It is easy to overbuild an F-150. This one takes the opposite approach. The 2026 Ford F-150 STX SuperCrew 4x2 gives you the full-size cab, 2.7L EcoBoost V6, 10-speed automatic, Class IV hitch and 36-gallon extended-range fuel tank, then keeps the rest focused on what a pavement-first Tampa Bay truck actually needs. EPA estimates of 19 MPG city, 25 MPG highway and 21 MPG combined make that big tank especially useful when Wesley Chapel is only the first stop of the day.

Agate Black Metallic works well with the STX Series because the truck already has enough contrast built in. A black and dark gray grille, 20-inch dark gray aluminum wheels, LED reflector headlamps and LED fog lamps give it a sharp look without turning it into a dressed-up luxury truck. Parks Plus rain-repellent treatment is a practical advantage when New Tampa disappears behind an afternoon downpour, while paint protection and nitrogen tire service add value to a truck that is going to spend its life outside and covering real miles.

The SuperCrew cab gives you options the bed cannot. Black STX cloth 40/console/40 seating and the flow-through center console make the front row useful for a long workday, while the rear cabin can carry family, coworkers or gear that should stay locked and dry. Illuminated entry, cruise control, Auto Hold, power windows and locks, and a tilt/telescoping steering column keep the truck straightforward. This new F-150 also includes the Parks Ford Lifetime Powertrain Warranty from Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel.

When something needs to ride outside, pickup-box tie-down hooks give you anchor points and the power tailgate lock helps protect what stays in the bed. The Class IV trailer hitch with Smart Trailer Tow Connector is already there for compatible towing, with Trailer Sway Control adding support once the trailer is moving. That can mean supplies headed to a property around Zephyrhills, a utility trailer going toward Dade City or weekend equipment leaving Land O Lakes. The 3.55 regular rear axle and rear-wheel-drive layout keep this particular STX centered on normal road use rather than pretending it is an off-road build.

A full-size pickup also has to be manageable when the day ends somewhere less truck-friendly. Rear parking sensors and the rear-view camera help in crowded Wesley Chapel and New Tampa lots, while BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert adds another set of eyes when backing out between larger vehicles. Lane-Keeping System, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Curve Control and Post-Collision Braking add support once you are back on the road. Selectable drive modes let you adjust the truck's response as conditions change.

SYNC 4 runs through the 12-inch center screen, and the 5G modem supports Ford app capability. The Connectivity Package includes one year with the Ford app, giving you connected vehicle functions without turning the dashboard into the main reason to buy the truck. The Secure Package is included for one year as well.

The 36-gallon tank is what ties this particular build together. Fill it in Wesley Chapel, spend the week moving through Tampa, New Tampa and Land O Lakes, make the longer run north toward Brooksville when the schedule calls for it, and stop thinking about the truck until there is work for it to do.

That is exactly what a well-equipped STX should be good at. Not all customers may qualify for all rebates. Price includes: $1000 - SSE Down Payment Assistance.
