnings to mean a low price, though. While the F-150 XL Regular Cab starts at $39,330 in 4×2 form, Shelby’s paint, bodywork, and interior enhancements will undoubtedly push the truck into six-figure territory. Meanwhile, the F-150 Lobo street truck, based on the STX, is priced around $60,000 before options, but it leaves the Coyote V8 untouched. With Shelby likely to double its output, the price will undoubtedly jump just as much.
