There’s a major addition to the F-150 lineup for 2026: the Lobo Package. Add it to the F-150 STX for instant low-rider style and sporty performance upgrades.

Is the 2026 Ford F-150 good for daily driving?
Absolutely. Ford’s full-size, light-duty truck is up to any test that your job, the weather, and your weekend adventures can throw at it. And that includes everyday comfort! If you’ve got a long commute to Tampa, you’ll love the F-150’s roomy cabin options, which offer everything from increasing interior space to high-end luxury.
On the more affordable end of the trim ladder, you’ll find the XL, STX, and XLT models. With their spacious, supportive seats, these F-150 trucks treat you (and your whole crew!) to a comfy cruise across the coast. With the most cabin options (regular, extended SuperCab, and SuperCrew), the XL appeals to drivers who want to build the perfect (or most affordable) work truck. The STX and XLT let you choose between the SuperCab and SuperCrew. Both cabs offer two rows of comfy seating, but the SuperCrew gives your friends and coworkers a little extra rear-seat space.
And these trucks are more than merely comfortable. Wherever you go, every F-150 keeps you connected to the world at large via the cutting-edge SYNC 4 infotainment system, 12-inch central touchscreen, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Better still, every 2026 F-150 now comes with a one-year trial of the Ford Connectivity Package, which includes the Wi-Fi data you need to use built-in, Google-based navigation and so much more!
The more luxurious trim models (Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum) are only available with the SuperCrew cab, which means there’s more than enough room for five passengers. Not to mention these trucks’ available upgrades include leather seating, premium audio, and exclusive styling!
What are the 2026 Ford F-150 engine options?
If you’re an F-150 aficionado, the 2026 powertrain lineup will look very familiar. Not much has changed since 2024, when the 2.7-liter turbo V6 replaced the old base V6, making the standard truck both more powerful (325 horsepower) and more efficient (earning up to 21 mpg combined (19 city/25 highway)).
For Florida drivers shopping for best-in-class towing and hauling capabilities, there’s the 3.6-liter EcoBoost V6! Properly equipped, an F-150 with this engine can tow up to 13,500 pounds or haul max payloads of 2,440 pounds. Should you prefer a classic V8 workhorse, there’s always the 5.0-liter V8 engine. Depending on body style and equipment, a V8-powered F-150 can tow up to 12,900 pounds and haul max loads of 2,225 pounds!
America’s bestselling truck even offers options for Florida drivers who crave high-speed off-road performance. You can zoom down muddy backroads and sandy dunes in the F-150 Raptor (450 hp) or Raptor R (720 hp), both of which deliver exclusive powertrain upgrades designed to take performance to incredible heights.
