What You Should Expect for the F-150 in 2026
Ford isn’t reinventing the wheel for 2026. After a full redesign in 2021 and a facelift for 2024, the 2026 F-150 will likely roll into dealerships mostly unchanged. It expects the 2026 Ford F-150 price estimates by trim to start at around $45,000, while fully loaded trims and electric versions could push well past $75,000.
Ford’s strategy of offering multiple engines seems to be sticking around for 2026. All mate with a ten-speed automatic and your choice of rear- or four-wheel drive. Here’s how they break down in power and mileage:
- 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6: 325 hp, 400 lb-ft, 18–19 mpg city/23–25 mpg highway
- 5.0-liter V8: 400 hp, 410 lb-ft, 16 mpg city/24 mpg highway
- 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6: 400 hp, 500 lb-ft, 16–17 mpg city/24–25 mpg highway
- 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 (Raptor): 450 hp, 510 lb-ft, 14 mpg city/18 mpg highway
- 3.5-liter twin-turbo hybrid V6: 430 hp, 570 lb-ft – 22 mpg city/24 mpg highway
- 5.2-liter supercharged V8 (Raptor R): 700 hp, 640 lb-ft – 10 mpg city/15 mpg highway
2026 F-150 Towing and Payload Capacity
Expect towing and hauling numbers to match 2025's lineup. For towing, the top dog is the SuperCrew model with a 3.5-liter V6, four-wheel drive, 6.5-foot bed, and 13,500-pound capacity.
For payload, the best setup is a Regular Cab with rear-wheel drive, a 3.5-liter V6, and an 8-foot bed. It gives you a 2,445-pound payload rating.
F-150 Tech Features That Should Carry Over
Ford dialed in the tech across all trims last year. Pickups come with a standard 12-inch digital instrument cluster that shows things like towing info and off-road stats side-by-side. It pairs with a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
There's also over-the-air update capability, so your truck can stay current without a visit to the dealer. Expect other perks like a wireless charging pad, a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio setup, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a head-up display on higher trims.
2026 F-150 Trim Levels
Ford won't mess with the trim lineup much, if at all. That means you’ll still have nine trims to choose from—the XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Tremor, Raptor, and Raptor R. Price estimates for trims are $45,000 to $75,000 or more.
When Can You Expect to See the 2026 Ford F-150?
The 2026 Ford F-150 won’t be a dramatic update, but that's ok! It already does just about everything you need, whether you’re towing, hauling, off-roading, or just daily driving. Expect it to arrive later this year or in 2026. And stay in touch with Banner Ford of Monroe for more information on its arrival!
