Well there were the Cobras and the Mustangs, even a Lancer and an Omni, why not a Shelby pick up truck….and naturally it would be a Ford.
The Ford Rapture was a formidable 4 by 4 at it’s inception with gobs of horsepower and not a badly appointed interior.
But we expect more from a Shelby and you are going to get with this monster truck.
Yeah…It’s a Shelby
That’s what most other 4×4 are going to see…the back side
The NEW Shelby Raptor delivers a heart pounding, supercharged 575 hp (50 state emissions compliant), tuned with Shelby Stinger exhaust, complimented by a custom Shelby leather interior, all wrapped in Shelby graphics and styling, and finished with an exclusive Shelby Registry number and badges. Personalize your new Shelby Raptor from your choice of three Shelby graphics packages, or add wheels and tires, light bars, bumpers and roll bars, all from our ever growing Shelby options list.
There are several paint scheme:
I like this white version – reminds me of the Mustangs
Go GET ONE!!!!

Hi there, I enjoy reading through your post. I wanted to write a little comment to support you.|
This is actually Shelby’s second try at a truck. In the late 1980s you could get a Shelby Dakota with a 318 V8. I am sorry to say it was a terrible product. Two guys in my MOPAR club back then had purchased these trucks and they fell apart cosmetically within months. The cab to bed had a plastic wing piece that the sun damaged with days of taking ownership, the stickers peeled on the hood, an dthe additional flat black paint sprayed on the fascia and grill peeled away after a few car washes.
The 318 V8 was reliable, but at a smog choked 180hp the performane was nothing.
Truth be told, I bet Shelby INC today hopes no one rememebrs their first truck product.
