2026 Ford F‑150: America’s Best-Selling Truck For A Reason

The 2026 Ford F‑150 continues to dominate America’s full‑size pickup segment, with the F-Series marking 49-years as America’s best-selling truck in 2025. Now, F-150 brings more tech and versatility to drivers in Cookeville and the Upper Cumberland region. Ford offers a robust range of engines: the base 2.7‑liter EcoBoost V‑6 delivers about 325 hp, while the available 5.0‑liter V‑8 and twin‑turbo 3.5‑liter V‑6 both make around 400 hp. A hybrid “PowerBoost” option pairs a 3.5‑liter V‑6 with an electric motor to produce about 430 hp. Depending on the powertrain, the F‑150 can tow up to 13,500 lb and haul roughly 2,455 lb—enough to pull a work trailer to a jobsite or a boat to Center Hill Lake.

Power and Towing Capabilities

The F‑150’s engine lineup offers something for every driver. The 2.7‑liter EcoBoost produces 325 hp and 400 lb‑ft of torque, while the 3.5‑liter EcoBoost generates 382 hp and 500 lb‑ft; the high‑output 3.5‑liter version makes 450 hp. The PowerBoost hybrid offers 420 hp and 578 lb‑ft of torque and can tow 11,600 lb, and the 5.0‑liter V‑8 tows up to 12,800 lb. A supercharged 5.2‑liter V‑8 in the Raptor R pushes 720 hp. Every F‑150 uses a smooth 10‑speed automatic transmission, and four‑wheel drive is available across trims.

Choosing the Right F‑150 for You

Upper Cumberland drivers should consider how they’ll use their truck. For daily commuting and occasional towing, the efficient 2.7‑liter V‑6 or hybrid may suffice. Contractors who regularly haul equipment may prefer the 3.5‑liter EcoBoost or V‑8 for maximum towing. Off‑road enthusiasts can look to the Tremor or Raptor for beefed‑up suspensions and all‑terrain tires.
