2026 Ford F-150

Some trucks are built around a giant option list. This one is built around the things an F-150 owner is most likely to use. Start with distance. This new 2026 Ford F-150 STX SuperCrew in Carbonized Gray Metallic carries the 36-gallon extended-range fuel tank, a feature that becomes more valuable every time the workday stretches farther across Tampa Bay or the weekend heads beyond Wesley Chapel. Ford pairs it with the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 and electronic 10-speed automatic, delivering turbocharged power with EPA estimates of 19 MPG city, 25 MPG highway and 21 MPG combined. For a full-size pickup moving between New Tampa, Lutz, Land O Lakes and Tampa, that is a useful combination of capability and everyday efficiency. Now add traction where a rear-wheel-drive truck can actually use it. The 3.73 electronic-locking rear axle can help both rear wheels work together when the surface becomes loose, wet or uneven. It is a smart piece of hardware for boat ramps, grass, gravel, job sites and Florida weather without carrying four-wheel-drive hardware everywhere the truck goes. A fully boxed steel frame and 6,426-pound GVWR Package provide the structure underneath, while selectable drive modes let the F-150 adjust its responses as conditions change. The bed and hitch are already prepared for the next job. A Class IV trailer hitch with Smart Trailer Tow Connector gives this STX a factory starting point for compatible boats, utility trailers and recreational equipment, with Trailer Sway Control adding support once the trailer is moving. Pickup-box tie-down hooks help secure cargo when the work stays in the bed, and the power tailgate lock helps protect access to what is left behind. Whether the day involves home projects in Odessa, equipment in Zephyrhills or a weekend near the Gulf, the truck does not need to be reimagined first. Inside, Ford keeps the STX formula clean. Black STX cloth seating uses a 40/console/40 front layout with a flow-through center console, while the SuperCrew cab provides the passenger room that makes this F-150 practical beyond work duty. SYNC 4 places a 12-inch touchscreen at the center of the dash, and the included one-year connectivity package supports compatible Ford app features. Parks Plus helps protect the cabin with fabric protection, cabin sanitizer and antimicrobial treatment before daily use starts leaving its mark. Carbonized Gray Metallic works especially well with the STX appearance: 20-inch Dark Gray aluminum wheels, a black-and-dark-gray grille, LED reflector headlights and LED fog lamps give the truck a tougher look without overdoing it. Parks Plus adds paint protection, rain repellent and headlight protection to help care for that finish through Tampa sun, highway miles and afternoon storms. The driver-assistance equipment is focused on the places a full-size truck can feel largest. BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert helps watch areas beside and behind the F-150, while rear parking sensors and a rearview camera help in t
