A New Supercharged F-150 Will Battle Ram Rumble Bee, But Ford Isn’t Building It

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.
