2026 Ford F-150
F-150 XLT
America's Most Popular F-150 — The Best Balance of Features and Value
America's Favorite. For Good Reason.
The 2026 Ford F-150 XLTT is the most popular F-150 trim in America — and for good reason. It strikes the ideal balance between capability, comfort, and value, adding meaningful upgrades over the XL without the premium price of the Lariat. Whether you're towing a boat to the Gulf Coast, hauling equipment to a jobsite, or commuting with the family, the XLT delivers the right features at the right price.
The XLT comes standard with a 12-inch fully digital instrument cluster, 8-way power driver seat, cloth 40/console/40 seating, LED fog lamps, body-color bumpers, zone lighting, and a power sliding rear window with defroster — all upgrades over the XL. Plus, the XLT unlocks the available 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 (420 hp, 578 lb-ft) and available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving — neither of which is offered on the XL.
For 2026, the XLT introduces two new appearance packages: the XLT Chrome Appearance Package with 20-inch Chrome-like PVD wheels and chrome accents, and the XLT Black Appearance Package Plus with 20-inch gloss black wheels, black ActiveX-trimmed seats, and black exterior badging. Four engine choices — including the PowerBoost Hybrid — give you flexibility no other trim in this price range can match.
Four Engine Choices
Standard 2.7L EcoBoost, available 3.5L EcoBoost, 5.0L V8, and the 3.5L PowerBoost Hybrid (420 hp).
BlueCruise Available
Available hands-free highway driving on approved roads. Select XLT models with the 302A equipment group.
12" Digital Cluster
Fully digital instrument cluster, 12" SYNC 4 touchscreen, zone lighting, and power sliding rear window — all standard on XLT.
Most Popular Trim
Starting from $45,695 MSRP — the most capable truck in America at an accessible price.
Four Engines. Your Choice.
The XLT is the most versatile F-150 trim for powertrains — four engine choices, all paired with a 10-speed SelectShift automatic, in both 4x2 and 4x4.
2.7L EcoBoost V6
The efficient daily-driver choice. Twin-turbo power with best-in-class fuel economy for light towing and everyday use. Standard on XLT.
3.5L EcoBoost V6
The towing king. Best-in-class 13,500-lb tow rating when properly equipped with the Tow/Haul Package and Max Tow Axle upgrade.
5.0L Ti-VCT V8
Classic V8 truck character with flex-fuel capability. Naturally aspirated reliability with the unmistakable Coyote exhaust note.
3.5L PowerBoost Hybrid
