The 2026 Ford F-150 XLT is a crew cab pickup truck that blends proven V8 power with a modern suite of technology and comfort features.

This truck suits buyers who need a dependable workhorse that transitions easily between job site duties and family needs. The crew cab design provides ample space for up to five passengers, while features such as dual-zone air conditioning and a split folding rear seat add comfort and adaptability.

Under the hood, the 5.0L V8 engine is paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission, delivering smooth and responsive power ideal for towing, hauling, or highway cruising. The 10-speed automatic shifts efficiently, optimizing power delivery and fuel efficiency with EPA estimates of 17 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway.

The inclusion of dual front impact airbags, side impact airbags, overhead airbags, and a 911 Assist emergency communication system offers comprehensive occupant protection. Auto high-beam headlights and ABS brakes further enhance visibility and control in low-light or emergency situations, contributing to peace of mind behind the wheel.

The XLT trim, equipped with Equipment Group 301A Standard, brings a thoughtful mix of technology and convenience. SYNC 4 provides intuitive infotainment and connectivity, while steering wheel-mounted audio controls, remote keyless entry, and a trip computer make daily operations seamless. Additional features like a rear window defroster, heated door mirrors, and a rear step bumper add both comfort and utility. SiriusXM with 360L and a 7-speaker audio system ensure a connected, enjoyable ride for all passengers.
