The 2026 Lineup: Trims for Every Driver
The F-150’s long-running appeal is intricately tied to its diverse trim family, which guarantees there’s an F-150 for every driver. Whether you’re drawn to a budget-savvy workhorse like the F-150 XL, a luxurious chariot like the F-150 Platinum, or an adventurer like the F-150 Tremor, finding the perfect configuration to answer your needs and complement your life is not only straightforward but exciting and rewarding.
The Gateway Trio: Meet the XL, STX, and XLT
The 2026 F-150 lineup starts with three value-packed trims that offer a progressive lineup of features. The F-150 XL sets an impressive benchmark, rolling off Ford’s production line with a 2.7L V6 EcoBoost engine under its hood, an expansive 12-inch SYNC 4 infotainment touchscreen, the Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology suite, and a Class IV trailer hitch that guarantees it’s ready to work.
The 2026 F-150 STX builds on that packaging by adding more amenities and available upgrades. It features unique cloth seats, a two-tone grille in black and dark gray, and the option to add a 12-inch digital cluster, along with the ability to customize the trim with the available F-150 Lobo or STX FX4 packages.
The 2026 F-150 XLT entices drivers with its zone lighting, LED fog lamps, and optional Chrome Appearance or Black Appearance Packages. Most notably, it offers a wider catalog of available upgrades, including the Mobile Office Package, heated front seats, a flow-through center console, BlueCruise, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist.
The Luxe Trims: Meet the Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum
Luxury is abundant in the F-150’s 2026 lineup, starting with the Lariat and progressing to the King Ranch and Platinum. The F-150 Lariat has upgraded LED Projector Dynamic Bending Headlamps, LED taillamps, and a remote tailgate release. Inside, heated and ventilated ActiveX-trimmed seats offer all-season comfort, making it easier to enjoy cutting-edge features like BlueCruise and Ford’s trailering tools.
The F-150 King Ranch raises the bar, aptly setting the stage for the opulent Platinum. Instantly recognizable by its trim-exclusive exterior details, the 2026 F-150 King Ranch has leather bucket seats, a premium sound system, and genuine wood interior trim accents, all of which are stunning with the available twin-panel moonroof.
The 2026 F-150 Platinum proves a full-size truck can be a luxurious chariot in every way imaginable. Its unique hood features gloss black inserts, and its leather-trimmed interior exudes opulence, especially with the addition of rear heated seats.
The Performance-Tuned Road Warriors: Meet the Tremor and Raptor
Drivers looking for a high-performance F-150 know to turn to the Tremor or Raptor in the 2026 lineup. The names carry significant weight under the Blue Oval marque, and rightly so.
The 2026 F-150 Tremor is a rugged adventurer, thanks to a high-output engine, selectable drive modes, and advanced trail technologies like Trail Control with Trail 1-Pedal Drive and Trail Turn Assist. Its increased ride height and all-terrain tires give it an aggressive stance, while its interior is readily configurable with upfitter switches.
The 2026 F-150 Raptor promises plenty of excitement, enticing drivers with its available supercharged V8 engine, 37-inch all-terrain tires, and Dual-Valve Fox Racing Shocks. As a four-wheel drive powerhouse, the F-150 Raptor has heavy-duty skid plates and an expertly engineered interior that can withstand life’s greatest adventures on and off the pavement.
The F-150 Heartbeat: Performance and Capability
At the heart of the 2026 F-150 is an array of powerful engines and drivetrain options built to deliver the strength and performance modern drivers demand. From efficient V6 options to V8, hybrid, and high-output configurations, the 2026 F-150 offers the perfect setup for your needs–whether that’s towing a trailer across the state or cruising through town.
Powertrains for Every Driver
The 2026 F-150’s powertrain lineup starts with Ford’s proven 2.7L EcoBoost, a turbocharged V6 that makes 325 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. The engine sets an impressive baseline, immediately proving the F-150’s work ethic with an 8,400-pound towing capacity and a 1,775-pound payload.
Moving up to the turbocharged 3.5L EcoBoost V6 puts even more power at your feet. The engine makes 382 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque, helping the F-150 achieve its highest towing and payload capacities of 13,500 pounds and 2,440 pounds. The high-output version of the 3.5L V6 makes its way to the Raptor, producing 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque.
Ford’s 5.0L Coyote V8 is another excellent option that delivers dependable performance, capability, and efficiency. Like the other engines, the Coyote V8 works with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission and makes 400 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque. It can tow up to 12,900 pounds and support a 2,235-pound payload, making it the second-most capable in the lineup.
The F-150’s engine family culminates with the Raptor R’s supercharged high-output Carnivore 5.2L and the more accessible PowerBoost HEV. Ford’s 3.5L PowerBoost turbocharged V6 exceeds every expectation of hybrid performance, making 420 hp and 578 lb-ft of near-instant torque. It’s responsive, efficient, and plenty capable, with a towing capacity of 12,300 pounds and a payload of 2,045 pounds.
Features That Work as Hard as You
The 2026 F-150 has impressive towing and payload capacities, but its brute strength truly shines in the features that make your job easier. Ford accomplishes this with the F-150’s suite of advanced trailering tools, which includes Smart Trailer Tow Connector, Dynamic Hitch Assist, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist.
Pro Trailer Backup Assist and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist lessen the learning curve of towing heavy loads. Hitching becomes a one-person job that keeps you in the driver’s seat as the feature aligns the truck with the trailer. Pro Trailer Backup Assist takes that same approach when navigating in reverse, letting you turn a knob to direct the trailer where you need it.
Beyond these intuitive features, the 2026 F-150’s work ethic shines in its functional design elements. The Pro Access Tailgate transforms how you access and use the bed, opening like a standard tailgate or as a swinging door to keep the bed accessible even with a trailer connected. Pro Power Onboard manages the unthinkable, serving as a mobile generator that provides power wherever the road or trail takes you.
The F-150 Cabin Experience: Comfortable and Tech-Savvy
The 2026 F-150 blends rugged utility with refined comfort, making it a place you’ll enjoy whether you’re heading to a jobsite, running errands, or grabbing coffee downtown. Ford accomplishes this with the F-150’s various cab configurations and bed lengths, giving drivers a choice between a Regular Cab, SuperCab, and SuperCrew with a 5.5-foot, 6.5-foot, or eight-foot bed. From there, the F-150’s cabins exude comfort and versatility in a way that only Ford manages.
Cabin Design: Premium Comfort for Work and Play
The F-150’s cabin is thoughtfully designed to maximize every inch of space, from the plush seating to the lockable storage and flip-and-fold seats that make the truck readily adaptable to your needs. These functional elements extend to available upgrades, such as the interior Work Surface, which transforms the center console into a workstation where you can work on your laptop, read important documents, or have lunch.
Ford complements the F-150’s versatility with its keen attention to detail, ensuring each trim is distinctly styled. The XL, STX, and XLT have plush cloth seats, with the STX and XLT adding color-coordinated floor mats to replace the XL’s black vinyl floor covering. Climbing the lineup to the Lariat and subsequent trims adds more luxuries, like heated and ventilated ActiveX-trimmed seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control, leather trimming on the front seats, genuine wood accents, and rear heated seats.
Technologies: Stay Connected and Informed
Technology plays a prominent role in the F-150’s packaging, which is fitting for a modern marvel. Ford sets a high benchmark for 2026 by making its 12-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen standard on every trim, guaranteeing seamless smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, enhanced voice recognition, and various in-vehicle apps. Top-tier trims take this digital experience even further with a premium Bang & Olufsen sound system, which delivers an immersive listening experience throughout the cabin.
Beyond connectivity and entertainment, the 2026 F-150 has features designed to keep you informed and instill confidence. Mid and top-tier trims feature a 12-inch digital cluster and an optional head-up display that provides real-time driving data. These insights also include driver-assist alerts from Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology and BlueCruise feedback on equipped models.
Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology instills confidence and helps you maintain control by equipping the F-150 with various safety features. The suite includes Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Intersection Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go and Lane Centering, and a Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Tow Coverage. The tools provide comprehensive coverage, enhancing your situational awareness and reducing the risk of collisions.
