2026 Ford F-150 Trim Comparison
Choosing a 2026 Ford F-150 means working through eight trim levels, each built for a specific kind of driver. At Ford of Cookeville, we help Tennessee shoppers sort through this lineup every day, and we’ve found that picking the right one comes down to how you actually use it. Let’s take a closer look at the trim options for the newest iteration of America’s favorite pickup truck.
2026 Ford F-150 Trim Lineup at a Glance
STX®
XLT
Lariat®
King Ranch®
Platinum®
Tremor®
Raptor®
XL
The XL trim is the foundation of the new Ford F-150 lineup. It runs a 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 capable of up to 350 horsepower and offers durable cloth seating with vinyl flooring options. The XL trim also includes a 12-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and Ford Co-Pilot360® driver-assist technologies to help drivers stay connected and confident on the road. This focuses on the basics our contractor and fleet customers need without paying for features they won’t use.
STX®
The STX® trim adds sportier styling with body-color bumpers and 18-inch gloss black wheels. The new available Lobo™ Package brings a 2-inch lowered rear suspension, a 5.0-liter V8, gloss black exterior touches, and 22-inch wheels for real street presence. The STX trim also adds upgraded interior appointments and expanded technology options for drivers who want a more modern feel without stepping into higher luxury trims.
XLT
The XLT trim is our volume seller for good reason. It adds chrome accent options, upgraded cloth seats, available dual-zone climate, and more available tech. For daily drivers who also use the truck for work, we think this is the comfort and price sweet spot. Available towing-assistance technologies and equipment packages make the XLT a popular choice for drivers who regularly haul trailers or equipment.
Lariat®
The Lariat® trim is where the F-150 starts feeling like a truck you want to spend time in. Synthetic ActiveX-trimmed heated and ventilated seats, a 12-inch center display, and available Ford BlueCruise® hands-free highway driving make long trips easier. Many buyers consider the Lariat trim the point where premium comfort, advanced technology, and everyday usability come together.
King Ranch®
The King Ranch® trim brings Western-inspired luxury with unique two-tone leather, wood trim accents, and signature badging throughout the cabin. The available 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 can give your new Ford truck serious capability and comfort. Exclusive interior materials and distinctive styling details help separate the King Ranch® from the rest of the F-150 lineup.
Platinum®
The Platinum® trim is our modern luxury pick. The new Satin Appearance Package adds brushed silver trim inside and out, joining full leather, premium audio, and a long list of standard tech features. Features such as premium connectivity, advanced driver-assistance systems, and upscale cabin materials help define the Platinum® experience.
Tremor®
The Tremor® trim is built for real off-road use. It pairs a 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 with 33-inch all-terrain tires, an off-road tuned suspension, steel skid plates, and selectable drive modes for trails, gravel, and mud. You can also upgrade the engine to a brawny 5.0-liter V8. Features such as Trail Control™, Trail Turn Assist, and available off-road cameras help drivers navigate challenging terrain with greater confidence.
Raptor®
The Raptor® trim is the desert performance truck of the lineup. It runs a high-output 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6, 35-inch tires, FOX shocks, and a five-link rear suspension built for high-speed off-road driving. Specialized drive modes and advanced terrain-management systems help maximize performance across sand, dirt, rocks, and other demanding conditions.
