The easiest way to understand this new 2026 Ford F-150 STX SuperCrew is to look at four choices that shape how it will actually live in a driveway. The first is the 2.7L EcoBoost V6. It gives this Agate Black pickup strong turbocharged response without forcing every owner into the biggest engine available, and Ford pairs it with an electronic 10-speed automatic. EPA estimates of 19 MPG city, 25 MPG highway and 21 MPG combined make the combination well suited to the miles between Wesley Chapel, New Tampa, Lutz and Tampa.

The second choice is underneath: a 3.55 electronic-locking rear axle. This is a rear-wheel-drive F-150, but engaging the locker can help both rear wheels work together when traction becomes limited on wet grass, loose surfaces, a boat ramp or an unpaved property. The fully boxed steel frame and 6,426-pound GVWR Package provide the truck structure, while selectable drive modes let the F-150 change its responses as conditions change. That is a smart combination for a Tampa Bay owner who spends most of the week on pavement but still expects a pickup to work when asked.

Choice number three is what happens behind the cab. A Class IV trailer hitch with Smart Trailer Tow Connector gives this 2026 F-150 STX a factory setup for compatible boats, utility trailers and recreational equipment. Trailer Sway Control adds support once moving, while pickup-box tie-down hooks help secure cargo when the job is hauling rather than towing. The extended-range 36-gallon fuel tank becomes especially valuable here, stretching the distance between stops on longer workdays or Florida road trips. Parks Plus adds paint protection, rain repellent and headlight protection to help care for the Agate Black exterior through sun, storms and highway miles.

The fourth choice is making the truck comfortable enough to use every day. Black STX cloth seating uses a 40/console/40 front layout with a flow-through center console, while the SuperCrew cab gives passengers meaningful rear-seat space. A 12-inch SYNC 4 screen handles compatible smartphone functions, entertainment and vehicle settings, and the included one-year connected package supports compatible Ford app features. Parks Plus continues inside with fabric protection, cabin sanitizer and antimicrobial treatment.

Driving a full-size pickup through Tampa traffic is easier with the right support around it. BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert helps monitor areas beside and behind the truck, rear parking sensors and a rearview camera assist in tighter spaces, and the Lane-Keeping System plus Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking add another layer of awareness. LED reflector headlights, automatic high beams and LED fog lamps help when the drive continues after dark.

This Agate Black F-150 STX is not built around one oversized specification. Its appeal is the combination: 2.7L EcoBoost efficiency for everyday driving, a locking rear axle when traction matters, factory towing equipment when the weekend requires it, a 36-gallon tank for longer distances and a SuperCrew cabin comfortable enough to use all week. For someone searching for a new 2026 Ford F-150 STX near Tampa or Wesley Chapel, those four choices make this truck make sense. Not all customers may qualify for all rebates.
