The Ford F-Series just keeps proving why it’s the best-selling truck line in the country. It delivers reliability, power, and options that fit just about every type of driver. Now in its 14th generation, the F-150 continues to be a solid pick. So, what’s new in the 2026 Ford F-150 terms of changes and upgrades? Find out below!
Key Takeaways
- The 2026 Ford F-150 launches in late 2025 or early 2026.
- We anticipate no major changes for this new model year.
- We expect trims to be somewhere between $45,000 and $75,000.
What's in Store for the 2026 F-150?
Ford isn’t overhauling the truck for 2026—and that’s intentional. After a full redesign in 2021 and a fresh update in 2024, the F-150 will roll into 2026, mostly unchanged. Trim-level pricing should kick off around $45,000, with fully loaded or electric versions pushing $75,000 or more.
The trim lineup should also remain the same for 2026. That means you’ll still get to choose from nine options: XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Tremor, Raptor, and Raptor R. Prices will vary from around $45,000 at the base to $75,000 or more for higher-end or electric trims.
Ford seems happy with its current engine lineup, and for good reason—it gives drivers a lot of choice. All the engines below mate with a 10-speed automatic transmission and either rear- or four-wheel drive. Here's what you can expect in terms of output and fuel economy:
- 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6: 325 horsepower, 400 lb-ft of torque, 18–19 mpg city/23–25 mpg highway
- 5.0-liter V8: 400 horsepower, 410 lb-ft, 16 mpg city/24 mpg highway
- 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6: 400 horsepower, 500 lb-ft, 16–17 mpg city/24–25 mpg highway
- 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 (Raptor): 450 horsepower, 510 lb-ft, 14 mpg city/18 mpg highway
- 3.5-liter hybrid V6: 430 horsepower, 570 lb-ft, 22 mpg city/24 mpg highway
- 5.2-liter supercharged V8 (Raptor R): 700 horsepower, 640 lb-ft, 10 mpg city/15 mpg highway
Where Does the F-150 Stand on Towing?
The 2026 model will likely have the same towing and hauling specs it did for the 2025 model year. The best setup for the max in towing (13,500 pounds) is the SuperCrew with the 3.5-liter V6, four-wheel drive, and a 6.5-foot bed. That combo can tow up to 13,500 pounds.
For the most payload (2,445 pounds), you'll need a Regular Cab with rear-wheel drive, the 3.5-liter V6, and an 8-foot bed.
F-150 Tech That’s Expected to Stick Around
Ford gave the F-150 a solid tech upgrade for the 2024 refresh, and those features should carry over to 2026. Every trim should continue to offer a standard 12-inch digital instrument cluster, which gives you side-by-side views of key data like towing stats and off-road details.
You’ll also get a 12-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher trims will continue to offer great extras like a wireless charging pad, a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a head-up display. Over-the-air update capability will also remain part of the picture.
