Shelby Baja Raptor worth it?

You could buy 3 Gen 1s for that kind of money.

He has an ‘18. He’s looking to upgrade, not downgrade.

Not worth it IMO. Those trucks aren’t even built by Shelby, they’re upfitted by Tuscany in Indiana. You’re basically paying $50k for Shelby badging, a tune, 37” tires, and a hack BDS suspension lift. And on top of all that, any powertrain failure (engine, trans, axles, etc) is only warrantied for 3yr/36k through Shelby due to the modifications. Not to mention the depreciation hit due to it being an aftermarket package.

Do they really put a drop bracket lift on the Shelby Raptors? At least Roush used to just add wheels and upgraded 3.0's but BDS?!?! SMH

Is it just a collection of bolt on parts that Shelby threw together

That’s what their website shows at least. Doesn’t get much more hack than that!

The only part of the Shelby Raptor I like is the front bumper. Anyone know what brand it is?

Here's my opinion. The owner of my company has one and its crap makes all types of sounds. The dealers cant even work on it because of the custom tune, every time they plug the cpu its a 1980s truck. The trans shift so hard and when you drive in sports mode feel like your back is cracking. Its all bolt on. The brakes that I thought where Brembo are just shields that are screwed into the calipers. Save your money

No.
