F-150 STX
Quick Answer: 2026 F-150 STX
The 2026 F-150 STX starts at $41,855 MSRP (excludes the $2,595 destination charge), sitting between XL and XLT with 18-inch gloss black-painted wheels, unique sport cloth seats, and color-coordinated carpet. STX is a full ordering trim, not an appearance package — but it's also the base for the new-for-2026 STX Lobo Package, an optional street-truck kit that requires the 5.0L V8 and adds a 2-inch lowered rear suspension with 22-inch gloss black wheels. STX can be built as either a SuperCab or SuperCrew and is available with every engine except the Raptor's High Output EcoBoost and the Raptor R's supercharged V8.
STX versus XL, and the Lobo Package that separates it from XLT
STX exists for buyers who want more than the base XL's steel wheels without paying XLT money for Zone Lighting and the fog-lamp package they may not need. The upgrade is mostly cosmetic and comfort-focused: 18-inch gloss black-painted wheels instead of steel, sport cloth seats instead of XL's utility-first cloth, and color-coordinated carpet in place of the vinyl floor. It's still a work-capable trim underneath — nothing about the frame, suspension, or towing hardware changes just because the wheels got nicer.
The story worth understanding clearly is the STX Lobo Package, new for 2026. It's an option ON the STX trim, not a separate ordering trim of its own, and it requires the 5.0L V8. Specifying it drops the rear suspension 2 inches and swaps in 22-inch gloss black wheels alongside a gloss black grille — a lowered, street-focused look that's closer to a factory-built sport truck than anything else in the F-150 lineup below Raptor pricing. Buyers cross-shopping STX against XLT should ask specifically whether a given build has the Lobo Package, since it changes the ride height and stance in ways a spec sheet alone won't always make obvious.
Engine and cab options
STX shares the 2.7L EcoBoost, 3.5L EcoBoost, 5.0L V8, and PowerBoost hybrid with XLT — the full non-performance range. Cab choices are SuperCab or SuperCrew (no Regular Cab on STX, that's XL-exclusive). An available Tow/Haul Package brings an integrated trailer brake controller for STX buyers planning to tow regularly.
Frequently asked questions
Is STX a higher trim than XLT?
No — STX sits between XL and XLT in Ford's 2026 lineup, priced at $41,855 versus XLT's $44,695. STX buyers get better wheels and seating than XL, but XLT adds Zone Lighting, LED fog lamps, and available features like the 360-degree camera that STX doesn't offer.
What is the STX Lobo Package?
A new-for-2026 option on the STX trim only. It requires the 5.0L V8 engine and adds a 2-inch lowered rear suspension, 22-inch gloss black wheels, and a gloss black grille for a street-focused, lowered look.
Can I get the PowerBoost hybrid on an STX?
Yes — STX is one of five 2026 F-150 trims where the PowerBoost full hybrid is available, alongside XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum.
What cab styles does the STX come in?
SuperCab or SuperCrew. Regular Cab is exclusive to the XL trim, so an STX is always a four-door or extended-cab truck.
