The Ford RAPTOR off-road special is the biggest hit among shoppers since the F-150 Lightning of the 1990s.
Performance street trucks like the Ram SRT10, Silverado SS and GMC Cyclone appear to be taking a backseat to baja-ready machines like the Tundra TRD Pro and the stock Raptor.
But with the huge popularity of the Ford dune-blaster comes a bit less excitement and exclusivity for owners.
Enter, Shelby American.
You can equip and buy a custom Shelby Raptor as new or retro-fit these cool parts to an existing truck. Highlights in the full $17,000 Shelby upgrade are the Whipple supercharger that adds more than 200-horsepower. This would be a really cool way to transform your Raptor into a true beast.
But perhaps even more surprising? How great the traditional Sheby racing colors and stripes look on the big truck. Blue/white or White/blue are really, really hot.
Second surprising thing in the Shelby Raptor builder? The 20-item options list. We love the front bumper options – a functional change as well as a cool style statement.
