Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake: What Engine And Horsepower Does It Have?

The Ford F-Series pickup earns the distinction of being one of two Ford production models that are eligible to receive the Super Snake mods from Shelby. Although history dictates the Super Snake badge was for the top-dog Mustang GT500 only, the Mustang GT and its naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Coyote V8 became the default choice to receive the Super Snake package in 2015.

Only the Mustang and F-150 are available for the Super Snake conversion by Shelby American Inc. The 2025 Shelby F-150 Super Snake starts with a standard F-150 Lariat 4x4 SuperCrew with a 5.0-liter Coyote V8. The standard output is 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. But if you're forking over an additional $62,000 for the Shelby F-150 Super Snake Package (on top of the $77,000 for the base truck), you might as well spend extra for the optional supercharger system to boost the power output to 785 horsepower (using 93 octane gas).

The F-150 Super Snake is not as potent as the 830-horsepower Shelby Mustang Super Snake, but 785 horsepower is enough to make it one of the most powerful Shelby cars in history. Helping the cause are proven Shelby performance mods, like an open-air intake with a carbon intake tube, an aluminum heat exchanger, racing fuel injectors, a billet throttle body, and a Shelby by Borla cat-back exhaust system (with black exhaust tips) to produce that trademark, barrel-chested soundtrack.

Most of the Super Snake persona is about race-ready styling and performance. You won't have to worry about looks or street cred if rolling in a Shelby F-150 Super Snake. It has a Shelby by Ridetech suspension system, including Fox 2.5 adjustable coilover dampers with internal bypass technology and updated upper control arms in the front. Meanwhile, the rear has Fox adjustable shock absorbers and new track bars to keep the truck planted as you unleash 785 horses on the tarmac.

The styling upgrades include 22-inch Shelby alloy wheels wrapped in performance tires, a Shelby dual intake hood with vents and extractors, power running boards with entry lights and rock guards, body-color fender flares, a custom upper grille, a new front bumper, a body-color tonneau cover, and those iconic Shelby body stripes.

The Super Snake package extends to the F-150's cabin. The add-ons include deep tinted windows (state dependent), embroidered floor mats, billet racing pedals, carbon fiber interior trim, and a serialized console plaque. Pricing for the Shelby F-150 Super Snake starts at around $139,000.
