If you thought the F-150 couldn’t get any wilder, think again. The 2026 Ford F-150 is here, and it’s not just a refresh, it’s a full-on revolution. Bigger power, smarter tech, and yes, even greener options that still feel like pure American muscle. Here’s everything you need to know before this beast hits the lots.
Insane Power Under the Hood
The base 3.5L EcoBoost V6 is gone. In its place? A new twin-turbo 3.0L V6 pumping out 450 horsepower and 550 lb-ft of torque. That’s supercar territory in a pickup.
Want more? The 5.0L Coyote V8 is back, now making 500 horsepower thanks to a bigger supercharger option. And for the drag-strip crowd, the Raptor R keeps its supercharged 5.2L V8 but jumps to 800 horsepower. Yes, you read that right 800.
Hybrid That Actually Hauls
Ford didn’t kill the PowerBoost hybrid they made it meaner. The 2026 PowerBoost now delivers 570 horsepower and 800 lb-ft of instant electric torque. It’ll tow 14,000 pounds while sipping less fuel than last year’s V8. Plus, the onboard generator now cranks out 9.6 kW enough to run your whole job site or tailgate party.
Tech That Blows Your Mind
The old 12-inch screen? Cute. The 2026 F-150 rocks a 21-inch panoramic touchscreen that runs the new Ford UltraSync 5 system. It’s faster than your phone, supports over-the-air updates, and even lets you play Xbox games while charging (yes, really).
BlueCruise 4.0 is standard on Lariat and up. It’s hands-free on 500,000 miles of highways and now handles lane changes, speed adjustments, and even dirt roads on trailering routes. There’s also a 360-degree camera that shows under the truck perfect for spotting rocks off-road.
Looks That Turn Heads
The redesign is bold. Sharper LED headlights, a massive grille, and hidden door handles give it a sleek, almost cyber-truck vibe. But don’t worry it still screams F-150. New 33-inch all-terrain tires come standard on XLT and up, and the Tremor gets glowing amber markers like the Super Duty.
Greener Muscle Done Right
Ford knows not everyone wants electric. So they kept gas and hybrid strong while adding a plug-in hybrid option with 50 miles of electric range. Charge it overnight, drive on electrons all week, then unleash V6 fury when you need it. No range anxiety, no compromises.
Pricing
Expect the base XL to start around $42,000 not bad for what you’re getting. Loaded Platinum and Raptor R? North of $90K. First trucks hit dealers spring 2026, with special Lightning Storm Edition models coming summer.
