A SuperCrew cab, a 36-gallon fuel tank and the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 tell you exactly what this 2026 Ford F-150 STX 4x2 is built to do: cover a lot of ground, carry people comfortably and handle everyday truck duty without adding hardware you may never use. For someone working between Wesley Chapel, New Tampa and Land O Lakes, that can be a better fit than buying a more complicated truck simply because it is available.

The cab does more than add rear-seat room. Black STX cloth 40/console/40 seating gives the front row a full center console, while the second row gives you secure space for coworkers, family, tools, bags or purchases that should not ride exposed in the bed. Cruise control, illuminated entry and a tilt/telescoping steering column keep the basics easy, and this new F-150 includes the Parks Ford Lifetime Powertrain Warranty from Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel.

Out back, the pickup box is ready for the jobs that do not require a giant option package. Tie-down hooks give you anchor points for cargo, the power tailgate lock adds security, and the Class IV trailer hitch with Smart Trailer Tow Connector gives you a foundation for compatible towing. Trailer Sway Control adds support once a trailer is moving. For a utility trailer headed toward Zephyrhills or a weekend load going north through Dade City, the truck has the essentials in place without pretending to be a dedicated tow rig.

The 2.7L EcoBoost works through Ford's 10-speed automatic with rear-wheel drive and a 3.55 regular rear axle. That setup is well suited to the pavement-heavy miles most Tampa Bay owners actually drive. EPA estimates are 19 MPG city, 25 MPG highway and 21 MPG combined, and the extended-range 36-gallon tank means longer stretches between fuel stops. A workday that starts in Wesley Chapel, crosses into Tampa and finishes farther north toward Brooksville can involve enough miles without adding another stop for fuel.

Agate Black Metallic gives this STX a cleaner, darker personality. The black and dark gray grille, LED reflector headlamps, LED fog lamps and 20-inch dark gray aluminum wheels give it the right amount of attitude without turning the truck into an appearance project. Parks Plus paint protection helps defend the black finish from Florida sun and environmental exposure, while rain-repellent treatment is useful when a dry afternoon suddenly turns into a storm on State Road 54.

Ford keeps the technology practical too. SYNC 4 runs through a 12-inch center display, backed by a 5G modem and Ford app capability. The Connectivity Package includes one year with the Ford app, and the Secure Package is included for one year. BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert, rear parking sensors and the rear-view camera make a full-size pickup easier to manage in crowded New Tampa lots, while Lane-Keeping System and Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking add support once traffic starts moving again. Auto Hold is another feature that earns its place when the commute slows to a crawl.

This STX does not need four-wheel drive, a locking axle or a luxury trim to have a clear purpose. It gives you SuperCrew space, EcoBoost power, a long-range tank, useful towing hardware, connected Ford technology and the look of a truck that does not need much explaining.
