There is a reason a rear wheel drive F-150 with an electronic locking axle can be such a smart Tampa Bay truck. Most of the miles between Wesley Chapel, New Tampa, Land O Lakes, Zephyrhills, Dade City, and Brooksville happen on pavement, but that does not mean every day ends on pavement. This 2026 Ford F-150 STX SuperCrew 4x2 gives you the simpler 4x2 setup while keeping a 3.55 electronic locking rear axle for added traction when wet grass, loose dirt, a boat ramp, or uneven property access gets involved.

Ford backs that setup with the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 and electronic 10 speed automatic. A 36 gallon extended range fuel tank is also on the truck, which matters when a workday starts in Wesley Chapel, runs through New Tampa and Land O Lakes, then keeps going toward Zephyrhills or Dade City before heading home.

Before getting into the rest of the equipment, there is long term ownership value built in too. Every new vehicle at Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel includes our Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. Parks Plus benefits can include paint and fabric protection, rain repellent, headlight protection, nitrogen tire service, Stolen Vehicle Assistance, and roadside assistance. Ford also includes a one year Secure Package.

The SuperCrew cab is where this STX earns its everyday usefulness. Four full size doors give family, coworkers, or clients real rear seat room, while Black STX cloth 40/console/40 seating and the flow through center console keep the front cabin functional. When people are not riding in back, that space becomes secure storage for laptops, tools, bags, or gear that should stay out of the bed.

Oxford White gives the truck a clean look that works equally well for personal or business use. The STX Series adds a black and dark gray grille, LED fog lamps, 20 inch dark gray aluminum wheels, 275/60R20 all season tires, LED reflector headlamps, and rear privacy glass. It looks sharp in New Tampa and Wesley Chapel without feeling out of place at a job site in Zephyrhills or on property farther north near Dade City and Brooksville.

Towing capability is already built in with a Class IV trailer hitch, Smart Trailer Tow Connector, and Trailer Sway Control. Pickup box tie down hooks help manage cargo, the power tailgate lock adds convenience, and the fully boxed steel frame with the 6,426 pound GVWR Package provides the foundation underneath it.

The technology is aimed at making daily truck use easier rather than more complicated. SYNC 4 runs through a 12 inch screen, while a 5G modem, Ford app capability, and the included one year Connectivity Package add supported connected features. BLIS with Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Keeping System, Pre Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, rear parking sensors, rear view camera, Auto Hold, Curve Control, selectable drive modes, and Post Collision Braking all support the drive through busy Tampa Bay traffic.

What makes this F-150 stand out is the combination rather than one oversized option. It gives a Wesley Chapel or New Tampa commuter an easy truck to live with, a Land O Lakes homeowner a real bed and towing hardware, and a Zephyrhills, Dade City, or Brooksville buyer the added usefulness of an electronic locking rear axle without requiring 4x4.

Oxford White and STX styling get the first glance. The locker, 36 gallon tank, Class IV hitch, SuperCrew cab, and 2.7L EcoBoost are the reasons the truck keeps making sense after that.
