The Ford F-Series has a rhythm and reputation that keeps it at the top . Year after year, this truck delivers what buyers are looking for. The F-150, deep into its 14th generation, continues to offer a wide range of choices. Here’s how the 2026 F-150 compares to the current model!
Key Takeaways
- The 2026 Ford F-150 heads to showrooms in late 2025 or early 2026.
- It is mostly unchanged from its 2025 predecessor.
- The F-150s multiple, powerful engine choices are available across trims.
- Expect trim prices to be from $45,000 to $75,000 as of June 2025.
What Changes Are in Store for the Ford F-150 for 2026?
Ford gave the F-150 a massive glow-up in 2021, followed by a 2024 update, so don’t expect sweeping changes for 2026. The pickup should carry forward mostly as-is, with prices from about $45,000 for base models to $75,000 for fully equipped or electric models. You’ll still have nine trims to choose from: XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Tremor, Raptor, and Raptor R.
The familiar lineup of engines that you've come to know and love in the F-150 will likely remain the same. Every option pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission and is available with rear- or four-wheel drive. Here’s how they break down:
- A 2.7L Twin-Turbo V6 packs in 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque while managing an estimated 18–19 mpg in the city and 23–25 mpg on the highway.
- A 5.0L V8 delivers a solid 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, with fuel economy sitting around 16 mpg city and 24 mpg highway.
- A 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 generates 400 horsepower and 500 lb-ft, returning 16–17 mpg in town and up to 25 mpg on the highway.
- A 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 for the Raptor cranks out 450 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque, but expect fuel economy to drop to around 14 city and 18 highway.
- A 3.5L Hybrid V6 pushes out 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft with 22 mpg city and 24 mpg highway.
- A 5.2L Supercharged V8 for the Raptor R generates a whopping 700 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque with 10 mpg city and 15 mpg highway.
F-150 Towing and Payload Performance
Towing and hauling capabilities will probably remain the same. The SuperCrew, equipped with a 3.5L V6, four-wheel drive, and a 6.5-foot bed, offers the top towing capacity for the line at 13,500 pounds. An F-150 with a Regular Cab, rear-wheel drive, and an 8-foot bed delivers a 2,445-pound payload.
F-150 Tech You Can Count On
Ford refined the in-cabin experience last year, and those features will most certainly stay the same. A 12-inch digital instrument panel is standard, displaying off-road and towing stats. It works alongside a 12-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Other features include over-the-air updates, a wireless charging pad, a Bang & Olufsen 14-speaker audio system, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a head-up display on select trims.
When Should You Expect to See the 2026 Ford F-150?
The F-150 will likely land in dealerships near the end of 2025 or the start of 2026. And while it’s not a dramatic refresh, that’s a plus for many buyers.
