New year, new truck? Well, don’t expect to find a lot of changes to the Ford F-150 in 2026. We expect it to remain fairly similar to the recently overhauled 2025 version.
You’ll still get several powertrain options and good towing power. The shape and design will stay true to tradition, with perhaps some minor reforms to style and design. But it will continue to be one of the most versatile, hard working, and best-selling trucks on the market.
Key Takeaways
- We don’t expect there to be many changes, other than various upgrades, to the F-150 in 2026.
- The F-150 has a powertrain option to suit any needs, including gas-powered, hybrid, or electric only.
- You’ll get the same great payload and towing capacity as you did in 2025.
- There are many cab configurations to choose from and the controls and infotainment are intuitive and easy to use.
What’s new in 2026?
Because the F-150 recently had a major overhaul, we don’t expect many changes in 2026. LIkely there will just be some cosmetic changes, perhaps some tech upgrades, and possibly specialty trims or packages.
With so many powertrain options, the F-150 can be customized to fit most anyone’s needs.
If you want one of the best-selling trucks year after year, then look no further than the F-150. Part of its appeal is the versatility of configurations available. You can get your F-150 with a gas-powered, hybrid, or fully electric powertrain.
The 2026 F-150 is expected to have similar powertrains available. These engines include: a 2.7 L twin-turbo V6 with 325 hp, a 5.0 L naturally aspirated V8 with 400 hp, a 3.5 L twin-turbo V6 with 400 hp, a 3.5 L twin-turbo V6 in the Raptor trim with 450 hp, a 3.5 L twin-turbo hybrid with 430 hp, a 5.2 L supercharged V8 in the Raptor R with 700 hp, and a electric dual-motor with 452hp and 240 miles of driving range.
Your engine will be paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission and available all-wheel or rear-wheel drive.
Whether on the job site or heading to the cabin, the F-150 has the power to haul whatever you’ll need.
We expect that you’ll get the same great towing capability in 2026 as in 2025. The 77.4 cubic foot bed can handle a payload of up to 2,445 pounds. And you’ll have no problem loading with the optional split-opening, as well as the available power up-and-down feature and tailgate step. Get the Tow Package and you’ll be able to tow up to 13,500 pounds.
You’ll find the interior cabin to be convenient and up to date.
The F-150 will have multiple cab configurations for you to choose from, so you’ll be able to bring your family and friends on your adventures. The regular cab seats three on its bench seat. If you have a larger crew to transport, the SuperCab models will have a small rear door and a second-row bench. The SuperCrew models will be a larger cabin with full-size rear doors and seats.
The interior is not only sizable, but is also intuitive and easy to use. The large knobs and controllers can easily be maneuvered even while wearing gloves. The large windows make it easy to see outside, but if you want more visibility there is an optional surround-view camera system.
The standard infotainment system will likely be the same in the 2026 version. It has a horizontal 12.0 inch touch screen and comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other tech available includes a wireless charging pad, a 14-speaker stereo system, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a head-up display.
Summary
Though you may not find a lot of changes in the 2026 Ford F-150, you’ll find that it carries on its great legacy with many powertrain and cab configurations to fit your needs, as well as the power to get you where you need to go.
