Shelby American announced a new offering based on Ford's F-250 Super Duty on Wednesday. Dubbed the F-250 Super Baja, it combines the immense torque from the company's 6.7-liter Powerstroke turbo-diesel V-8 with a custom Fox Racing suspension, fender flares, and massive 37-inch all-terrain tires.

The Super Baja was the result of customer demand for a bigger truck that could perform Raptor-like feats with F-150 Super Snake speed while being able to tow, according to Shelby. “The astounding capabilities of the Ford Shelby F-150 truck led to requests for a three-quarter-ton truck that delivered maximum towing capacity and serious off-road capabilities,” Shelby American president Gary Patterson said in a statement. “We leveraged expertise gained from our Shelby Raptor and Shelby F-150 programs to create the Shelby F-250 Super Baja pickup.”
