New Paint Colors for 2026

The 2026 Ford F-150 introduces three new exterior colors: Avalanche, Argon Blue, and Ruby Red. Atlas Blue, Rapid Red, and Space White have been discontinued for the new model year. The F-150 remains available in 26 trims across three cab configurations, with pricing ranging from approximately $52,690 to $110,625 in Canadian markets.

BlueCruise Now Available as One-Time Purchase

Ford now allows customers to purchase BlueCruise as a one-time option rather than a monthly subscription. This change gives buyers a permanent ownership path for the hands-free highway driving system, a shift from the recurring fee model used in previous model years.

Powertrain Updates

The 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 serves as the base engine for 2026, producing 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. The 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 has been detuned by 18 horsepower compared to the previous year and is offered in two variants: 382 hp with 500 lb-ft of torque, and 450 hp with 510 lb-ft in the Raptor. The naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 continues with 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. The PowerBoost hybrid option pairs a 3.5-liter turbo V6 with an electric motor to produce 420 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque, and can be equipped with a 7.2-kW onboard generator in the truck bed.
